<strong>rest day<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Which feels slightly suspicious considering I only just started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But according to the programme \u2014 the programme that <em>I<\/em> wrote, may I remind you \u2014 today my body gets to recover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No gym.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No interval cardio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No torturing muscles that had peacefully remained dormant for several years until I rudely woke them up on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But I&#8217;ve also realised that having a rest day doesn&#8217;t mean completely abandoning the other disciplines I&#8217;m trying to put into place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, today I still ate well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Had some fruit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And had the same chicken and baby spinach salad from yesterday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Partly because it was actually really good&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And partly because that baby spinach needs to be finished before it becomes <strong>as limp as my legs were yesterday.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We&#8217;re reducing food waste here, people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Very responsible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Then the PCOS Fog Arrived<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\"

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today was also the day the brain fog and fatigue decided to make an appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although, in fairness, I don&#8217;t think I can blame PCOS entirely for this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I had approximately <strong>4.5 hours of sleep.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because Hubby and I somehow ended up sharing our bed with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3 children.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2 of our 4 dogs.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At some point during the night, I became vaguely aware that Hubby and I were each clinging to opposite edges of the mattress while the children and dogs occupied approximately 97% of the available sleeping surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p><mark style=\"background-color:#f78da7\" class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">Think Jack clinging to that door in <em>Titanic.<\/em><\/mark><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Except there were two Jacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And Rose was three children and two dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There was room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just apparently not for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The brain wasn&#8217;t exactly firing on all cylinders today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some cylinders weren&#8217;t firing at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;m not entirely convinced they were even installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">My Legs Have Forgiven Me<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The good news is that my legs are starting to feel somewhat normal again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They&#8217;re moving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They&#8217;re bending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Getting out of my office chair no longer requires a motivational speech and a carefully calculated launch angle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Progress!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Little do they know&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tomorrow is full-body day.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shhhhh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nobody tell them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s different from Day 1, obviously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But they&#8217;ll still be receiving some attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They&#8217;ve had their little break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tomorrow we renegotiate their employment contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Apparently, Healthy Food Doesn&#8217;t Have to Taste Like Sadness<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After work, Hubby and I walked to our local Spar to grab some supplies for supper and find a little more variety for my meals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And this is where I realised something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Having someone in your corner makes a massive difference.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hubby patiently stood there checking labels with me, pointing out better alternatives and helping me figure out combinations that didn&#8217;t require me to spend the next four weeks eating food that tastes like sadness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because that&#8217;s important to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I like food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like&#8230; <strong>really like food.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I don&#8217;t want to spend the next month staring sadly at a piece of boiled chicken and three lettuce leaves while pretending I&#8217;m having the time of my life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And thankfully, I don&#8217;t have to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But more importantly, throughout all of this, I&#8217;ve had someone next to me saying:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#8220;Babe, you can do this. It&#8217;s going to be hard, but I&#8217;m here. Take it day by day.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And that changes things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;ve started and stopped this journey so many times before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;ve been motivated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;ve lost motivation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;ve seen results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;ve plateaued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;ve thrown in the towel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But having someone beside you who understands what you&#8217;re trying to do \u2014 and reminds you why you&#8217;re doing it when your own brain isn&#8217;t cooperating \u2014 makes it feel a little less overwhelming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hubby Took Over Dinner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He also offered to make supper tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And instead of making something separate for me, he got the whole family involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tonight&#8217;s menu:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Air-fried chicken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Greek salad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Garlic bread.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I did not eat the garlic bread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I smelled the garlic bread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I watched the garlic bread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I may have formed an emotional connection with the garlic bread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But I did not eat the garlic bread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead, I sat there inhaling that glorious garlicky aroma while quietly reminding myself that I had made a choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Was I slightly sad about it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Did dinner still taste delicious?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was light, fresh and satisfying, and afterwards I didn&#8217;t feel overly full, uncomfortable or bloated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Which actually felt really good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still thinking about the garlic bread though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">And That&#8217;s About As Exciting As Day 3 Gets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I do apologise that today&#8217;s instalment isn&#8217;t quite as dramatic as yesterday&#8217;s treadmill betrayal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But it was a rest day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And after approximately one million:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#8220;Mommy, why does this happen?&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#8220;Mommy&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#8220;Mommy&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#8220;Daddy&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#8220;Why is the cucumber cut like that?&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#8220;Mommy&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#8220;DADDY!&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I think we can safely call it a night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>I thought we could.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because I&#8217;m currently lying in bed writing this, approximately an hour after bedtime, and I can still hear little voices having full-blown conversations elsewhere in the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apparently bedtime is merely a suggestion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Day 3: Done \u2764\ufe0f<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today left me a little more appreciative of having functioning legs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A little more appreciative of the man standing beside me checking nutritional labels in Spar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A LOT more appreciative of my bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And somehow, even more ready to tackle Day 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tomorrow we go full body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My legs don&#8217;t know yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Please don&#8217;t tell them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And I don&#8217;t think I even need to address the plank situation today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Obviously no planking occurred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was a <strong>rest day<\/strong>, people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Besides, my brain spent most of today being about as useful as a plank anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Surely that counts?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Day 3: Complete.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Legs: functioning again.<\/em><br><em>Brain: unavailable.<\/em><br><em>Garlic bread: deeply missed.<\/em><br><em>Children: apparently not sleeping.<\/em><br><em>Plank:
