I opted for my first ‘Rest Week’ on Vitality. Last week I did quite a bit of flying (Johannesburg, Amsterdam, Faro, back to Amsterdam, Paris and Johannesburg); I did a great deal of walking and I slept little (2 to 6 hours a night). I enjoyed every moment but it is not wise not giving oneself enough time to recover.

I returned to Johannesburg on Saturday and on Monday when I got out of bed I felt lousy, sickly, fatigued, no energy for anything, no appetite. Talking to a few friends who travel extensively they said that I had all the symptoms of  jet leg. I did not see a doctor but I think they were right.

I feel better today but exercise is something of no interest at this stage. Today I opted for the Vitality ‘Rest Week’. Vitality awarded me the full 900 points which is my target for the week (very nice of them, thank you Vitality👍🙏).

Takeaway: whether you travel for business or on holiday ensure you have nutritious meals, you exercise regularly and… get enough sleep🛌😴💤

Cheers,
