Yeah, so while Nicolas and I were supposed to be juicing, I would sneak off and raid my chocolate stash or cook up some fried rice with Spam. He would also raid my chocolate stash or ask the maid to fry up some chorizos and eggs.

When we had guests over, we ate. When it was poker night, we ate. When we were hungover, we ate.

So we weren’t really fasting. While we were drinking up a lot of vegetables and fruits, we were also eating a lot of junk that we normally wouldn’t have been eating had we not been trying to fast.

I hardly exercised too. These are the days that I went swimming:

• Last week: Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday
• This week: Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday

I’ve been incredibly lazy.

The truth is that I’m horizontal most of the time and only ever really get up when there is somewhere else I have to be.

Yesterday was insanely busy:

At noon, there was a children’s party. Then there was a wine tasting at Sagana. And then it was the re-opening of Bones’ Sports Bar at his new location. Which, of course, ended with pitchers of Jungle Juice and wild dancing at Tattoo, the jungle disco.

I really need to detox. I don’t want to see another lechon for a long time. (There were four this week.) And I just begged off from a party tonight because there’s another big one tomorrow night. I can’t believe I’m saying this but I want to stop drinking for a while. And I really want to stop smoking already.
