Food change has started, after eating a superstore worth of chocolate and sleeping for a full day it's time to sort this bloody rubbish out and the food is the first place to start.
Breakfast of overnight oats with chia seeds, coconut water and goji berries or rye bread with spinach and poached eggs I feel like a food superhero. My dinners have been awesome tho, homemade veggie burgers, quinoa risotto with aubergine and salad of beetroot, kale and tomato with udos oil (all the omega 3, 6 & 9 you fit into one tablespoon) I'm feeling rather proud of myself.
Today has been mad, last night all I could think about was sleep and sleep I did for 10 hours, anyone who knows me knows that this is not normal but I couldn't stay awake and then I couldn't wake up, when I did I felt urgh and dizzy. This def calls for a lazy day. However after a chat with my consultants secretary who was another fabulously lovely person in my corner (mine, not Amos's) I have the amazing news that Amos's eviction is booked for the last week of July, obviously this is subject to nobody having more trouble with their head guest than I'm having with mine. My tiredness is down to the tablets that nobody can pronounce that I am taking to shut Amos up, the advice on this is just rest when I feel I need to.
The other piece of amazing news is that I will be able to fly, now I know you're reading this and thinking WTF but my daughter has her hen weekend at the end of August in Dublin and I would be utterly devastated not be joining her on this brilliant party. I mean lets face it first what mother doesn't want to watch her daughter prepare for the marriage to her amazing son in law to be? But being as this is Dublin there might well be the fit, single Irish man who falls in love with the mother of the bride with a bald patch and a stapled head?!
So lets get back to the healthy eating and away from the fit, single Irish man that is going to fall in love with me in Dublin :) I have discovered a love for turmeric, I use it with everything, apparently using it with pepper makes it 1000 times more powerful. So turmeric is my info choice today according to the daily mail online turmeric is one of natures wonder drugs, we should eat or drink it every day because some naturopathy experts believe that it is better than a magic pil that can help to protect us from some of the worst diseases on the planet.
So how much do you eat - and how do you eat it?
Turmeric is potent stuff. If I gave you an eighth of a teaspoon of turmeric to eat once a day for a week, then exposed your blood to an oxidising (bad) chemical, the number of cells with DNA damage could be cut in half. All because you had a little bit of turmeric onboard.
Add pepper to increase it's potency, even the tiniest pinch of pepper can significantly boost curcumin levels in your blood.
I've made turmeric tea by crushing it in my nutribullet with hot water and black pepper, I serve it either with water or warm nut milk. Make sure you brush your teeth after though I don't want the yellow teeth thing happening.

Another reminder that my friends are amazing when they just turn up with my favourite drink and a hug. How did I mass the amazing friends I have? I genuinely have no idea but I am and always will be utterly grateful to all of them.
Now I'm going to be honest about this blogging thing, I am doing it for my own benefit but if there is anyone going through this and doesn't have my ridiculous sense of humour needs to inject some daftness into their uninvited guest please please message me, take some comfort that we can beat these buggers out and try and keep smiling while we're doing it.
