Helen Pitt 5 Uestions

1. What exercise did you do yesterday?

I walked to Coogee headland and back. Walking daily kept me sane during COVID lockdowns. I aimed for 20,000 steps per day but earlier this year I broke my leg. As a result, my step count is now a little lower.

2. What did you eat today?

Coffee and cereal for breakfast, then cabbage rolls for lunch, tea and biscuits in the afternoon and a falafel roll for dinner.

3. What do you do to best look after your mental health?

Swim, sing and cycle. I am in a community choir. There is nothing like singing your lungs out each week to make you feel good about the world.

4. When did you last see a primary health professional?

In May for a check-up post leg break. I am booked for my annual check-up on January 5, 2023.

5. What are your health goals for the next month?

I want to buy a bike to start cycling again and get swimming daily as I used to pre leg break. Maybe ease off too on the post-Christmas alcohol.
