For my final St. Ouen post, I am sharing the murals and street art I discovered at the flea market and around the side streets. My favorite was a series of cartoon-colored murals which spruced up an abandoned lot, making it into an outdoor exhibit worthy of a museum or a gallery. Also, the elaborately painted metal gates on the closed stalls of the market were quite eye-catching.
On another note, I wanted to thank everyone so much who responded to my post about my cleanse. I appreciate all of you who were concerned and supportive and who wished me luck. It hasn't been all that bad and I have survived nicely, although I do miss my sweets, but I am not super craving them. I barely had any withdrawal symptoms like headaches and fatigue and feel good as ever. I was able to add in chicken and fish this week. The only disappointment has been only losing three measly pounds so far. Hopefully the weight will melt away in the coming 12 days.

I'm so proud of you for sticking to your ''cleanse''.
Three pounds lost is better than three pounds gained !
Keep up the good work, it'll get easier day by day and when it's over you'll be S-O-O-O proud of yourself.
Having lost some 30 kilos myself a couple of years ago
I know how tough it is to RESIST ... hang on !
