Right. So this is week three, the week to focus on rest and relaxation along with hydration and nutrition to allow my body to recharge ready for the deployment of reinforcements session 3 (half way hurrah – bring out the bunting!!).
I feel as if I have at last got to grips with my body’s requirements to facilitate optimum digestion processes 😉
The key seems to be:
1 glass of prune juice and 1 500ml bottle of Aloe Juice each day
3 litres of liquid (water, milk, herbal teas etc.)
Very little (if any) bread, pasta, rice
A little potato, beans and pulses
Good quality protein – mainly chicken and fish, a little beef
No processed foods or meats… no sausages, ham, bacon 🙁
Loads of (about 75% of everything I consume) fresh fruit and vegetables
It’s not so bad and having a chef for a husband really helps #whataluckygirliam!!
So with that organised I can focus on the other elements of the strategy, quality rest and relaxation for the body and mind. Tomorrow I am attending a workshop at the Big C called ‘look good, feel good’. It is about skincare and makeup techniques. Luckily, I haven’t lost my eyebrows yet but I am looking forward to learning how to ‘draw them in’ so that if/when they do go I will be able to fake it! I was worried about having an issue with my foundation… knowing where to stop but I am just blending up onto my head, way beyond my wig or hat line so that I don’t look too weird when I take them off when I’m at home with Phil!
The workshop is followed by a hat and scarf demo – watch this space for new looks 🙂
Talk to you soon
Lots of love Mand xxx
Love your blog! I have learnt so much just reading it. Keep going Mand! I admire your honesty and how you are staying so positive and realistic with all the treatment etc you are undergoing and above all sharing your thoughts with us. Thinking of you. Love K xx Him indoors sending you his love too xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
OK. So I’m just popping into Ely to get the prune and Aloe juice!
Dad and I really looking forward to your visit tomorrow. Lots of fish on the menu so I hope you’ll be feeling hungry. Although we are talking about a Flack-Crane girl and food, so I suppose the answer is obvious!!
Hope you have a good time at your workshop today. One thing’s for sure, you’ll be the life and soul of the group, no doubt taking the lead by the end of the session!
Drive carefully lovely girl and we’ll see you in the morning.
