How has your hydration being?

Its pretty good , The importance of water intake is something I am aware off and I have incoperated 3 daily juices which cite various health benefits. I regularly hydrate during the day and have jumped on the coconut water train too

I have been doing mostly resistance training in the gym as dont feel energised enough to undertake the cardio however maybe the balance between the two isn't quite there.

I am a bit of a stress head , not helped by menopause and can fall in to depressive cycles if I am aware and do not feed my mind the right information - that in itself isn't always easy.

The cardio doesnt have to be crazy though you know. Even just doing 10mins at the end of your weights session will help. 

Walking quick on a running machine ie steady state cardio (LISS cardio) will honestly help. 

Google LISS cardio and the benefits 

yes I think I am going to re address the cardio - I was doing between 3-5km at a fairly fast pace but have fallen off with that.

Kind of put of as have been going in the mornings and theres one of those fellas who wont stop looking at you on the treadmill next to me .................its like a private joke between my partner and I who sits behind on a bike and monitors what he is doing - I'll go back to ignoring it and seeing it in the light hearted manner I should

True - I get the impression he may be a friend of his as he is always in there before its open properly in the morning

So once again set the alarm to go to the gym and failed ......................intention is to go when we finish work but we will see.

Need to get myself back in to the groove of it

Sister has been over to visit with my HRT so we went for a pub lunch and now I am bloated .................have chicken and mango curry in the slow cooker but doubt I will have any - most likely go for the butternut squash soup I made yesterday

MC has once again rained off - hes been out to the gym and the laundrette ( he is at least learning that winter washing takes co ordination) and did offer to take anything I had so I sent him with my fleece super king duvet cover as it will not spin out in my washing machine.

He is now back in his room after hovering around ....................I plan to ask NM if he has made things clear to him over the weekend but how he keeps hanging about and making small talk tells me he is waiting an oppurtunity.
I'm feigning being busy at work to close off any option to open a discussion with me.

I had hoped he would take the oppurtunity of no work to get down to the south coast early but it doesn't appear to be the case , I'm crossing everything that he is going this evening but don't want to prompt any such conversation.

This weekend will hopefully be fairly relaxed , planned the car mot tomorrow and a little shopping trip to primark with middle child , NM friend is coming over for the boxing tomorrow and then on sunday we have planned a very lazy stay in bed day although I have got a half price leg of lamb 

Have an amazon xmas alcohol shop coming today - a case of of 10 cider , beer , desperados , 16 coke zero , 16 pepsi max and some mango tango for just over £40 which seems pretty good going, We ourselves arent planning on drinking much and guests generally bring something but it nice to have something to offer just in case
