So, I have come to the end of the project.
Looking back it seems a long time ago now.
August 16th was the weekend after I got back from the Big Chill festie.
the sun was blazing hot through the long days of summer.
I was walking Mojo at 7.30 or 8 in the evening, wearing a T shirt.
Barbies in the garden, building a veggie bed, soaking up the evening sun.
Coughing , wheezing, anxious about the pains in my chest, feeling dizzy and heavy in my body.
Tired, foggy in the head and unable to concentrate. Migraines popping up regularly. and an expanding waistline.
Oh how I miss those days!
And today?
Today, the wind howled and the rain blasted down the street with a ferocity I have not witnessed in this country before.
I have seen rain like that in the Indian Monsoon and during powerful storms in South Africa but never in London. I spotted a break in the weather and quickly rushed out with Mojo at 3.10 pm and got back in the dark 1 hour later chilled and windswept.
On Saturday night I went to a party and then on to an all night Bash in south London. I kept going with a few nice strong cups of tea from the bar, got in at about 4am.
Yesterday I was pretty bushed, but today, day 100, I am clear in my head, although my neck is a bit stiff I am not suffering with aches and pains in my chest or anywhere else actually.
I feel calm, focused and more and more relaxed, in spite of huge challenges underway at the moment. I will be getting my cholesterol checked this week and hope to be able to report that I am much closer to a normal level.
I am also intending to purchase a small lightweight bench to do weights and strength training.
This will help me to maintain my core stability and build some more muscle mass.
I realized a few days ago, (on the 16th Nov) that I quit tobacco one year ago.
That useless drug has really seen the last of me, but the others, well I plan a glass of champers and maybe a lil puff of something to see how that feels tomorrow evening.
I will write a final entry for this project in a week when I have had some time to see how my behavior or cravings etc have changed...or not!
It has generally been very easy and I have actually enjoyed my 100 days of good decisions for the body.
Still working on my strategies for the affluence project but already I am putting out more energy there and seeing results.
Thanks for following me on this blog and thank you to everyone who has supported me through it. The help and enthusiasm from you all has been so useful and inspiring.
Much love, Much peace
