Let's brush over the last 2 weeks. Clinical depression, side effects of starting drugs to treat it (cue much, much nausea and a 1kg weight loss), and a ski-trip that I probably wasn't really well enough to go on (big thanks to Mr Tuna for looking after me and taking me out skiing when I really wasn't feeling very confident). And away from home Christmas home-sickness.
Anyway, we got back last night, the drugs are starting to help, as did the break from home (I read 18 books in the 8 days we were away), and it's time to start to get back into the routine and try to do the things that I know will help me.
So, 12 hours after arriving home, I was en route to the swimming pool. I didn't have very high hopes for the session, which is good as they were well founded, but I was amazed by how much I enjoyed being back in the pool. It just feels so good! The skiing seems to have done my legs good as I was kicking well, arms less so, and not done much cardio for a bit so that will take a little while to build back up again.
Mr Tuna is back at work tomorrow, so I hope for a swim and gym session to pass the time, before we cycle over to Stowe on NYD (40 mile round trip, weather dependent), and then back to work on Wednesday.
Tomorrow, I have an end of year round up and I've got more exciting things to post in the coming days and weeks!
Wow, 18 books in eight days is impressive! No wonder you're a librarian. :) This past week has been less than ideal in terms of workouts; I've completed my runs, but the hours at my local pool are so sporadic that I've been swimming only once (and the pool is closed today, tomorrow, and Tuesday--boo). After the new year, it will be much easier to workout on a regular basis when things return to normal.
