Well, today was my husband's birthday and so all detox rules were null and void for the day, as predicted. I didn't go too wild though, I had to drive home from the city after lunch so I could only have one glass of wine then and I wasn't really that keen on the red we had with dinner, so only had about another half a glass. Breakfast and dinner were actually completely in line with the detox. My morning snack, lunch and after dinner snack were not, but hey, it was a birthday. No exercise really either, but we did spend a great day out together, had a lovely time at the exhibition and talked for hours, all whilst Grandma was babysitting, brilliant!

Not much to say about today, only that perhaps I had intended to be back into my favourite dress for today, but I didn't even try it on. I was pretty sure it still wouldn't fit. My husband however, wore one of his favourite shirts that had been getting really tight around the belly and the arms and it now is not at all tight, so he's lost a fair bit of weight. He's scared he's losing muscle mass and has vowed to start doing weights again. I really do have to make some kind of commitment to exercise more. Maybe I'll book it into my diary or something...
