I am all for telling people to push themselves out of their comfort zones. Yet, it is a very different story when you have to do it yourself. It is so much nicer to stay where you are and pull the doonah (duvet, if you are not an Aussie) over your head. We all pull the duvet over our heads all the time. The last few days have had the duvet pulled right off and my world has been exposed to different ways of managing your health, wellbeing and longevity.

So much of the time, we are marketed to, told something is good for you, yet evidence to the contrary is suppressed for whatever reason. We complicate our health by processed foods, fast living and convenience. In the busy worlds we live in, it is easy to fall into bad eating habits because it is just to hard to put some planning and thought around it. We have the knowledge a lot of the time, but creating the habits is challenging.

What I have learnt on the last few days is that I eat the wrong things, not hideously, but the margins do make a difference. I don’t need nearly as much food as I think I do to keep me energised, in fact some of what I eat is making me tired. I have been amazed at the energy and changes in my body after 4 days. What could this look like if I managed to stick to it?

It is 9:30am, I have done a 5 km walk, a stretch class, had the most amazing healthy breakfast…I guess I should sign off and go into the steam room, so that I will be in time for my clay wrap…aaah, bliss!
