I did not starve and I drank wine and had ice-cream and chocolate as well. And a couple of cookies and a real junk food meal – KFC with chips and coleslaw! Yep. I did take the skin off the chicken and used organic tomato sauce from Woolies with the chips

Really, I just had more raw vegetables and a little more fruit in between all the high carb food and I ate alkaline as far as I could. It is a great way to think. Thinking alkaline. And of course, I have been exercising in the pool for an hour a day, five times in seven days. My absolute best. So weightless and divine, but boy am I feeling stronger! Very yum with wasabi mayo.

Take a tortilla (ok that’s acid) /thin crepe/lettuce leaf, whatever, and cut up some veggies into strips. Spread wrap with some wasabi mayo/cream cheese/cottage cheese/mayo and yogurt, again whatever you fancy, and fill with your veggies, roll up tight and cut on the diagonal. And just because you have cut up a lot of veggies, you put them on the side and eat them as well. This was one of my snack-lunches.

This morning was a banana (alkaline) after one hour of Water Babes and a little while later 2 small slices of olive ciabatta toast, drizzzled with olive oil and a cup of black Italian Roast freshly ground coffee, no sugar. If I did take sugar I would have used Stevia or Xylitol. And if I was desperate and had no sugar I would have dipped a clean spoon into the coffee and put it into whatever sugar (preferably muscovado or demerara) and had a wet teaspoon of sugar in my coffee. Very rarely though.

I am heading for a green smoothie at 12. All alkaline. Watercress, rocket and some lettuce, with an apple and a some ginger, blended with some cold water. I will also put some almonds in water in the fridge to soak. 

Activity will be a little more than usual today. Normally I sit and write or sit and stand to paint, so I really am sedentary most of the time, but today I am going to start packing for the new farm house. Everything that I need with NO CLUTTER!!!  While I am decluttering my body I shall be decluttering my house, garage, carport, in fact, my life. Go to Flylady.net to see some excellent tips on how to declutter your life. Starting with a Shiny Sink (which I still don’t get right all the time). But I love to declutter when I get into it.

So, off to to have my green smoothie and then pack.
