I’m on day four of a cleanse right now. I won’t get into all the specifics. But suffice it to say my sugar binge over Christmas caught up with me. So for the last four days I have been eating raw veggies and a little fruit and juicing extraordinary concoctions (and when I say extraordinary I don’t mean ‘fabulous’) of kale, spinach, garlic, wheatgrass and the like. It helps if I think of the brew as cold soup instead of juice. Further, I haven’t had a coffee in three days. (I cheated on day one with an espresso. Simon made me do it.) So all in all there’s not much to live for. All of my enjoyable and inspiring routines have been disturbed. As such, I no longer have anything to say. My mind is vacuous. I know that lots of people are creative, and I’m certain that at one point creativity also abided in me, but in my current state I can’t fathom HOW. Or WHAT.

Frankly, I’m scared.

    Great line and word.

    Thanks for being determined for the rest of us. BTW tell me how to lower blood sugar without sacificing coffee?

    Oh My Goodness!!!! I feel your pain!!! I’ve reduced my intake of foods from my favourite food groups–chocoloveliness, fruitastic fruits and carbiliciousness… It’s week three. I’ve had a few moments of weakness… some rice with your sister… a mango… and some sea salt chocolate on the weekend… but that’s it… I’m not the same person anymore. Quite frankly, I don’t know who I am… but I don’t like her…

    I love both you and Tamara and coffee is overrated…until you’re going to allow yourself some again and then we’ll reassess…wishing for one of your cold soup concoctions right now actually.

    Headache, can’t think??!!??

    Is this worth it?

    As for coffee, twenty year habit is hard to break but then I did break my coke habit. Cola that is, not the fine powder.
