I am so glad that I took this extra week off to recover - I am still jet lagged! We have been home now for 6 days and I still feel like crap. By the second day I was back to normal sleeping habits, and I'm sleeping like a log each night (having some crazy dreams too) but I still feel like my feet are made of concrete, I feel like I have no strength. I go through short bursts of energy, but the rest of the time I feel so fatigued that all I can manage is to sit and read or watch the tennis.
Yesterday we went out for about 2 hours, but we had to cut it short and come home, because I could barely manage all the walking/climbing in and out of the car/climbing stairs etc.
The bad news is that I have put on about 4 kgs in 5 weeks. I read in a medical book that a diet rich in carbohydrates will help the body to combat jet lag, so I have been having carbs with every meal. I dont know if it is helping or not!!! Anyway, next week I go back to work, so I'm planning on hitting the gym from Monday too - as long as I feel up to it that is. Fingers crossed!
Here's a couple more photos from the trip - I have about 500 to choose from!

Hi Hilary,
Those pictures are gorgeous!
I hope that the jet lag subsides soon. I am sure that once you are back in a routine things will settle down.
Don't worry about the extra kilos, they will fall off once you are back in the work/ gym/ eating good routine. Don't stress. Sometimes it is nice to just enjoy yourself :)
Well have a lovely weekend
Rebecca

Hi Hilary, don't worry I was the same after my trip to Austria and Germany in only 2 weeks I piled on the kilos but its not every day you get to travel to amazing places. Don't worry give it a month of healthy eating and exercise and you should be feeling great again. Your pics are great, its so good to look back over them and remember your holidays! Hope you had a great Australia day! Hilds
