    had my final uni results on Thursday. Very pleased with myself as I can now go back to do my master's degree. So happy on that front. Walking is going well, got to keep it up. I do have to admit that I am struggling with loneliness somewhat.

    I don't get it!! But I like it. After the first walk I was buzzing. The second one made me a bit tired. A few hours later I went for a third. The third didn't go as planned, my body decided it didn't really want to keep going. What I did do was go for a short wander down by the side of the river...

    Things are getting better thank you. I don't think I could make weight loss my focus whilst dealing with depression, which has no doubt held me back greatly. I am going to try to simply live a healthier life. In time that will probably work better than any "diet" for me. More exercise.
