Day Six Of The Charles Lloyd 40 days

Getting The Energy Levels Back

The aged Moi up there, I used to have a baby face, which I was never happy about, but over the last seven years it went. Anyway enough of that, this time last year I was cycling five miles a day plus working long hours. This year it is just the brain that is working, so the body has to catch up. I joined @toneleisure in#Ivybridge last year and enjoy the swimming and some gym. Now I do the Aqua Fit as well which is good as you can work the body with out putting the body under stress. Plus there are not many men there, so it is a laugh. I also enjoy a good power walk, so made use of the sun yesterday and went for a good walk.

Anyway

After a fantastic morning and school run with the children, straight to work, the pressure is on to earn money from the new brand before it goes public. Mondays seem to make many people depressed and it seems to me a negative day. So I get on with paperwork and reserve phone calls for Tuesdays. I do chat with people that enjoy the day. Cheerful people you know who you are. 

The smoking thing is getting a little easier, it is just filling the habitual times with something else. Hence the pulses and the kitchen saga, The Meat ban for 40 days is filling that gap. I have mastered the baked bean, which I Find a tasty snack with some artisan bread. With the lack of fat in the diet I afford myself butter as well. Once cold after the bake I have jarred some up and I enjoy them as a dip.

OK crazy man enough of that and how about the drink; how is that? Well really I used to enjoy it as part of the daily routine before children and since then it has been an ever decreasing circle. Over Christmas and the passing of my father I was up to a bottle of scotch a day for a couple of weeks. Put the breaks on just after Christmas Day and it has just dropped off the menu since then.

So that is is red herring, back to smoking please. OK loving the dreams I am getting from the patch, last night I was hanging out with my All Time favorite Girl Friend. Nothing sexual, we were just doing our thing which was cool, we split over a decade ago but nothing we had done, life just tires out some relationships out. It was a good time in my life until the lights went out. So really this is how I need to look at the smoking. 

Enough said. I have got up early on day Seven as Margherita Taylor was doing The Early Breakfast show on@thisisheart and I wanted to listen before the Matt & Caroline Show on @heartsouthwest. Aqua Fit early and some Major Phone calls to make for the Brand. Have a great day and thank you for the read.
