Feeling a bit poo

[Ruby8]

So, I am staying on track...just...but feeling lethargic and sort of lumpy! Is it because the nights are drawing in? Winter is coming.

I hate being negative, it's generally not my style at all.

Just feeling a bit poo....

you and me both, and also a lot of other people I know. It must be the change in the seasons? can't think of any other reason....

[Ruby8 in reply to Caz28]

Yes, I think it is that...ah well, what can we do?! I just feel like I have two personalities, a summer one and a winter one!!

I'm loving the heat, I always do, and plan a more casserole style menu too, different veg, too. When the weather changes, I think summer seems more carefree, less clothes and stuff too

I heard that about 5 percent of the population suffer from winter depression and another 5 percent feel less energetic from autumn to spring.

It is supposed to be related to the lack of daylight which affect the chemistry in our bodies.

I love summer the most, but I am not very affected by the change in seasons. I think going to bed at 10, getting enough sleep and exercise, and placing myself near a window when I work, makes a difference. But I am not sure. It is all so subtle.

thats interesting and those are all good things to do, I'm going to try and get outside as much as possible!

[Ruby8]

To be honest I am probably also being effected by other things going on in my life, but I do much prefer the summer to winter. I'll let go of summer and get into the new season in time I'm sure!

I'm definitely a spring and summer person too 😕 luckily I can still get out for a walk as in not working 😊

Food wise, I like soups and casseroles. I also LOVE Christmas and will soon start thinking about that, especially sewing and making which keeps me out of mischief (aka the fridge) on the long dark nights 😊 Lol 😂

It's the darkness I think. But on a positive note the trees are soon going to be glorious which will cheer us all up on our 10000 steps steps
