Day 1

It’s Tuesday – my busiest day at work, client-wise – so I don’t manage to make it into the gym even though I tried to schedule it in my diary.

I end up working late, so I have dinner around 9:30pm – salmon stir fry and rice with a square of dark chocolate. I always feel energised by work and love what I do, so it takes me a while to switch off after a busy day.

After watching a bit of trash TV and some news headlines, my partner and I head to bed around 10:30pm. I switch off the radio just before 11pm.

Day 2

I have a little boy who is four and has a lot of additional needs, and he’s been coming into our bed for the last 18 months/two years. He is getting better though, and will sometimes sleep through – this morning, he came in at 6am, and I got up with him.

Once we’re up, I make him his breakfast and make myself a smoothie (my usual breakfast). I also have a coffee and a glass of water.
