Today's grade: A+OK this challenge business is harder than I thought. Most weeks I end up having 2 or 3 days off, in the past week I've had just 1. It's pretty hard.
It's not a long term thing (generally it's a good idea to have some decent recovery time) but pushing myself to keep going to the gym is really testing my willpower. The odd thing is that when I think I'm the most tired; achey and unenergised I go to the gym and BAM... I'm on fire (in a good way). This past few days I've felt as though I'm pushing through a barrier to the next level of fitness and that's pretty great.
On another note I've been reading into producing your own Kefir. My hair has been falling out even more than normal (I'm a red head aka shed head - mass producer of long auburn hairs that get everywhere) and maybe it's age, but maybe it's also another issue. One key worry is that, with all this exercise, I'm not getting enough key vitamins and minerals; so I've been taking the odd (wholefood, organic, nasty-free) multivitamin. I also wanted to improve my absorption of v&m by adding a probiotic, hence the Kefir.
Kefir is a thick, fermented milk drink that is even more packed with good bacteria than natural yoghurt - and it tastes pretty yummy too (like runny yoghurt). After some research I discovered that it is super easy to make yourself, so I decided to turn my hand and have ordered some Kefir grains.

When investigating this I also came across info on how to make Kombucha; the fermented tea drink that is also tipped to be a superfood (er... superdrink) ..... aaand I may have got carried away and ordered the kit to make this also.

So, without even tasting it, I've managed to spend £30 on the kit required to make Kombucha. Oopsy! Lets hope I like the taste of it.
