Sleepy Sunday

Day 179...

Today has been a pretty ordinary and quiet sort of Sunday.

The day started with my usual online grocery shop, updating it ready for collection tomorrow. Along with an online butchers order that will come later this week.

I have been watching some of my Ebay listings as a fair few finished over the course of the day which now means I have more items to package up and take to the post office.

We had a little catch-up with Molly sat outside enjoying the sunshine with a coffee. Her boyfriend has gone back home today so we were filling each other in on what we had all been up to the last couple of weeks while she had been away.

There were a couple more bags of unwanted clothes and shoes to drop off at our local hospice clothes bank as well as a courtesy stop by our other house to make sure all is well and pick up any relevant post, which there wasn't.

Another coffee outside in the sunshine to soak up some more vitamin D while I carried on reading some more of Dr Aseem Malhotra's 21 Day Immunity Plan explaining why sugar and carbohydrates are so bad for our health and how reducing or eliminating them can have profound affects to our metabolic health.

The afternoon...early evening...was rounded out with our usual Sunday Disney quiz hosted by the podcast I co-host (Disney Dream Girls). It was, as it always is, great fun and simply a pleasure to chat with like-minded individuals from around the world. Paul did an amazing job with his questions and although me and Molly only got 5 points we learnt loads of interesting Disney facts!

A quiet day before a very busy week ahead!

Stay safe out there, whatever you are up to. Keep you distance, wear a mask and take acre.

Last Day of the Working Week

Day 177...

And the end of my working week. And a steady day at work to round out the week.

Most of my focus today was doing all the prep work for three new starters that we have over the coming weeks that are additional to those already booked in to start.  

Once home it was get changed, grab a coffee and take a seat outside and enjoy a little sunshine that was late arriving today. I have started reading Dr Aseem Malhotra's book 'The 21 Day Immunity Plan' and so far it not only confirms what I have learned over the last few years but does so in a very simple and easy to understand manner. To read about his own mother's failing health and her untimely death only made me connect even more as my own mum was, in my opinion, taken too early and better advise and knowledge may have given her a better chance at living longer.

Too much sugar, too many carbohydrates, too many highly, ultra processed foods are all doing horrible damage to our health. If we want to be the best that we can be and be in the best possible health to fight off whatever infections or virus's may come our way then we need to take a good long look at how we look after our bodies. What we put into them and how we treat ourselves.

We need to put the right fuel inside; proteins and fats and forget the sugars and carbs. We need to appreciate the unnecessary stresses that we put ourselves through and recognise that taking the time to stop and evaluate can be so therapeutic. We need to put ourselves first, make sure that we are looking after ourselves as only then can we begin to look after others.

Then this evening saw the return of Molly from her time away at her boyfriends...so the house has suddenly got busy again after two weeks of relative quiet. And we now have a busy weekend ahead of us as we try to get the house ready for the installation of our new bedroom next week.

Take care out there, stay safe, keep your distance and wear a mask
