Ah, the end of the week and I decided to have a nice relaxing night in while the wind is blowing like crazy outside but while I’m inside I’ll do some free weights to burn a few calories and maybe some squats and other exercises. I’m looking forward to tomorrow because I’ll do some grocery shopping because I’ve gradually worked through some of the spare things in my fridge that I’ve been putting off from eating. The one thing I did have to day was the ‘Woolworths Tuna & Quinoa Asian Style’ (link) and it is really tasty and I’m going to buy a few more this week. These healthy meals that I can heat up when I an working from home are a big time savour and it also means that I’m getting a healthy and nutritious meal with minimum trouble (I only have 30 minutes for my lunch so I don’t want to spend hat time preparing and cooking thus leaving no time to enjoy the meal).

In terms of exercise, I think what I’m going to start doing is having a walk at least 5 days per week rather than every day – striking a balance between getting some exercise will still being able to enjoy life. I think the best days for that will be Sunday and Monday although I may go for a light walk on Monday during the day for example walking down to the supermarket which is around 4km from where I live so I still get some movement in for the day but at a leisurely pace. I thin the big focus I need is finding that moderate middle ground so that long term I have a sustainable routinely rather than going hell for leather, from one extreme to another but unable to keep it up for the long term.

It has been a week of doing free weights and I’m already experiencing positive results such as my arms are getting tighter and more defined. I used to do weights years ago with dad but it has been many years since I last did them but it is good how quickly I’ve been able to get back into a routine. As I’ve mentioned in the past, rather than setting aside time to do a whole lot of sets in one go I tend to do them when I have spare time such as watching a video on the television or waiting for the washing to finish.

What snack would you eat right now?

Rather than ‘would you eat right now’ I’ll answer as in ‘what snack am I eating right now’ and what I am eating is a Bumper Brownie (link). I love the Cookie Time cookies and the Bumper Bars but the Bumper Brownies are the best. The reason I love them is because the normal chocolate ones aren’t overly sweet, there is. a slight hint of bitterness because it is a darker chocolate which gives it a nice deep rich almost Belgium chocolate like taste, the white chocolate one has a nice creamy texture. I matched those up with an Avalanche Irish Coffee which made for the perfect after work relaxation.
