    Well done on identifying the triggers for your headaches. 
    Rye bread is the best way to go if you do have any bread. It will feel you up and you won't need as much.
    Like you I am feeling the need to mix with people again. The time will come, not long now. You are doing great :smile:

    You're making great progress :)

  • Well , I'm still plodding along with the usual stuff going on and am having mixed reactions in  my well-being ..
    Yes, I'm still waking up in the early hours and feeling groggy for sometime after getting out of bed 🛏. at my usual time . Yesterday for example , blazing sunshine 🌞 but I stayed in feeling lethargic etc . 
    On Monday , I went for a walk🐾 around the usual territory and my legs were much lighter.I wasn't breathless and this seems like a sign that things may be going in the right direction due to my new food angle .🥖🍊. 
    I had another great session with mr trainer 🏋️‍♀️yesterday ,and we discussed my big reduction on bread 🥖and orange juice 🍊and the way forward.  I noticed over the last couple of days that I didn't feel heavy on my chest like I swallowed a couple of chairs 🪑🪑like I have done since lockdown . Yes , I'm obviously tubby but I mustn't be impatient and just carry on the way I am . Chocolate 🍫has been reduced an awful lot . Something that I'd never say . As I mentioned a while back , putting nesquik into a blender with double cream is more natural . The amount of chocolate 🍫ive been eating all my life has always been way too much . Over the last few years , I had loads of ice cream also 🍨. I suppose I'm beginning to realise finally I'm not 5 years old . 
    I had a toasted egg 🥚sandwich yesterday ,but that was the first bread for a week and I'm happy with that.  My headaches have stopped due to no more orange juice 🍊. So basically , after all the rubbish I've been ott on it will take a while but with discipline I can get back to where I should be by now . 
    Speaking of the video workouts with mr trainer 🏋️‍♀️, yesterday got off to a bad start. Only because of ...broadband ! We got there in the end ,  but my broadband hasn't been great over the last few weeks . I'm not going to moan about it for now, as I think that with lockdown everybody and their dog 🐕‍🦺have been using it and many I'm sure have the same issues . Ontop of that , Apple 🍏like to do fortnightly updates which are a pita also 

    4 years ago today , I got the keys to this flat. 🙀 I didn't move in until the last day of June due to getting new bathroom / kitchen/ carpets / bllinds etc .I'm nearly there with the decluttering .
    Once my friend is available ,  I'll know what's what . It's pointless trying to offload my old clothes until either the wardrobe is moved back into the music room or if I have to get a new one due to it possibly be strong enough to dismantle and relocate once again .
    I have a plan  which should tidy up the clutter once and for all . 
    I am a little bit late with the boiler safety check for my new Worcester boiler 🐈
    In the manual, I'm to have it signed ny reputable gas engineer annually to keep the 8 year guarantee . Trouble is ..Covid ! I may send Worcester an email advising them I'm still awaiting 2nd jab . Having said that , tomorrow I'm allowed to mix with other people again .
    I received my letter yesterday from mr. Hancock and Mr Jen Rick .

    I'll leave it there ..☁️
  • Happy Flat-versary, that went quick :)

    I'm loving all the emjoi's, are they easy to do.

    You'll get there with the training, just don't overdo it.

    I'm sure that the boiler people will understand that not everyone has got theirs done due to the covid situation.

    Yay to being able to mingle outside again x

    Thanks pmo2 😼
    we all know the frustrations had , when mse had that dreaded makeover last year . A complete pita . A few posters quit over it . I tried the emojis out , when the new makeover happened just to see if it would work . It's something I couldn't do on the old format .
    It's pretty much the same as using your smartphone 📲 / 💊tablet / iPad etc 👁
    I love the animals 🦊🐺🐰
    Hope this helps ..

    WOW 4 years ago you moved to the flat.  I've been reading of your inspirational adventures for well over 4 years then!

    Found you!  I'll be spending some time this afternoon catching up on your goings on.  Was lovely seeing your name pop up on my diary, thank you.
  • Thanks mrs p and m t 😼
    Not sure about inspirational . More rambling and stumbling than anything   😺. Everyone still here , has great patience . 
    Yesterday , I had day off of exercise 🏋️‍♀️. I was going to have another day off today , but after looking at the new program mr trainer 🏋️‍♀️ Has made I thought I'd best look and choose the second less daunting . The easiest one is stretch and prep which I can do any day . I decided to do get the stepper out and kill myself on that for about 20 mins 🥵
    Im happy enough to get that far , and once I get used to it , it means more progress. 
    In theory, the rest of the week should be manageable until Tuesdays live workout with mr trainer 🏋️‍♀️

    Yesterday I had a long phone call with one of my brothers .📞 The thing is, it was the usual very long phone call . I was struggling to keep up due to my condition and was stammering like Ozzy osbourne once again . I enjoyed talking to him , but I was worn out 
    I went to bed 🛏feeling rough, and woke up around 12.45 am . I managed to get back to sleep around 3.30 but when it was time to get up around 7.45 I could have stayed in bed 🛏but I don't do lie ins since I moved . 
    I purchased another musical gadget🎹🎼 , which although expensive was obtained on fleabay and will be paid for when my next credit card statement arrives . It's a combination of lockdown , seeing nobody and something which more or less completes the setup I need for recording stuff .  Lots to learn , and  lots of experimentation . I may end up offloading a couple more bass guitars as and when but no rush just yet .  
    No walk today 🐾, due to feeling rough but I'll get back into a regular routine soon.
    I can meet up with local friend again , and I'd say that would probably be next week .
    I doubt if I'd want to go to the pubs just yet , as it's probably best to let things die down after the over excitement first if that makes sense. Coffee in the park would probabky be best to start with ☕️ 
    I'll leave it there ...🌤

    Wow 4 years AC! And I was reading along from the first diary, no wonder I feel I know you (a bit)
    I hope you feel less rough today?
    You reminded me how much the new version of diaries annoyed me and you said I will get used to it. Guess what? I have :)

  • Thanks DIA 😼 
    much better today . I did some exercise this morning 🏋️‍♀️.  
    I still prefer the old mse format , but then again I couldn't do the emojis 🐺🐈🐰if they didn't give the site a makeover . 
    Blazing sunshine 🌞 even now . I stayed in , as most shops are closed . I did record stuff on soundcloud .  I had another long phonecall with my brother📞. Trying to help him connect to the internet . Long story . He has to phone Vodafone in the end, and I'm waiting to hear how he gets on . 
    With the sun being out on a bank holiday weekend , I have to b wary of the druggies upstairs . Will they start performing again , or will they carry on as they are at 5he moment? The sun 🌞 affects the nutters , so I have to be on guard . Other than that , not much to worry about .
    I'll leave it there ...
