Petals diary

[aiminglow]

I don't want to post much here but the virus is really having a knock on effect on people close to us now . Job losses , college places for kids etc etc. People are getting disheartened. We need to get back up and back to normal asap.

Yes, I have been pretty busy - as it sounds you have been, too.
But the knock-on effects of COVID-19 - yes, they're pretty huge, all right, in a family-and-friends way (just in my family: one nephew and one niece with jobs gone, one family business just hanging on, one baby not seen by grandmother (or aunts etc, of course), one husband and wife split by a border...) but there's worse effects coming apparent in a much wider social way. We'll all have to keep supporting each other as much as we can, I guess. Best wishes especially for your children - it's a tough, tough time to be young.

Hopefully the new plan will help Petal. I hate hearing about job losses, it’s really stressful. Well done on eating well yesterday and going for your walk. You will be in a lot better place to support people if you support yourself first.

Thanks Amy and Em .
Really busy today . Was up and out super early .
wemt to SW and lost 1.5lb and also managed a hair cut .

Congratulations! Sounds like a successful week back on track - unless that haircut was before your weigh-in and very drastic

 

[Petal001]

It was after lol . I needed a bit of a boost today .

 

[Llama]

Isn't a haircut a wonderful thing? Wonder if I'll be allowed to have my next one in a couple of weeks...

 

[Petal001]

Hope so Lama . I had 3 inches cut off . I was only client in salon which was great

 

[Llama]

Even better.

Why is it somedays you wake up feeling you have a massive lump of lard stuck on your belly . Yep ok there is always a bit of lard there but oh my god today I feel 9 months pregnant . Think a bit of a detox needed for a day or too . Prob after my wee binge yesterday

 

[aiminglow]

Go easy on yourself! If you do detox, do it as luxuriously as you possibly can, because you're worth it!

 

[Llama]

If your body needs any kind of detox it´s plenty of water, a good sleep, and some decent fruit&veg. Given those things it´ll figure the rest out for itself.

I've just read over in Emily's diary that someone you know has tested positive to Covid-19. and again and sending you all the vibes for good health.

I had a patient in a while back who had had covid a couple of months before who had knee problems because she lost so much muscle mass. And she didn't even have a bad case.
