A couple of weeks ago now I lost my dog. He was 14 years old but it was still very sudden, one day he was fine and the next he was gone.

I have not taken the loss well. I have found that without him around the house is now very quiet and feels a lot more empty. I have felt very little motivation to do anything and I have spent a lot of time feeling rather sorry for myself.

Today however I have decided that I am going to stop doing this to myself and start trying to do more again. Hopefully, this will help to improve my mood a bit as well but if nothing else at least I will get more done.

I don’t feel up to running yet (especially because of the bad weather here at the moment) but I am hoping that I will start to feel better soon.

Despite this I am still doing well with my food and managing to lose some weight, this is something to be thankful for at least.
