Okay, so it’s been a little while. I figured I’d update anyone who cares why that’s the case.

Believe me when I say I have STRUGGLED with this whole lockdown thing. I’m in Wales which still has some of the strictest lockdown restrictions in the UK. Don’t get me wrong - I’m grateful they’re doing it right here. The ‘R’ and number of cases is showing that they are. But it’s not easy.

My job is about 70% travel. I spend more time on planes than I do in my car, and I’m used to sleeping in hotel rooms more than my own. And I love that. It shouldn’t be hard to be at home, but it really has been. I feel so claustrophobic I can’t even explain and this whole ‘you can’t drive more than 5 miles from your home’ thing just amplifies that. I miss my family - I haven’t seen my dad since we were in the US in December, I haven’t seen my mum or brother since March, and I feel super alone here. I see my flatmate, that’s it. I don’t feel like my life is here - kinda realising that In spending so much time away, I’ve kind of forgotten to build a real life at home. I plan on fixing that.

Work’s been crazy. I’m lucky to still have a job, but I’m the only one left in the team so I’m working a billion hours 6 days a week and I am TIRED. And stressed. And just overwhelmed really. But I’ve been getting better.

Today’s a good day and I’m focussing on the good - I’ve lost 18lbs in the last 90 days and I feel amazing for that. I’m started using Huel a few weeks ago (check out the tee!) and feel really good for it - I’m not snacking, I know my intake is balanced and just feel healthier in general. I’m not one for selfies but figured I’d go for it today.

Also, I just cut my own hair (yeah) and didn’t entirely screw it up. So... small victories.

Anyway, if anyone needs it, I’m here to talk. It’s rough and it fucking sucks but we’ll get through all of this and come out stronger 💪 and in the meantime... I promise not to disappear again!

Stay safe, peace.

I weighed myself today and so far have dropped 4lb since the start of the lockdown. BOOM. I’m amazed because I was convinced I’d have gained, but I’m at the lightest I’ve been in a long time. So feeling awesome.

On top of that, at the age of 27 years old, I have finally cooked rice (that doesn’t come out of a microwave packet) successfully for the first time. Don’t ask.

Celebrate every tiny victory and stay safe!

You may water others’ roots, but don’t forget to water your own as well. You deserve to bloom just as much as anyone else.

Nothing worse than a crap run. Got 2k in and suddenly felt like my heart was about to explode out of my chest? Wtf. Decided to walk for a bit then pick the pace back up but it happened again almost immediately. Not really sure what’s going on with that so decided to play it safe and stop.

Headed out for 5k minimum today so really disappointed that I had to cut it short after just 2.4k. UGH.

I’m struggling.

This whole coronavirus thing is really hard. Like, I don’t mind staying in - we’re still allowed out to exercise, so I’ve started running again as the gyms are closed. But I’m hundreds of miles from my family, and concerned about them. My job isn’t exactly safe right now. And with all of our events cancelled, it looks like I’m home until September. For the last 4 years, I’ve been used to spending every other week flying between different cities and seeing different people and that’s my lifestyle. It’s what I’ve gotten used to. And now I’m in one place, and it’s only been a few weeks but I’m struggling. Too much is uncertain, and I don’t even feel like I know how to just be in one place. As stupid as that sounds. My lifestyle has completely changed and I’m not adapting well to it.

I just need something solid right now. I know I’ll be fine, but everything’s just kind of a lot. This isn’t a cry for help, I don’t even really want to talk about anything. Just wanted to get it out somewhere and this is as good a place as any.
