Back to work on Wednesday which was uneventful although I had to catch up on a bit of news and changes that got released at the beginning of the week. The industry I am it is important to always stay up to day with changes inside the industry as well as any sort of legislative changes given that said industry has quite a few regulations that need to be followed – it certainly right up there with the banking sector when it comes to regulations and oversight by various government agencies.

After finishing work tonight I went for a 11.6km walk then came over, had some roasted seaweed as a snack then jumped into the shower to freshen up then clean my teeth all ready for bed. I’ve stuck to my diet reset today and I’m looking forward to getting through tomorrow – taking it one day at a time with my goal being to be below 100kg by the middle of this year. I’ve had a look in my closet and there are quite a few items I’d love to be able to fit into by the time I have my mid year time off in June when WWDC ’27 takes place.

There is a red hemp hoodie I purchase many years ago from Cosmic Corner in Wellington but I never got around to wearing it because it didn’t fit me when I bought it. Why did I buy it? I guess I had the horrible logic that it would serve as an incentive to lose weight but many years later it appears it didn’t work. At the moment I have made great progress and it is working to serve as a good incentive these days – I try it on once a week to see how thins are progressing and it does give me a boost of confidence seeing that it is starting to fit me better.

I think I’ve mentioned in the past that I find things like my clothes fitting better as a more useful barometer regarding how well I am progressing because it isn’t can abstract idea like weight but something you can see relative to where you were when you bought the clothes and comparing to now where it is fitting better. I’ve got some trousers that are size 36 and 38 although I may find that even with weight loss the cut of the trousers won’t work with my body time and if that is the case then I’ll either give it to my sister’s partner or I’ll donate it to an op-shop where someone will find a use for it.
