Said I was going to take a nap, but I didn't. Couldn't. Mind was too alert, even though slept at 1am this morning, trying to iron away a mountain of clothes. Went instead to the kitchen and made some juice for Justine and myself. Bryan was not in. Had a banana. Did some writing.

About 6:30pm, prepared dinner. A quick one, didn't want to spend too much time in the kitchen. Went to fridge and took out all the vegetables I could find. Orange carrots, white mushroom, red pepper, yellow pepper, purple cabbage, green romaine lettuce. Chopped enough for the portion of one person. Yup, only one. Justine only takes the mushroom. We've had long debates about eating your greens over the years, and her dad and I have decided to just let it be. Otherwise dinner time can be quite stressful. She agrees though to take green drinks in replacement of her daily vegetable-nutrient deficiency.

Stir-fried the mixed veg together in sesame oil and added a dash of shoyu. Didn't bother with garlic and onions. In another pot, boiled some spaghetti noodles. When the noddles were ready, drained them before adding to the mixed vegs and gave a good toss. That was dinner. For the health conscious umm, volunteer, on Day 5 of Detox Program. :D

Day 5 ...

Today is Day 5. Had a shaker of The Green Drink this morning for breakfast. Was at school later part of the morning. Happy to note that, somehow, had the energy trying to execute certain pre-planned dance steps with a bunch of 5 year olds. Will be allocating an hour for dance practice daily on school days. That will be my uh, exercise, as suggested by the Tony Robbins' Program.

Came back at lunch hour. Took a second shaker of The Green Drink, and treated myself to a pear. Not hungry yet. Will see if I can continue today with ONE meal, along with my unlimited juices, fruits and green drink. And plenty of water. :D Took the above photo at Jusco yesterday when at the mall. Since am on to green at the moment, thought it'd be a great picture to upload on the blog. In case You are wondering, those are chilly padi plants. Really tiny chilly, about the size of your pinky.

I'm gonna take a short nap now ...
