Gout!

So much for that last post about a "healthier life": I've got gout! The only thing I know about this is that one episode of Keeping Up Appearances where he has athletes foot, but Hyacinth says "say you have gout; it's the result of good living". Is that so?

My foot's been incredibly painful for the last two days, so I went to the Lymington hospital minor injuries unit, and right away the medic went "it's gout" and prescribed me some painkillers. I had to drive over to the Milford-on-sea hospital to pick it up, as they were the only place open at that time of the evening. But lets hope they start to work their magic soon. 

A Healthier Life

This month, I'm doing a fitness challenge at the gym. It's to teach me what a healthy diet really looks like. While I'm not quite the fussy eater I was as a little boy, I know my diet can be improved. This is teaching me exactly what's good, and what I should be eating less. I know I won't be able to nail it perfect every time, but if I have an ideal to strive towards it will certainly point me in the right direction.
