  • Back without making it up

    Huw16 Oct 2025tired but good energy 2

    This week: Grip strength has gone off and I noticed it opening a jar before I noticed it anywhere else. Back to loading properly. Kept the two sessions that matter…

  • The list on the fridge

    Juniper16 Oct 2025steady energy 4

    Right. Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I have reached the limits of both. Was undereating without realising. The nurse asked a plain question about what…

  • Walking

    Kai16 Oct 2025tired but good energy 2

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. Two sessions this week, both short, both done. Ren keeps saying that two a week for two years beats a perfect programme…

  • Quiet

    Maeve16 Oct 2025fine energy 1

    Right. Steady. That is the whole entry. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Tomorrow, honestly.

  • An unremarkable week

    Nuala16 Oct 2025fine energy 2

    No news. The dog is well, the weather has been foul, and I have taken my medication on the correct day for the eleventh week running. Nothing to report. Writing it…

  • What is your secret

    Espe15 Oct 2025loved energy 2turning point

    Sunday lunch at my grandmother's. Small plate, long afternoon, no drama, and she was happy. Late Spanish dinners with a small appetite. My mother cooks. That is how…

  • Eight minutes and a chair

    Minnie15 Oct 2025tired but good energy 5

    This week: Eight minutes and a chair. That is the whole programme. Tuesday and Friday. I have done it for eleven weeks. Grip strength has gone off and I noticed it…

  • Off the floor

    Ossian15 Oct 2025quietly delighted energy 1

    Short one tonight. Sat on the floor and played for an hour, and then got up. That was the entire reason I started, and I have now done it. Full shift on my feet and…

  • A new bin and a plan

    Romy15 Oct 2025organised energy 4

    Late, and writing anyway. Small logistics win: worked out where the pen actually lives in a fridge shared with four other people and a toddler's yoghurts. Batch…

  • Sunday night, four lines

    Sadie15 Oct 2025held energy 3

    Quickly, before bed. My buddy noticed something in my journal before I did and asked me a very gentle question about it. Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing on a…

  • A new bin and a plan

    Espe14 Oct 2025organised energy 2

    Evening. Batch cooked on a good day for the bad days. Six labelled boxes in the freezer and a great deal of smugness. Two lines a day in a paper diary. Date, and one…

  • Walking

    Ronan14 Oct 2025tired but good energy 1

    Came back after a bad fortnight without trying to make up the lost ground, which is the thing that used to end it for me every time. Two sessions this week, both…

  • My mother cooks

    Tavia14 Oct 2025warm energy 3

    Evening. Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still working out what I want to say to that. Starters as a main course, permanently. No…

  • Two flights of stairs

    Thea14 Oct 2025quietly delighted energy 1

    Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning. Sat on the floor and played for an hour, and then got up. That was the entire reason I started, and I…

  • A different shape

    Tinuke14 Oct 2025rested energy 4

    Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced. Ten years of that mask. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot…

  • Both bags, one go

    Winnie14 Oct 2025pleased energy 3

    A gentle week, mostly. Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop me. That has not happened in about four years. Up the stairs at work twice without stopping at…

  • Somebody new

    Matt13 Oct 2025warm energy 4

    Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point. The facilitator stopped the room when four of us were…

  • She stopped the room

    Carl13 Oct 2025warm energy 4

    This week: Went for the practical answers and stayed for the company, which I gather is what everybody does. Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven…

  • Laces

    Juno13 Oct 2025quietly delighted energy 4turning point

    Sat on the floor and played for an hour, and then got up. That was the entire reason I started, and I have now done it. Cycled the Downs Link without stopping. Got…

  • Not a number

    Martha13 Oct 2025proud, quietly energy 3turning point

    A brief account of the week. I have been waiting to write this entry for about fourteen months. Swam in the sea at Myrtleville. Seventy words, all of them good. Not a…

  • Two lengths, badly

    Rilla13 Oct 2025grateful energy 4turning point

    Quick one. Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning. Full three-week rotation without her back going. Slept flat. Whole night. Flat. Chopper Tuesday.

  • Back without making it up

    Soraya13 Oct 2025tired but good energy 5

    Two sessions this week, both short, both done. Ren keeps saying that two a week for two years beats a perfect programme abandoned in March, and he is annoyingly…

  • An hour on the floor

    Bel12 Oct 2025quietly delighted energy 2

    Short one tonight. Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning. Walked into town and back, which I stopped doing years ago without ever deciding to…
