The third week of mySpring Cleansinghas gone fast and easy. I started the week with2 Fasting days– well, I must admit that they weren’ttotalfasting because I’m unable to live on just water or even juice. Instead, I drunk lots of herbal teas and soups (with no bits) so I ateno solid foodas such. I did these fasting days at the weekend as I find it easier to survive them without any other pressures – during the week there is too much stress and hassle that makes me hungry and want to snack. The good thing is that I’m less and less hungry – indeed this week I ate smaller portions because I felt fuller sooner. Result: my trousers feel looser around my waist!! Here, in more detail, is howWeek 3 has gone:

Exercise & beauty care
30 minutes’ walk in the park & 10 minutes stretching at home – not every day, unfortunately, again due to the weather
2 x bath with Epsom salt
Body brushing for 5 minutes before shower
Used only organic skincare and natural deodorant
Observations
My tummy is getting flat! My trousers feel comfortable again!
My appetite has shrunk too. A lot. I don’t feel snacking at all.
I’m sleeping better and much deeper, I think. So I feel much better during the day and able to concentrate on work for hours (without needing to snack)!
My skin is smoother all over my body.
The spots are worse on my face (I’m treating them with cider vinegar and which hazel).
Next week I’ll reintroduce dairy, eggs and fish into my diet
