I’m trying not to think about food. Ignoring the empty feeling in my tummy and the growing headache! Only 3 days to go 🙂

I saw a natropath on Tuesday looking for a reason for a few health complaints that I want fixed up. The upshot of it all is that I am now on a 3 day liquid fast in order to empty my Gastrointestinal Tract. After the third day I take Probiotics which will repopulate my gut with the right type of ‘flora’ and fix me up from the inside out. Sounds great, but at the moment I am hungry! I only started today – well last night at dinner was the last thing I ate. He said today and tomorrow will be hard, but Saturday I’ll be feeling great and tempted to continue for a few more days! Yeah right – we’ll see about that.

I’m distracting myself so I don’t think about eating, The kitchen is sparkling and I have 2 loads of washing out on the line. I might do the bathrooms next, but I might have to conserve energy for the next few days!!

I’ll tell you about Melbourne. After arriving we headed straight to DFO in Spencer Street and shopped for about 4 hours. I purchased shoes x 2, a skirt, goggles for the kids and had a wonderful time browsing and trying on dresses and tops without interruption. Bliss. After we all met up again we went to Kates place where Rohan pulled off an amazing dinner and Auntie Maureen and Peter came too. Great night. It took a little time to get used the trains going past Kate’s place, and that they had to toot their horn as they went through the crossing was a bit hard to take all night long. However I slept and the next morning we were off to her local mall, home for lunch then into the city for our 2pm session of The Phantom of the Opera. This is the 3rd time I’ve seen it and it was just as magical and brilliant. Loved it.

After that we (eventually) found a bar for a few drinks before our reservation at ‘fifteen’. No Tobie, but a few chefs from the show and our waiter was familiar. Now I have to say, it was a GREAT meal. And I mean great. When I think about one dish I had I still get goosebumps. Everything about it was wonderful. And even more wonderful that I was there with my sisters, 2 wonderful sisters-in-law and Mum.

Sunday, up again early and out to the Victoria Markets. Purchases were 2 handbags (i even haggled with the price!), a hat, running socks and 2 delicious American donuts (and I wonder why I am on a detox!!). After a few hours there we decided to see a movie, given that the cinema is something I never get to do at home. We saw 27 Dresses and it was lovely. I cried, I admit it!!

Arrived home to find the girls so ably looked after by Justin and everything in order except their hair. I thought I was living with gypsies! They had a great weekend doing all the crazy things that I never want to do so that was good.

Back to normal now, but still hungry. We might go for a walk to take my mind off the grumbling.

Have a good 3 days eating what you desire!
