So I'm still sitting round like a slob so I feel I ought to put some self-justification explanation down.
I believe I'm still improving but it's not that fast. We've had bad, rainy weather which doesn't really help - it gets onto my lungs and also stops me walking to work easily. Some of the good days I instead devoted time and energy to a job application; it was mostly painless this time which I found inspiring but again got in the way of exercise. Then there was a team away day for work, which we never get so I was detirmined to go on. Unfortunately, despite taking off the days before and after the tiredness only started kicking in at the end of the day after. I'm very glad I went, but it did take a week or so out of my long recovery and the tiredness involved combined with damp phlegm left me in a cycle of tiredness that took two osteopath treatments to recover from.
On the other hand, getting addicted to a mmorpg temporarily and having too-late nights wasn't particularly sensible and if I had cleared my lungs out earlier it would have helped. I'm in the middle of a 4 day party-fest which is also probably not too good.
The good news is I actually feel up to resuming Tai Chi now, even if I haven't quite got down to it properly. My understanding of my condition in the terms of Chinese Medicine is also improving still which I like - despite horrible phlegm I didn't take my anti-heat herbs which felt like a gamble but proved correct. Unfortunately, I can't remember which formula is for damp phlegm. I'll have to ask on Thursday.
Despite all the self-justifaction above, I still feel lazy or at least undisciplined. I don't think I will ever actually know the truth of it.
