Plodding onwards

the world seems to be going crazy just now. I dread seeing the news each morning. I am always first up and never put the tv on, trying to delay bad news.
So, a full week done of the blood sugar diet and I have lost 6lbs. Not bad. I never thought I could cope with drastically reducing my carb and sugar intake but I have done it and so far do not miss it. My portions have greatly reduced too but that may be because I am unwell. I have been unwell for a few days and have pushed myself to keep going. Today I went to see the doc. I have a chest infection!   On antibiotics for six days. I have been told to stay in the warm as there is a risk it could become pneumonia. I was also checked out for Zika as there have been two cases in Paris. All clear on that front thank goodness. Something else I discovered is my blood pressure was a little low where before doing this eating regime it was a little high. For now I feel very rough.
We have reduced our prices for the Gite in the hope it will bring some bookings. We are all worried at the lack of them. Probably due to the referendum and the illegal immigrants problem.
Daughter is now moving into the cave! Curtains are up and most of the furniture is in. It looks really good. Hubby dealt with the last bit of plumbing today. Next we have to do a few bits in the Gite before it goes out for rental on 12th March. Then we will crack on with finishing the other two Gites.
As always plenty to do here.

  1. I'm sorry you have been unwell. Being ill and having to still carry on with your usual projects and responsibilities can be exhausting as well as dangerous to your recovery. Take care of yourself!!

  2. Thanks Beth, am taking it easy as the doc said. It scared me when he said I was a step away from pneumonia. The antibiotics are beginning to work and I do feel lots better. Just very weak and no energy.
