back in the game again
Well, I am feeling back in the game again after a couple of days of feeling out of sorts. Not sick, just fed up for no reason.
Had a good day yesterday. I was first in the pool yesterday morning at 7am and felt really fantastic after my swim. I'm really glad that I have started swimming after my holiday, it's really different from the endless step classes and easy to fit in.
I then had to visit a man who makes traditional trade union banners so I walked to his workshop which took 45 minutes, part of which was through the park on such a lovely day. He was a smashing bloke as well, such an interesting life so I really enjoyed talking to him (he has made all the banners for the big Manchester Procession on the 5th July if you see it on the telly).
Headed up to Harrow in the evening to take a friend out for dinner who is on a placement at the hospital there. Although we did have three courses at Pizza Express it felt great. We chose nice, light courses, we ate really slowly and really enjoyed every mouthful. I can recommend their new pizza with salad in the middle and their frozen yogurt and strawberry desert - yum! And I didn't feel stuffed to bursting afterwards either.
I am definitely considering walking as my first option for getting around these days and I really don't think it's much slower than getting the bus / tube. It's certainly saving me some money as well.
Half way through, I would score myself:
drinking 2 liters water: 9/10
walking for 30 minutes: 10/10
eating slowly: 8/10
eating only when hungry: 7/10 (this one needs a careful eye on it)
giving yourself some credit: 7/10 (same)
shutting the duck up: 8/10
cutting down on sugar and stimulants: 6/10 (slipped up a bit on the sugar front recently)
regular exercise : 9/10
being as active as possible; 7/10
eating natural foods: 5/10 (I haven't even tried to tackle this one yet)
Well, better go, off to an employment tribunal. Have a great happy healthy day. Jess x
lovely to hear from you and well done for turning this round. Everyone has days when they feel out of sorts, it's just a question of how quickly you can turn things around.
Well done for being first in the pool
Take and good luck today

Glad you're feeling a bit more cheerful. Reading the blogs, there seems to be a lot of it about!
You sound as if you're doing really well, so keep it up.
Take good care.
