No change this week which is disappointing because my food intake has been greatly reduced due to my teeth hurting, I have suddenly become very sensitive to hot and cold foods which is something I have never experienced before. I bought some toothpaste for sensitive teeth (which I always thought was just a gimmick not ever having this problem before). It's not improved the situation so far but I am rather impatient and expect instant results. I think I need a magic wand 😉
I have also put so much effort into increasing my exercise a little even when my fibromyalgia pain has made it extremely difficult.
I have been persuaded to invested in an electric bike by my son. I always thought this was the hight of lazyness and could not see the point in them but I was so wrong. I live on a very steep hill and just getting to the car is like climbing Mount Everest, with all the effort but with the bike I get on just outside my front door and off I go. It is getting me out in the fresh air which is so good for my mental health let alone my physical wellbeing and although I am definitely not putting anyway near so much effort in I am putting some in and I am doing something which has to be a bonus.
I suppose I should be focusing on the positive and celebrate them and not having put any weight on is positive but I can't help feeling a little despondent 😢
