Day of Ugh!

I have to say that this day of rest has been horrible.

While I have stayed in bed for the entire day, it has not been my usual productive, enjoyable, relaxing, do what I want kind of day.

My sleep was restless during the night and I have felt weak, lethargic and tired, unmotivated and miserable all day.

I’ve had three naps and achieved nothing in between.

My nutrient intake started with a cup of warm lemon water followed by some delicious chicken broth, lots of filtered water, four slices of watermelon, half a coffee (to ease the headache from no caffeine all day) a green juice of cucumber, celery, baby spinach, apple, mint and coconut water. It will be chicken and salad for dinner.

I don’t feel like I overdid it during the week but my diet has been appalling for some months now and every muscle, joint, bone and organ is feeling old and painful.

Now that I’m running the shop on my own, I seriously have to show myself some love and take better care of my health. Riding my trike, rebounding and hooping will become my norm and making sure I fill my belly with nutrient rich food will be a priority.

How am I supposed to run health workshops and classes when I’m not healthy myself!?!? I need to practice what I preach and set an example.

Besides that, I just want to feel good again!

I have myself a journal where I will plan and record my dietary intake and exercise and how it makes me feel. I’ll monitor my health improvements and then brag about it here as it happens.

Meanwhile, I shall wipe this day for the big fat blah that it was and use it as a stepping stone to an improved diet and lifestyle choice.

I might just drag myself out of bed now and watch the footy with Adoring Husband Before I prepare dinner.

Before I sign off though, I have to announce that Vegan Chickie has just become engaged to her Prince of Perfection, with Chicklet’s excited blessing (and she helped choose the ring).

May their happiness, love and respect for each other continue to grow and may Vegan Chickie always swoon and feel weak in the knees when he enters the room.

I am so happy that they found each other and have become a loving, supportive family unit.

Now I’m outta here.

Nite all.
