Bentos # 145 & 146

Bento #146

Breakfast bento - Was suppose to be a 'monster' jam sandwich but evolved to an animal (maybe a dog? Even MP wasn't exactly sure what it was!! ha ha) with a quail egg in between his mouth! Used cereal as filler and some blanched broccoli for added vitamins and colour!
Bento #145

Dinner bento - Garlic rice onigri with some pan fried pork chops and vegetables.

Loving thy self

Coming back from my business trip, I realize that I've been ignoring myself.

Ignoring in the sense that I haven't been really looking after my body.

Decided to make take charge and make changes to 'rejuvenate', 're-boost', 'reinvigorate' and basically be more healthy. One step towards that other than to change my eating habits is also to drink more juice (fruits/vegetables). I am also working towards a lighter dinner option with less carbos.

Green is suppose to be 'healthy' right? Have been juicing a combination of apples, celery, cucumber with a small nob of ginger.

The other plan is also to exercise more on a regular basis (still in the planning phase, haven't really kick start this fully yet with too many set backs - work, weather and well plain laziness). It doesn't help either when you receive many emails advising women to be more careful due to the rising crime, snatch thieves and rape incidents. *sigh, what is our country coming to - these days practically have to be prisoners of our own home!!*

This is more for my own record purposes but if anyone is interested to try this out....

Gallstones Flush

1. For 5 continuous days, drink apple juice (fresh or if no time, Marigold brand without added sugar) 1 litre throughout the day (unless you can gulp down the litre in one sitting!!). During this time, avoid any caffeine and drink more water. Also eat lightly and avoid oily and deep fried food.
   
2. On the 5th day, skip dinner and follow as follows:
   (i) At 6pm, drink 2 tsp Epsom salt in ¾ glass of warm water.
   (ii) Again at 8pm, repeat drink of 2 tsp Epsom salt in ¾ glass of warm water.
   (iii) At 10pm, drink a mixture of 1/2 cup olive oil (first cold pressed extra virgin) and ¾ cup of fresh grapefruit juice. Add together and shake well and drink. If find difficult, use a straw.
   (iv) Lie down on right side for at least one hour or go to sleep.
   
3. You will have loose bowels at least 5 times.
   
4. But if not, next morning 6am, take Epson salt drink again.
   
5. At 8am, take Epson salt drink again.

Note - If you cannot stand the flushes or bowel movements, take bread to stop.

Tip - best to do this on the weekends where you have no plans to go out! Always be alert what your body is trying to tell you, if too stressful/demanding, stop or adjust accordingly.

Personally, I haven't tried the flush yet as I want to work on and tackle other goals first. Got it from a friend of mine who does this regularly (once a month) and swears by it.
