Detox? What detox?

Last week I had all hopes and ambitions that I was going to be good and try a 9 day detox! I lasted a grand total of 3 days. 

Throughout the week I was constantly reminded by Facebook memories or Timehop that I go through the same routine after Easter every year and usually I end up failing at some point. Last year I managed 2.5 days, the sun came out and all of a sudden a glass of wine had slipped into my hand.

It’s not that I wake up on a morning thinking “ooh I know a gin and tonic would be lovely to start my day.” No no, that’s only when on tour. However, it’s nice to sit down with a nice glass of wine when having a nice meal or a gin and tonic in the sun. For me it’s the perfect relax. 

In my little sun trap I sometimes feel that I’m in foreign climes and how further away from those do we all feel right now. Who knows when we will get away – Australia looks further away now than ever before, particularly when you can’t transit through Hong Kong. It’s becoming more of a reality that plans will have to change. Lion king which was a 30th birthday treat has been postponed until May 2022, birthday celebrations postponed until October 2020 (I decided I would be like the queen, plus what else am I going to do with an inflatable Mr. Blobby, some disco lights and a handful of 90s photo booth props 🤷🏻‍♀️). 

Anyhow, back to my sun trap and relaxing with a glass of wine. There’s no point trying to change habits – it’s more adapting to ensure the correct balance. With the Easter break coming to an end my work routine will be recommencing at 7am tomorrow morning. I’ve made sure I’ve booked onto a HIIT class to keep me moving and I’m scheduling in a ride or the couch to 5km every other day. The detox won’t happen but it will during the week – back to living for the weekend and remembering what day it is.

This whole experience for me has been pretty zen. I feel so relaxed and pretty positive! I just wish I could do it with friends and family! Now for another 3 weeks of isolation as we know it. 

Make sure you look after yourselves. Stay home and make a positive change for the better – we can do this 💪🏼💪🏼
