Thank you for all your support. It really, really helps a lot.
I went to bed very tired physically last night and woke up equally tired. I did have a bonanza sleep as the alarm didn't go off and my children are so well trained that they left me to sleep. So I feel a lot better for it. Not quite a goddess yet, but had my 10-year old take some more photos and they are much better. I think they may be better though because my mental state is better.
Skipping was very, very hard today. Hadn't read about Mu Shin before I skipped and realise that I stress about the actual skipping, and I look down. Definitely not an empty mind. I would be thrown out of Zen school. Will practice tomorrow. But today whole body still very tired and very leaden. The skipping was in a word "arduous". Having something to eat and then will embark upon exercises. Dog walking later tonight. If I do it after dark then the dog speed walks. In the heat and in the sun there might be some sitting down in the shade involved which is not conducive to cardio.
Breakfast this morning was definitely eat to live rather than live to eat. Only pre-cooked veggies I had were green beans so I had 140g of green beans. Whilst a bit boring it was offset by the coconut muffins that I made yesterday and had for my carbs.
