Hiya all, hope you are safe and well.
My apologies for the combined post. I’m struggling with a very weird mood at the moment, I’m not grumpy, I’m not down, I’m just, I don’t know, im just kind of nothingy at the moment.
I’m forcing myself to write this post, so I keep somewhat on track and not allowing myself to fall out of being accountable.
Don’t put of to tomorrow what can be done today….
This is what I was saying to myself last night, but I haven’t lived by it today.
Yesterday I didn’t get up for exercises, thinking I would do stuff during my lunch break. However I got a call from mum so I went to shop instead. Then I should have gone on a walk last night, but I spent time round mum’s instead. Then later in the evening my daughter came round.
Today was also not good. I should have got up and did exercises, I didn’t. I should have done exercises during lunch, instead I was disinfecting, I should be going for a walk, I’m not.
The reason for my visit to mum last night is because she called to say she had developed a cough, dry and tickily. I took medicine round to her, we stayed well apart, no physical contact. It’s very odd not being able to give my mum a kiss and hug.
This morning I called mum to see how she is, she now has a temperature. She has slept most of the day, so that’s good, and she seems quite well, so if this is the lurgy, hopefully this is as bad as it will get for her.
And in accordance with our government’s advise, this now means Paul and I are in self isolation. No signs of anything, just precautions.
As for the rest of my family, Amy’s anxiety is through the roof, Katie is fine, Chelle and hubby now working from home with two littlies running round. As for my in laws, they are being careful, but Gwen should be going for a hospital appointment tomorrow, just to check she’s still cancer free, but now might not go. She’ll take advise from hje hospital in the morning. My sister in law is now going to have to be at home with the three kids as schools are shut indefinitely, this is gonna be so hard on her financially.
A few weeks ago this virus was a news story, now it’s invading all our lives, in so many ways. I worry how our world will look in a few months.
Anyway, back to the point of the blog, a bit of my normality.
Sleep. Tuesday not too bad, Wednesday rubbish.
Exercise – not a scooby doo!
Fluid – teas, milk, water and 1x pepsi max, not enough water, too much tea. Not loads, I didn’t go mad on tea all of a sudden, just should have tried to swap a couple with water.
Day food – same on both days, 40g natural nuts, 60g dried fruits, 1 cheese portion, 1 hard boiled egg, salad.
Yesterday evening we had fish again, my fault, I prepped spuds instead of making spaghetti bolognese. Fish was with spuds and peas and sweetcorn. The fish was breaded rather than lightly dusted, the shops had run out of our usual.
We also had Greek yoghurt with seeds and honey.
Today was spag bol, with cheesy garlic bread. Not great, but a useful way to use up bread.
There we are then, my last two days.
I hope I get out of this slump soon!
Stay safe and healthy people.
Speak tomorrow.
Trying to lose!
