Hello Everyone, I hope that you are all feeling well and that you have enough energy to enjoy the weekend.

Now, I am feeling quite positive about today. It started off well. I think I have learnt my lesson about combining juices, and I will stick to a few ingredients that I know work together.

For my juice today I had a combination of celery, carrots and spinach, I made about 1L.

For breakfast, again, I couldn't drink much juice before I left the house, I must have drunk only 200ml. The juice was actually nice, much sweeter than it looked, true to form for fresh juices, I could feel the goodness as it nourished my body. And of course a glass of water about 3ooml and some apple cider vinegar.

Lunch is getting to be a much of a muchness. I had three slices of wholemeal bread toasted, avocado and an organic apple. Perhaps this is a cause of my binge last night, not enough nourishment during the day or even my blood sugar was a little low or even just because it is cold, windy and rainy and I was home alone. Who knows, these things do happen, and I am lucky enough not to attribute guilt to overeating.

So I drank most of my juice between 4 and 6 in the afternoon, I still had a little left when I got home, but no big deal.

For dinner, I decided that I should just go ahead and eat a lot more. So I made the tomato, chili, garlic, basil and parsley sauce and had courgette "pasta", this time I had a much bigger courgette. To go with that I had a small bulb of fennel finely shredded and dressed with apple cider vinegar and olive oil.

Now this was a big improvement. I felt full, infact a little over full, but not in a nasty bloaty way. I had planned to eat some fruit or make some sweet juice later on in the evening, but I didn't need it.

Compared to yesterday, I did really well today. Partly because I am making a conscious connection between food and health and happiness and partly because after having eaten all of that food in the evening today I had a sore throat, so I drank lots of water and herbal tea to try and perk myself up.

Today had it's bonus, one of my best friends invited me to visit her next weekend and go to a party with her. I am really looking forward to a day and a bit of catching up on gossip, dressing up and going out and buying some herbal tea. Where I live is nice, but we are missing out on a few shops, so I think that I will come back with a suitcase full of tea.
