Re-tox...

Okay so at lunch I may have added a few extra toxins:



However I was assured it was organic and had no preservatives.  And it was a hot (for Hobart) day.  And my husband, Mr V, decided to take me for lunch so I could hardly drink water now could I?

On the upside, from the perspective of my health, I also dropped into my favourite health food store, City Organics. 



Mainly to get the Coconut Aminos which are meant to replace soy sauce on the Cleanse but of course there was more room in my bag so I grabbed myself a new Butter London polish for my mani tomorrow - Toff - I love their names although think it's a bit of false advertising to be called Butter London and be made in the USA.  Oh and also a bit of 75% cocoa no added sugar chocolate.  And some lentil chips.  Plus some kale chips.  Which, despite the smart modern packaging, still looks like this



And tastes like kale.  I might sprinkle the remains over some brown rice tonight.  Or not.  I think I probably have green bits in my teeth now.

But in the best detox news I have had all day, when checking my reading list I found that Romy has drawn me as the winner of her comp for a free pass to Bikram yoga.  Romy is another blogger whose stylish wardrobe and home decor I covet (in a  non creepy way!) and who swims in the same small yet perfectly formed pond of Hobart.  Funnily enough my beautician was just raving about Bikram last week too.  Given that Mr V and I moved to Tasmania specifically to avoid the heat we endured for 30+ years, he will laugh a lot about my going to yoga in 38+ degrees. 

He will also laugh about my doing yoga full stop as I can hardly put one foot in front of the other without falling over some days, coordination is  not my best skill.  But new things are good.  And "the chick" used to be able to get her head to her knees due to regular Pilates and Callanetics so getting some of that movement back is part of the long self-improvement list.

I'll shoot you an email Romy, thank you so much!
