  • The weekend has finally arrived.

    The weekend has finally arrived – on Monday I’ll be meeting my doctor to check my progress in terms of losing weight and getting myself healthy. I’ve already noticed that clothes that were fitting are loser, I’ve had to put extra holes in my belt, there were a pair of tracksuit pants that I couldn’t…

  • One more day to go.

    Just a short blog post tonight, I came back from my nightly power walk and sat down to watch ‘Real Time with Bill Maher’, I understand he isn’t everyone’s cup of tea but as my old man would say to me that it is important to listen to people that you don’t agree with –…

  • Getting things sorted.

    Working through getting ACC sorted out – long story short, on my time off injured my work was still paying me and I assumed that what was happening was that ACC was paying my employer and then my employer was paying me (I have never been on ACC before so this was the first time…

  • Almost the end to another week.

    End of a another day of work, went for for my daily 5.8km walk using the running shoes that I didn’t think I had and afterwards I felt so good. I was watching a video how exercising gives you more energy and that is what I’ve found with going for a walk every day –…

  • First day back at work, everything went well.

    Back at work today and everything went well – I’m finding that the regular exercise of walking 5.8km each night has really improved not just my health but also my mental health as well. I’ve been having a look around for a healthy substitute for soft drink so I’ve ordered a 24 pack of Remedy…

  • Monday was good, looking forward to Tuesday.

    Had a very tasty dinner tonight, Mexican salad with some lamb rump baked in the oven and came out absolutely perfect. I don’t want to sound like I’m boasting but I think I got cooking lamb down to an art for – everything else? well, that’s a hit or miss but I am getting better,…

  • The weekend has finally arrived.

    I got up today and worked from 11:30am to 8:00pm and nos I’ve got two days off. Tonight I went for a power walk – I was going to ‘take it easy’ but I’m one of these people that if I do something I”m either all in or I won’t do it at all, there…

  • Things are going well: Focused and positive outlook.

    I had work today from home where I’ve decided to set aside two days, Friday and Saturday, as my fasting days – not a complete absence of food but instead having a meal replacement for both breakfast and dinner. I thought I wouldn’t be able to get through it believing the hunger would become unbearable…

  • More lifestyle changes are in order.

    I’ve got the lifestyle change in terms of what I eat sorted out now I am focusing on fine tuning what I consume – my vice being Pepsi Max (and soft drink in general (the sugar free variety)) and although there are arguments for and against sugar free soft drinks I have found that I…

  • Grocery shopping and back to work on Wednesday.

    Headed down to the local Pak ‘n Save and did my fortnightly grocery shopping and I was quite surprised at the number of people down at the store, a lot more than I expected. Normally when people come back from the Christmas and New Years break there is a bit of an upsurge in spending…
