Use it or Lose it

Well, I’ve spent this week trying to fend off the awful cold that has been doing the rounds just about everywhere. The cold, on the other hand, has been doing its very best to put me out of action and has disturbed just about everything.

I haven’t been writing as much as I’d hoped to as I’ve been feeling so under the weather. I did manage to finish knitting a scarf yesterday, which is about my only achievement over the past few days.

Obviously, being bundled up on the sofa with hot drinks and tissues hasn’t been conducive to being the health conscious fitness fanatic I was hoping to be this year. I have, however, managed to start increasing the amount of vegetables I’m eating each day, although not fruit as yet.

Today, I headed off to the gym and spent the best part of an hour swimming laps at the pool. Not continuously, of course, as I’m very unfit but I still managed to do more than I had expected.

I’m feeling good after having managed to get some exercise – I always do – but still can’t shake this cold. Fingers crossed it’ll be gone by the weekend.
