Hubster jumping on board now, thank god, poor old love and his aches and pains. He’s a Breaky bloke so whipped him up an omelette with fresh herbs, stuffed with chicken and Parmesan.
So far the biggest wins for me after just 6 days keto, inflammation has reduced significantly especially in my hands shoulders, neck and ankle, increased energy brain fog dissipating and the biggest plus I have not had a hot flush since day 3!
Mind blown all over again at the power of changing my diet 🩷

Day 6, 21 hours of fasting.
Getting easier everyday, although I was freaking starving tonight! Like we forget what it is like to feel hunger and our gut empty. Once I get my head in the game and decide, I just love how fasting makes me feel, bit like the feeling a runner gets. I’m not built for running but fasting yes 🤣
First real time I have had in the garden for a while this morning. Built the last bed at the bottom of the garden, planted a Sultana grape, sweet potato patch and yet to plant out the rockmelon that I have grown from seed, these will be grown vertically up the fence, along with loofa and some gourds…. cause space is of a premium!
Planted out a dwarf pear tree too.
My tomatoes and pumpkins gone mad, strung them up too!
Most of the 20c seedlings are powering out, lost about 6 seedlings to the caterpillars… already eating some of the baby lettuce leaves. We are eating Lebanese cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, corn, beans, leeks, spring onions, celery, eggplant, loads of herbs, chard, spinach and spuds.
Can you spot the dwarf almond tree in the celery patch? I thought I had killed it but alas gave it a good cut back and now she’s powering out!
We have 3 tiny apples, so blinking exciting.
Seeds popping everyday that I have no ideas what they are till they grow, it’s so much fun.
I managed to get some NZ yams growing, so I planted them out today too. Still haven’t worked out where to put the asparagus, cause basically can’t dig the dirt or use the space for anything else, they are busting out of their pots, hopefully I will figure it out soon!
The guava has doubled in size and is happily residing with the 3 sisters plot, corn, beans & pumpkin. Last but not least I got a piece of galangal to shoot so I’ve planted her out too!
Anyways he is some pics of how she is all growing 🩷🍐🌼

Who would have thought I have been on trend for years?
Have you seen the viral Girl dinner snack plate or something it’s called? 🤣
Like seriously…
Can anyone even have an original thought these days?
I do wonder? It does worry me that the opportunity for free thinking and imagination has been lost for the younger generations.
So much rubbish to fill their young brains.
Anyway rant over!
Here how you make Lebneh, it’s a soft cheese very similar to cream cheese with out the crap in it. I use it for dips, have made cheese cake with it and oh boy just adding a little bit of fresh garlic, mixed fresh herbs and a little black pepper and olive oil is my fav!
2 cups of Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon of salt.
Mix the Salt and yoghurt, put it in a cloth and then strainer on top of a bowl. Leave overnight in the fridge and ta da you have a magnificent cheese to do whatever you please with 🩷

Super productive day!
Yesterday was day 3 of my fasting, made to 20 hours. Worked all day doing a yard clean up with hubs, felt like s**t, major detox going on!
Today’s fast was broken early, my adult daughter turned up early and decided we were having a big Breaky, like so couldn’t join the fam for that 🤣 14 hour fast though so 🤷🏻‍♀️.
We had a 4am start, by 7 am I had made cottage cheese, lebneh cheese, keto bagels, 4 spelt loaves & a batch of bread rolls. I used the whey from the cheeses in the breads.
Pruned my comfrey to dry to make comfrey salve.
We swum for hours, hubby is in the middle doing some upgrades to my kitchen so my house is upside down 🙃
Then my eldest grand daughter and I hit the garden, had a forage found heaps of veg for dinner, she was so excited she got to dig up a potato bag, enough spuds for their dinner, found some more beetroot ready a couple of parsnips, some carrots which her and Daisy promptly chomped through. Beans, cucumber a few cherry tomatoes, loads of celery which I will mix with dill and red onion into the cottage cheese.
I just love my garden so much and the joy it brings, the way I have planted is like a real forage in the forest, we never know what we will find!
My ankle is much much better, my body feeling less aches, my energy has increased significantly and this is just 4 days in!
How beautiful is the weather? 🩷

Day 2 fast, made it 18 hours, could have gone further but need to take my vitamins and herbs which make me feel ick on an empty stomach. P*e tox has begun!
Traditionally day 3 is the hardest, ketosis starts to really kick in and so does feeling hangry 🤣.
Being prepared is the key to success, so I whipped a couple batches of seed crackers and boiled some eggs for starters.
I can’t stand the seed crackers with whole seeds like pumpkin & sunflower so I ground them first with some nigella seeds, plus it makes them much easier to digest. Seeds are jammed packed full of magnesium too, which is essential for when your body is in ketosis in fact it’s essential all the time! Nigella seeds or black seeds as they are also know is the seed used to make the magic black oil seed, which is a super duper oil for many ailments.
I made one batch just garlic & salt the second was seaweed & tamari.
Here’s the recipe:
1/2 cup Psyllium husks ( for fibre, also imperative for low carb)
1/2 cup chia seeds
2 cups of filtered water
1.5 cups peptitas
1 cup sunflower seeds
1/4 nigella seeds
1/2 cup black sesame seeds
1/2 cup white sesame seeds
1/2 cup poppy seeds
2 teaspoons of salt
2 tablespoons of olive oil
Garlic & onion powder to taste or any other spices you like. I used 2 nori sheets ground up and a good splash of tamari.
Soak the psyllium & chia with the water until goopy, grind the bigger seeds if you wish,
Combine everything with the psyllium/ chia goop. Roll out inbetween two sheets of baking paper cut to desired shape or leave and break up once cooked.
Bake at 180c until golden and crispy. My oven has an air fry setting and super powerful so it took around 25mins takes longer if you have a slower oven.
I just used the seeds I had on hand, use whatever seeds you like.
Store in an air tight container and you will have crackers for weeks!
Enjoy 🩷

Today was the day!
Made the decision to look after me the best way I know how!
22 hour fast done ✅
Low carb meal done ✅

This meal did not disappoint.
Here’s the recipe, I made huge batch, for tomorrow and some for the rest of the family for dinner, I added pasta for everyone else.
Cherry Tomatoes approx 2- 3 punnets (I was lucky to have a heap from my neighbour and my garden)
4 large cloves garlic I just smashed them and left them in their skin
1.5kg chicken drumsticks (use whatever chicken you like) seasoned with salt, pepper, smoky paprika garlic powder & onion powder.
Half block Danish feta
Good slog of olive
All in the one pan I put the feta in the middle and mixed through once cooked.
Bake for 30 mins 200c
Add shredded silverbeet (big bunch from the garden.
Back in the oven for 10 mins
Top with fresh basil, parsley & oregano and shaved Parmesan.
So Delish 🩷

Just a girl and her favourite piece at the Art Gallery today.
The depth of her soul needs no words.
The description of the magnificent piece so fitting .
I am always in awe of how she finds ways to communicate who she is beyond her diagnosis. 🩷

Special needs parenting comes with its own guilt package. Well it has for me.
These school holidays I have realised that I have not allowed myself to feel joy for so long, like real deep joy.
I constantly feel like I don’t do enough for our girl, like it’s so ingrained in me to ensure she is happy all the time. And when she isn’t I blame myself, I think what do I need to do to fix this for her. It’s like I have surrendered living because I can’t fix it for her. I can’t fix her life the way I want it to be, I can’t change that she has good days and bad days, don’t we all. I feel like I have been holding my breath for so long, running on if I fix every micro detail I won’t have to feel the pain of watching her live with Rett.
It’s so f€cking hard on my heart. I’m so hard on myself. Like this kid is tracking just like any other tween wants to listen to her music,
Wants to hang in her room, has a crush on a boy in a music band, living her best life and I still feel like it’s never enough. So here is the kicker literally, I am starting to want to live life again, I am starting to feel joy that I can’t control, like my heart bursts with joy lately and I have been feeling so guilty about it.
I created a rule that if I live as a martyr I can live with the pain and guilt. The bible talks about martyrdom, I have taken a personal vow to give my life, but to be honest it’s not a healthy vow, for her or me!
It is no longer sustainable.
I feel guilt for having support, like I don’t deserve it…but the reality is I have to let go, I have to let new life breathe into our lives, I have to accept what is and have faith that as my joy returns she will also benefit.
Our ankles are said to represent moving forward and accepting joy. Ironically my ankle has been playing up for a few weeks, I do believe in the psychosomatic connection of our bodies and our mental and emotional state. I also believe spiritually I am being shown that I need to move forward, move toward joy and life. It is time to let go of my martyr identity.
For her, for me and for the life that we have, not the one I had wished we had, had! 🙏🩷
