This is a post I wrote especially for ProHealth’s Inspirational Corner and first appeared there a couple of months ago. I’m just starting to come out of a fairly substantial crash… again! Although I’m usually pretty good now, at staying within my energy envelope, I allowed myself to get complacent about my recent high energy levels and then … Read more

I went for a wonderful walk today. It was especially wonderful as it was the first ‘proper’ walk in the countryside that I’ve been able to manage for several weeks (if not a couple of months).

I just haven’t quite had enough energy to live at the level of productivity that I was living before I left Spain, but a part of me has still been wanting myself to. I’m fortunate now that I have … Read more
During my recent 3 months in Spain I experienced an amazing improvement in my health. Although I was very careful to continue with all the health supporting things that had got me there, I felt as though I could now function almost like a healthy person.
