I’m back. Last weekend was a complete disaster. I’d had a very active week, with lots of writing, and lots of ideas. Then, on Thursday, something really unfair and scary happened, and on Friday I sort of collapsed.
Like, fell of the health food wagon collapsed. I was in the depths of despair, angry and disappointed with myself, and far from feeling able to care for myself. So why bother eating healthy food, right? Let alone write about eating healthy food.
Wrong.
The next day had me feeling bloated. Headachy. Blah. And I again, I was angry and disappointed with myself. For different reasons this time.
A little voice in my head kept whining. “You already messed up anyway, might as well go out with a bang. Have some more ice cream. It’s OK, you deserve this little bit of comfort.” Only, it wasn’t really comfort. It was self-gratification with a serving of headache on the side. But if I already felt awful, why would I allow myself to keep eating the wrong stuff and start feeling worse and worse?
So I climbed back on the damn wagon and here I am.
So what’s for dinner?
Saturday

So much for our menu. We have another week planned out, and I for one, plan to stick to it. Are you with me?
Instead of sharing tips with you about how to maximise your kitchen’s available real estate, I want to share another sort of tip with you: Go check out this amazing blog by 
My own go to remedies are: sage tea, bone broth with lots of garlic, turmeric and black pepper, and echinacea tincture.
