OK. So let's deal with the tiredness


I am sooooooooooooooo tired nothing will shift the feeling of malaise!

I know that I have to exercise slowly at the beginning, the anaemia sees to that, but the CFS is making even the most simple of starts impossible. Again I prevaricate and avoid! I wouldn't mind but as an ex-fitness instructor with a Masters in exercise and health I do actually know what to do! Honest!

So, this physician is going to heal herself!!

Exercise will be easy: walking, using a tried and trusted timetable from Nina Barough


I will post my walks here and we shall see how that goes!

But I also need to consider the diet and CFS. So out goes
  • Alcohol
  • 2nd cup of coffee - one a day maximum
  • all artificial stuff, quite easy as I don't eat much ready made food or sweets etc
  • white flour in bread, pasta etc
In comes:
  • fruit and veggies
  • wholegrains
  • beans, nuts, seeds
  • Omega 3 fatty acids
  • water (OK red tea)
  • a general supplement
  • possibly the light box again!
Actually most of that can be done by going GI again!

So the pledge to myself is to actually do something.
Walk and shop GL tomorrow and get on track.

Also, find a short term target, about 8 - 12 weeks will do! THINK!!!!
