Structure, Structure and More Structure

Despite having a rough time when I was out this morning, overall, I have settled into a good pattern which is taking me forward.

My living is very clean and the worst aspect of it is probably the food that I am eating because I have to get as many simple calories in as I can.

I had a simple but useful find at the sandwich chain Pret a Manger.  They sell little pots of chocolate mousse and, despite their diminutive size, I had a feeling that they packed a calorific punch.  I checked on "t'internet" and at 500 calories they really do because they are no bigger than a small pot of yoghurt.  They are exceptional rich and a pathway to a heart attack, but they are a useful snack to add to the armoury and I have been told by the hospital to concentrate on the calories and forget the normal dietary rules for the time being.

A few people have queried me making the journey into work so frequently, but not only is it better for me to be in the office for the current section of work that I am doing but I get useful exercise walking to and fro.  As part of the walk I am now doing my mantra exercises again, which apart from anything else have an exercise benefit from the regulation of the breathing.  It is worthwhile remembering that I am not getting much exercise at the moment. This is not because I don't want to but I have to be careful not to overdo it and I can't really afford to burn the extra calories etiher.

All said and done I feel sure that going to work is better for me than sitting on the sofa feeling sorry for myself (although that does have its attractions!)

  1. YES! Definitely better at work than lounging on my sofa!

    As for mantras, I am a firm believer that if you practice them often and at the right times then they really do work.

    I am a prime example - in my youth I had my own mantra -
    "I must I must improve my bust; the bigger the better, the tighter the sweater"

    I don't know if you'll agree but I think it worked :)
