Personal Wellness Diary

From today, I’m starting with this Personal Wellness Diary that I was sent by Plus One Mums to assist with my good habits, with the #bloggestloser challenge.

It’s got pages for sleep, movement, nutrition, goals, posture and more. Let’s see how I go! It’s fairly big, but fortunately I have a large bag for it :)

I’ll let you know if it’s easy to use :)

Many sizes of mandarines

Mandarines are awesome.

As is alternating between eucalyptus and aloe vera tissues.

About to head back to Sydney after a weekend up in Newcastle. A weekend spent with family and friends, eating, drinking… talking and laughing, sniffling away with this damn cold!

Day 6 – The ever resourceful Liam, who now knows to drag things over so he can stand/climb on them to get to things.

Crashed out last night about 8:30pm, after lots of tissues and cold and flu tablets. Woke up at my alarm this morning, not wanting to move, but it’s only day 4, I ought to go to work and meet with my managers!!!

Doped up again on cold and flu tablets, I made it til 12…. then about 12:15 my senior looked at me and said “are you okay?” um no… a minute later my recess had been thrown up *sigh*. I’m sure it was a mix of the cold, the tablets and tiredness rather than anything like a tummy bug or food poisoning. Feeling “okay” now, just the running nose again. We’ll see!

Too Young

January 6, 2011 · 11 comments

Got news via text on Christmas Day, about 6pm, that my former workmate who was recently diagnosed with bowel cancer had passed away that morning in a hospital in Sydney.

She was 26.

I saw her less than 6 months ago, happy and healthy (looking), embarking on a new adventure on the South Coast with her fiancée. Starting a new job, new stage of life.

But she didn’t get to see the year out.

This is not a downer of a post. It’s just a reflective one.

Take care of yourself. Get things checked out if they don’t seem right. You still might not have a chance against your biology, but you might. Look after each other. Look after your mental health.

Plan for the future, and your future health, but enjoy now.

*hugs*
