Forgive me bloggers for I have sinned; it has been 11-weeks since my last confession….
But, oh! what an 11-weeks it has been!
My last post on here was 21st March; in which I was suffering a mild setback from “doing a lot”. To say that my last bout of “doing a lot” will knock my previous record out the water will be an understatement… Continue reading
I have mentioned before that a HUGE tool in the kit of dealing with CFS is positivity. On days like today it is difficult to remain positive in the face of disappointments. This is how I try to turn my disappointments into positive reinforcements Continue reading
Forgive me friends it has been 66 days since my last blog.
Going back to my last blog, on 7th Jan, I was 7-days into the Fast Diet (or 5:2 Diet) and was feeling superb. Fast forward to today and I am only just finding time to sit down and update you all on my progress. Continue reading
This year, in my ongoing efforts to loose the weight I gained during my battles with Glandular Fever in the 90’s, Post Viral Fatigue in the naughties and eventually Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in the naughties/”210’s” I have started following the “Fast Diet”, alternatively known as the “5:2” diet.

Hello old friend, how’ve you been. I’ve missed you whilst you’ve been gone.
I’m talking about that good kind of tired you get from when you’ve done an awful lot of exercise, camping, staying up late, cooking, organising, partying and playing and your body just wants to get horizontal for a good long stretch (on a decent bed) and recover its reserves. Continue reading

A slightly longer than anticipated gap between this and my last post – G.E.T. Started – as work and ‘life’ have intervened during that time to keep me incredibly busy. However, this experience has brought into focus one of my next topics: ‘Wants and Needs’. I will get to these in more detail in my next post but first we need to revisit our activity log and talk about next steps.
Average is your friend Continue reading
My planned series on my experience, hints and tips on Graded Exercise Therapy (GET, also known as GAT, Graded Activity Therapy) has been somewhat delayed: I have been meaning to post for days but life has been getting in the way.
In the meantime, check out this page at Action for ME which has some resources, research and articles on GET to start with.
I hope to get my first post in this series, together with an update of what has been keeping me away, up at the weekend.
Snapshots of my Gibraltar Holiday
Slightly later than “tomorrow” but better late than never for the second instalment of my holiday fun. Continue reading
Snapshots of my Gibraltar Holiday
Nearly a week after I left, I am finally writing up about my holiday! This last week back has been a bit of a whirlwind with unpacking (finally finished that this morning), enjoying the bank holiday and catching up on work for my clients, which was not nearly as bad thanks to the wonderful Rosie at Wise Owl Admin covering one of my clients whilst I was away.

Get up. Dress up. Turn up.
