    I was craving orange juice today of all things.
    I really need to get my eating back on track.

    Funny how we crave food - our body’s way of telling us what we need.
    Enjoy your chanting tomorrow Beanie.
    Remember to rest up if your feeling tired - it’s not giving in. It’s looking after yourself :A
