Earlier this year shortly after my first visitor to the tiny cottage left, I took part in a Detox trial for The Consumer Show, on our national station RTE, here in Ireland.  As I don’t have a T.V., had forgotten all about it and the week of deprivation back in early February, I was taken by surprise when this week a few people mentioned seeing me on television talking about coffee. Now with more than a little trepidation as the program is to be broadcast tomorrow evening, I am wondering just how it will turn out.  How will the pre detox and post detox conversations with the Presenter Ella seem.  What about the little pieces I was asked to record each day of the detox, how will those be used and edited.  Sure, it’ll be grand as we say in Ireland.  But will it asks the little voice in my head?  My inner-most fears of being teased are fast rising to the surface.  Will I look as round as I am in real life on the telly or even more rotund? Will whatever it was that I said make sense… Yes, taking part  seemed like a good idea at the time. A bit of fun. Well, there’s no going back.  Tomorrow we’ll all see what the final tests revealed and how it went in every respect.

Seriously, the big question is, having done the detox along with others, each of us testing different types of programs, having had blood and urine tests done before and after the 7 day program, did my program and anybody elses work? Was there a significant difference, or any difference.  How did we all feel doing it and afterwards.  What impact does a mere 7 day program have on one’s life. After tomorrow’s broadcast, I’ll add to this post… for now, have a ponder on your views on Detox programs… and I’ll reflect on what I learnt
