Last week I realised that I was allowing the diabetes diagnosis to get the better of me - what with that and the split from the man it was no wonder I was depressed.
I've a few days off work so I decided that what I really needed was some pampering. I found that a local gym had a beauty therapy service so thought the ideal would be a full body massaage & facial & pedicure & whatever else I fancied.
I went to look round last week and ended up joining the gym - much to my surprise!
I've had the induction and they're starting things slowly with just walking on the treadmill & a bit of cycling. I've found out that the best exercise for diabetics is aerobic rather than anaerobic (ie running & weights). I've done a bit of swimming and just manage 2 lengths before feeling out of breath (asthma).
The nice thing is the spa pool which is massive and has different sections for different type of jet - it's a treat after the exercise bit.
And the massage - well that's booked for Saturday and it's the full works as I promised myself. Not cheap - but then I'm worth it!!!
