There is no more fresh fruit in the house but advice from the Met Office is to stay indoors to avoid getting blown off the street by Storm Eunice. Thought I had an apple left over from a pack of 6 but I don’t, I already ate it, so it’s raisins this morning in the yogurt and amaranth – I sprinkled on some seed mix but it hasn’t helped. I shouldn’t complain – we have enough packet food in the kitchen to survive a small siege, and I’m perfectly capable of exercising indoors.
Evening update: I think I’d like my next challenge to be a 3-day movement diary. Gloji might be about to suggest that but I think if I do one now, it’ll show me some opportunities for improvement, like the food diary did.
I think I definitely get cues from my body when it hasn’t had enough exercise. If hunger feels like an emptiness, not having moved enough feels like a stickiness, a restless itch – I felt it loads at the start of the pandemic going from walking to and from work every day to working from home. I was definitely feeling it today. And like I feel better after eating, I feel better after moving.
I’m going to do a bit of internet research, by which I mean asking my friends on Facebook – what exercise do people like doing and how much time and prep does it take?
It’s 10pm now… if I get hungry and eat anything else before I go to bed, I’ll let you know.
(I stayed up till 2:45am, powered by a handful of pumpkin seeds and flaked almonds, both of these roasted by me several days ago and then put in a container… that is now empty!)

As I think you know, I like rowing, but I am not doing it at the moment, it is on my list to return to soon, for now, my exercise is tending to two gardens.
Gardening sounds excellent exercise.
I love exercise that is part of something one wants to do anyway! Sometimes I give myself a mini-mission as a reason to go for a walk 😊
