Yesterday I was actually quite ill and I don’t really know whether it has anything to do with my exercise or not. It might just as well be a random cold.
Yesterday’s 5 a day were blackberries in my yoghurt, an apple, a cantaloupe melon and mushrooms with my pasta (makes 4). I didn’t meditate, because I had a very strong headache and my bad habit … well that’s not going well either. All in all not a very successful day, but considering that I was ill, it wasn’t too bad.
Today I had an apple, a banana, a large mandarin, half a cantaloupe melon (thanks to my house mate Miro for that) and some dried currants in my blinis – the currants probably don’t count towards my 5 a day though 
I didn’t exercise, because I’m ill and I probably won’t be able to meditate, because of my awful headache. There will always be setbacks, so I won’t give up!
Today I actually allowed myself a treat anyway: after all I’m ill and need to keep the spirits up. My treat was pasta with salmon – smoked & fried and I absolutely loved it. Food is ridiculously expensive in England compared to Germany (to be honest everything is way more expensive) and fish is about as expensive as it can get! Sometimes this kind of giving myself something absolutely unnecessary and special just is all it needs to improve your mood. Being ill makes me grumpy. Apart from that the kitchen was a mess and I spilled my yoghurt so I was even more grumpy. Then I had the salmon and since that I’m in a really good mood even though my brain feels like someone was playing football with it! Being nice to yourself is sometimes as important as being nice to other people!
