More water!

 Thursday 9th May 2024

I've woke up with a headache this morning, I need to drink more water, especially now it's warmed up outside, yep, that's my challenge for the day ahead to drink plenty of water.

Last weeks challenge in our huddles was to aim to eat 20-30 different types of fruit and vegetables a week, that's not as easy as it sounds because we tend to eat the same things over and over.  There's a programme on Netflix about it, how it can help with the microbiome and bacteria in your stomach, go check it out, just type 'gut' in the search bar and it'll come up.  

I've been rubbish this week at it, I did really well last week, this was my list; 

Apple

Avocado 

Baked beans 

Banana

Black beans 

Carrot 

Celery

Corn on the cob

Cucumber 

Green beans 

Lettuce

Mushrooms

Onion

Peppers - yellow red and green 

Potatoes 

Salad leaves

Satsumas

Spinach

Sultanas 

Swede

Sweetcorn 

Tenderstem broccoli 

Tomato

This week, I haven't had barely any, we went away and that limited what we had because we ate out, let's see

Much better than I thought because I don't feel like I've eaten well this week, I'm back on it from this morning, trackers out, I'm ready for the day.  I'm looking at a recipe for Pasta Frittata, I might make that for dinner, it'll use up some of the bits in the fridge that are gonna walk out if not used!  Pasta frittata recipe - BBC Food I'll work out the calories later and we'll probably share it two ways, we shall see.  Easy, cheap meal though, which is what I need this week. 

Glass of water, 2 paracetamol and a mug of tea and my headache has gone thankfully!  Ready for the day now, I'm enjoying the chat this week in huddles, it's interesting to see how peoples brains work differently.

I need to get going, lots to do, not done physio again today, didn't do it yesterday either, my knee was in bits and my back sore, I'll let it calm down and get back to it tomorrow.  We did manage a 15 minute walk on treadmill whilst Aryn did his workout.  I will get there, slow and steady will win the race, I will walk this year, thinking about a knee brace to support it when we walk so it doesn't take so long to get over the walk.

Right, I'm off, ready for whatever today throws at me!  Let's do this...

Mwah, luv ya 

Love me x
