I have a day of recovery, following our shopping trip to Norwich yesterday. I sit quietly in the lounge of our little cottage and add a few items to my “To Do” list.
My wife and I plan to try following a ketogenic diet, following my research into the benefits for people with Parkinson’s for my vlog a couple of weeks ago – my wife doesn’t have Parkinson’s, but she wants to support me, wants to lose some weight (although she really doesn’t have any excess weight to lose) and it’s less hassle if we are both eating the same meals – so I spend some time this afternoon looking at recipes and foods that are recommended for the diet. When my wife gets home from work, we go shopping at Lidl in North Walsham, and stock up on keto-friendly groceries. We still have a few days work of non-keto food that we need to finish off, but at least we can gradually start getting used to the change in our diets. We will be abandoning the diet when we go away on holiday next month, but we will resume it on our return (there should be some excess weight to lose by then!).
My JustGiving campaign gets a bit of a boost this evening – someone makes a donation of £100. I’m gobsmacked at the generosity of people, and my friend (who I’m raising money for) is completely overwhelmed when I contact her to tell her.
