I have noticed a remarkable change over the last couple of weeks.
I have been incredibly busy finishing off the cage for our new furry family. I have been sewing fleece any chance I have, and doing the final alterations to the cage, making the run, all that sort of thing.
I noticed last week that I had lost a bit of weight as my jeans were getting rather tight and they have loosened up a bit. I haven't had the time or the inclination to graze naughties as I usually do - usually stress related. I have a lot of weight to lose - approximately a Kylie Minogue in weight - perhaps more!
Now we have the girls we have salad and lots of veggies in. we make them a lovely salad twice a day with fresh veggies and lettuce.
Well we may as well eat lots of veggies as well - they are in the fridge all the time now.
We only picked them up on Saturday but we have been eating very healthily since then - salad with every meal, and steamed or raw veggies.
My partner Charlie said tonight that they were a great addition to the family as they are very calming and good influences on the diet- we have spent hours watching them and tending to their every need - we have hardly watched the telly as they are far more entertaining.
I call them furry valium for their soothing effect - I have noticed I am a lot less stressed than usual. Charlie has multiple sclerosis, and the whole chronic illness thing can at times be extrememly stressful on everyone, including the kids.
I am so chilled that I haven't bitten my nails since Saturday, and I have done it for the last 42 years!
Blooming heck - these piggies have worked some miracles in our house this week, and they have only been here three days!
Has anyone else had a positive effect on their lifestyle from the piggies?
