Finished work tonight and went for a 11km walk – decided to take the scenic route rather than the usual loop I normally take. One of the downsides of losing weight is that you feel the cold a lot more – I wore my hoodie to keep my warm and when I came back my legs and feet were sore but it was rewarding because I know that I’m feeling better knowing I did some exercise.

Out of curiosity after getting home I tried on a black vest that I couldn’t fit before – it appears that, as I’ve mentioned in the past, weight loss is a bit like Greek dance in that it starts off slow then gradually speeds up. When rains I take a night off but when there is good weather I like to take advantage of that good weather as much as possible. The 7 day forecast from the Metservice has fine weather so I’ll make up for the few days I couldn’t get some exercise.

The parcel didn’t arrive on Wednesday but then again there have been storms and a sudden increase in the number of parcels being sent around New Zealand – it appears it is taking around an extra day. Hopefully tomorrow the alarm on my computer will go off, I was lucky on Wednesday that I woke up and was able to clock in on time

I’ve been looking at some clothes, I’ve got plenty of hoodies and casual clothing but I really do need some more formal/professional clothing. Thank goodness it is possible to buy clothes from overseas – sure I have to pay GST when it arrives but I’m all good given that if it were available in New Zealand I’d be paying it anyway. When I make the purchase, which will probably towards the end of this year, beginning of next, I’ll upload some photos to you can seen the ensemble I’ll create.
