A bit of a bump in the road

Well, we all go through rough patches and I'm going through a doozy. Long term relationship is over but instead of hitting the chocolate I hit the road...cycling and walking like a demon. Unfortunately, I over did it and have been told not to do any exercise for at least two weeks...It's going to be hard because exercise produces good endorphins which lift your mood, plus I was feeling pretty good after losing 4kg. Now, I could feel sorry for myself and binge and wallow but I'm not going to...I'm going to be careful what I eat and do as much gentle exercise as possible...it may not be 'exercise' in the true sense of the word but you can burn calories by just standing more or getting up and walking every now and then...taking the stairs or going for a stroll at lunch time. I'm lucky because my girlfriends have been great and supportive. Now, I'm aware that some people feel isolated when their relationship ends and so I ask everyone, if you know or even just think someone is struggling or feeling alone, reach out to them...it will make them better and maybe even save a life but it will make you feel better too :) I invite people to post their own personal experiences and share so we can all help each other here. Until next time...be kind to yourselves - and others xx
