I'm also trying to get a bit healthier. Mainly becuase I'm fed up of feeling like absolute shit all the time and it can't ALL be related to my other issues.
But the problem is I have no idea what I'm trying to do lol. I'm not fussed about weight, but I cant lose anymore lol, I do want more strength and stamina though. As well as not feeling tired/lethargic/fuzzy/lightheaded/sick all the time. I wont be going to a gym, I would if I was the only one there....but I just know it'd be full of CJ's haha...
So I've started with the diet -
Changed white bread for 50/50 or wholemeal
Changed pasta for brown pasta
Have breakfast biscuits with toast in the morning...but I havent seen the 4 hours of energy they're supposed to give lol!
Trying to reduce sugar intake - was noticing if I had a lot of sugar (two cupcakes or two cookies for example) I was getting bad effects the day after. So I changed cakes/biscuits for healthier options like oat+honey bars etc...even alpen light bars as they were on offer this week, look like a right woofter buying alpen light bars, breakfast biscuits and 50/50 bread though.
Also making sure I have veg everyday, even if its just a handful of sweetcorn or whatever.
I only drink water/squash (no added sugar one) so cant really change anything there.
I've gotta say, something I've done has, erm, 'firmed up' (sorry), however the frequency and urgency still remain which 'could' be due to stress still - its very noticeable when I have to do something I'm anxious about. BUT, I still feel just as bad in my head, possibly worse infact, with the headfuzz and inability to concentrate etc, plus my guts are still constantly on the move. And I have pretty much no stamina at all. I cut Nans grass yesterday (20 mins work) and had to sit down after for 15 mins before doing anything else as I felt awful and didnt even have the strength to lift the mower at that point. And thats what really annoys me tbh, I should be able to do things for longer than my Nan!
Also I tried gluten free for a week, felt even worse! I think its because they seem to just fill the GF stuff with sugar to overcome the fact it doesn't taste that great. Anyway, gave up on the GF idea.
As for excersize, although it seems like Im on here a lot, I do spend a lot of time 'working' outside, whether thats on the cars, sorting the garage/storgae unit, gardening etc and I'd say I probably do get quite a bit of excersize through a week. Although obviously I spend alot of time sitting in the car as well lol.
So, any ideas on what I'm doing wrong/right or what I should try next?
