I decided to do a bit of a detox/Daniel Fast this week. I am doing fine with the fruit, vegetables etc, it’s the COFFEE or lack thereof that is killing! You wouldn’t believe how much I have whined (in my head) about not being able to drink that delicious, soothing, energizing brown nectar……ahhhhh….coffee….snap out of it! Another sip of disgusting delicious green tea, that will do it. I am amazed, too, at how often I usually snack. I have found myself wanting to grab a piece of cheese or some yoghurt, or something else verboten about twenty times a day. I can’t believe what a big part food plays in our lives, for nourishment but also for sheer pleasure. It is good to break a habit and a craving. If only these nasty headaches would disappear.

In other news, I’ve spent a lot of time this last week preparing for our Cambodia trip. Not the teaching, yet, but the planning. We are going to do a mini stopover in Singapore which I am really looking forward to. My hubs has been working very, very hard and a little break will do him good.
