Off The Wagon With A Spare Tyre To Prove It

I would love nothing better to be able to say that since I last blogged (which has been AGES) that I have been an example of virtue.

I haven't.

In fact, not only have I fallen off the wagon before I have even started, I am carrying a significant spare tyre to match! A week ago it was my final week of term and final week of exams. On the Monday afternoon I bent down sliiightly...and got a twinge in my back. This was then followed by a cramp in my neck and pain in my leg. This week, my partner got sick. I'm still exhausted from the end of term, I'm stressed and I'm not sleeping because he is snoring because of being sick. Cue quick ready-meals and un-virtuous snacking. The stress of it all is enough to make a girl want to immerse herself in a tall caramel mocha and an apple and blueberry muffin.

But I'm ready to change. What I intend to do in the next two weeks is not do any major MAJOR tweaks, but I will be following the regime of supplements my naturopath suggested to me to give me more energy. Nothing too weird and wonderful, just vitamins and a few herbs to help my system clean itself out. No starving, no gimmicks. And I need to get back into exercise again so I will start with a daily walk.
