life good luck for interview
I have gastritis as an after effect of the bug, such a pain - feeling full really quickly and nausea after eating. Hopefully it will settle soon.

lifelongfrugaleer · 22/04/2023 09:25

Have you tried a probiotic Gen.

Gensola · 22/04/2023 09:26

life I think I’ll have to get some and maybe some kefir or something as it’s not really settling and it’s been about 4/5 days since the bug itself cleared

Thanks life 💜

Life...I did more weights and intervals on the rowing machine this weekend which worked well.

Gen lingering poorlyness is grim.

lifelongfrugaleer · 24/04/2023 07:26

I still haven’t got back yet, must try harder

Unescorted · 24/04/2023 19:04

You can do it life ... Reframe it as protected time for you. It is time to look after you. If anyone in your family asked for an hour of your time to do a favour you would drop everything to do whatever it is. You are just as important as they are.

I did another hard session on the rowing and cross machines. My best time ever on the "erghh". Made better by the chap next to me with correctile disfunction giving me a "pep talk" / "advice" as I started my warm up. Ha! To his 4 X 2:28 av 500 splits. Mine were 10 x 2:14.6/500m AVE with the quickest 2:06. He had really poor rowing form.

Bake sale at work knocked me off track today, not worth the calories either as I can do better myself
