I'm doing 9 things
... but he was worse at sticking to it than me, and since I was doing it to support him, it became pretty pointless. It’s a pretty strict lifestyle diet, and unless you are doing it to save your life, it’s hard to keep it up. After DH lost about 15 kilos and his blood pressure came down, he stopped worrying so much. He’s a lot healthier than he was a year ago, so I guess that’s a good thing.

I hadn’t talked to my mother for … a couple of years? Anyway, we went to visit for Christmas. Our daughter got to meet her grandma. Way overdue, but I just couldn’t handle it before then. It’s not open communication quite yet, but it’s a start. They have since exchanged letters, and I’m happy for them. I’m not ready for another meeting. Mum pretty much ignored us, but she was nice to her granddaughter, so that’s a start.
It’s not a noble goal. It just makes me feel better when I get a bit of exercise every day. Since we moved to the new house, I have taken the bike to work every day. It’s not very pleasant when it’s raining or very hot, but then the train isn’t all that pleasant either.
