Not started on the exercise yet, although yesterday I did go and support a friend run her half marathon which ironically and wonderfully she was doing for the mental health charity MIND. She ran 13.1 miles and I walked about 4 getting from point to point to cheer her on and I bet I feel worse this morning than she does. My knee hurts (it was bound to I guess) but I was exhausted last night, my legs were stiff, my back ached. That is ridiculous I have to do something about this.
The one positive thing is I have gone an entire week without snacking which for me is a huge achievement. To go into a petrol station and not come out with a coffee and sausage roll is huge. Maybe just maybe I can crack it this time, with the help of my blog.
Here’s next week.
Day: 1 May 2017
The Blog helps
It’s been a week since I decided to make this public, not that anyway will ever find it I am sure. Up to then it had just been a few sentences in a Word Document on my laptop.
I have to say I think it has helped, feeling like I have shared a few thoughts and difficult moments has helped me. Thinking about my entire situation in a way to be able to put things down in writing appears to be helping too. On the hole I have had a positive week.
There is a lot on Social media at the moment about Mental Health, a friend posted a great message he wanted people to copy and paste (I don’t do that) The Royal’s are trying to highlight it too. They are right and for society to flourish we need Mental Health to get out of the closet, but that is very easy for non effected people to say and bloody hard for those struggling.
