Well done Pix/WP. Pix - think about getting some black market calories burn. Why not do some body weight exercises? Go for a walk. Anything to give you a hand. womenshealthmag.com I have number 2. I rarely use is but it is good. |

I'd walk to the shop and back, via a detour that takes half an hour in total. According to my ''water man'' that works, together with sufficient water intake, 3 litres. I have an enforced rest day too, as the weather is atrocious and I overdid it on my shoulder yesterday, at my client. When I realised what I was doing was bad for my shoulder it was too late. Hardly slept at all as it hurts so much and I can't hold my phone so now on the laptop... I may go out for a slow walk with the poles though at some point, just to keep things moving. I find that when I don't move the arm/shoulder at all things get worse... may do some restorative (passive prolonged stretching) yoga for it as well... I am on my first pint of water of the day, with lemon juice from my own lemons and some turmeric and ginger for my shoulder. |

No, I was using a heavy hammer to ram some posts into the ground yesterday. This shoulder thing is work induced. I did three days of solid back to back, 6 hours pruning. The loppers and pruning saws and secateurs are all really good, but I should have known better to do these types of jobs back to back! Then just as it was getting better, I had to prune another big apple tree for a client, which aggravated it a bit again, then yesterday really buggered it up I should not even have tried, the client is very sweet, it could have waited another week or two... argh! Balance between sitting at home not earning or at least trying to do something...

Problem is, these are winter jobs and need to be done before March really. Then the weather is so awful, you cannot do them in winter. I have two more jobs to do this winter, but I am going to write to the client that it has to wait till the Autumn now, November time... then hope that it won't be as wet as it was now. This client is halfway up the hill, steep track through fields and my car doesn't cope in the mud. I have to walk up 2 miles, steep, muddy, carrying tools, which I decided not to do...

The weather is my biggest problem, sadly, and always messes up plans, schedules and reduces my working hours. In winter rather dramatically! I used to teach yoga to at least have some steady income, but since last March I haven't been allowed to teach so been having to do more gardening to make a living. I am grateful the work is there, but you do end up bunching too many heavy jobs into too few days and weekends, so no rest from it either. And then there is my own garden! I have one more apple tree left to prune...

It's not been an easy winter for gardening at all. It's gardening that sets of bits of my body with the grumbles - if we were doing the same movements as a workout we'd think about our form whilst we were doing it and have sets and rests etc. Once you get started on a job you just do it with no thought of how your body is moving. I'm declaring a whole 0.4lb lost for the week - but fat is down a % point consistently. SLow, so slow
