  • A good day at work.

    Finished work tonight and the weather was looking pretty lousy so I decided to settle down with a bowl of pumpkin soup and fresh ciabatta bread with garlic butter and chilli flakes. It was a tasty dinner and filling then I finished it off with some blueberries for desert. I’m looking forward to my weekend…

  • A good work out tonight.

    Finished work tonight and I was keeping my eye on the weather the whole day and it was just my luck that the weather all fined up tonight so that I was able to go for my nightly walk. I’m in a calorie deficit so the body has to work harder to access that stored…

  • An okay day today.

    Started work today, had a one on one to discuss the new year, a catch up on how things have been and organising the days I’ll come into the office now that the powers that be have decided hybrid working is now the ‘in thing’ to do. I’ll pop in on Wednesday and Thursday although…

  • The third day completed, one more day to go.

    One more day to go and then I’m on my weekend. This week has had a lot better vibe to it that last week and I’m unsure as to why other than I’ve gotten into a good routine outside of work which maybe makes me feel a lot better when I am at work. I…

  • The third day completed, feeling good.

    I’m on my third day and stuck to my plan for the day and I have to admit the lazy side of my is, “oh god, do I have to keep doing this” but I know that after I’ve done this for a month that it’ll become something that I do without even thinking about…

  • Feeling good so far.

    At the half way point of my shift but I am feeling good – third day of getting back on track. I have to admit, the first few days were pretty difficult but on the third day I’m feeling pretty good and I’m sure that as the days turn into weeks and weeks turn into…

  • The second day completed, feeling good.

    It’s the end of the second day of getting back on track again – I stuck to my diet plan today, did some free weights before work, on my breaks and after work, then I went for an 11.6km walk tonight and although there were a few drops of rain it quickly stopped. I was…

  • Keep your eye on the prize.

    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…

  • End of the first week back.

    End of the first week back at work after having Christmas off – finished work at 10pm, did some light weights during the day, went for a brief walk, picked up a few things from the store and headed back home. Relaxing in bed watching some tv series and seeing the whole Venezuela situation unfold.…

  • An uneventful day.

    Finished work tonight at 10pm, did some light weights and then went for my 11.6km walk. The one thing I love going for a walk late at night during summer is the temperature isn’t too hot or too cold so then it is possible to exercise without having to wear a sweatshirt while at the…
