  • I was going to pop into the office on Saturday for my shift but unfortunately the trains going into Wellington were replaced with buses which unfortunately are always late so I decided I couldn’t be bothered in the end. What I am looking at doing is going in on Friday and Saturday, my fasting days,…

  • I was able to get a few things sorted out on Monday however on Tuesday (today) I’ll be heading off to mum’s for dinner along with picking up a few items from the supermarket – cleaning wipes for my computer because I want to avoid using traditional glass cleaners since they can cause damage to…

  • I got up this morning and decided to treat myself to a couple of lamb burgers – I prefer to have my bigger meal when I get up (basically my first meal is brunch) then my second meal I’ll have a berry smoothie made with low fat milk (I’m phasing out having Up and Go…

  • Went for a 10km walk on Saturday and then 14km on Sunday – I started off thinking that I’ll just do a 10km but I thought I might as well push the envelope and go for 14km. Yeah, I’ve got sore legs and I’m tired but I know in the morning I’ll feel a whole…

  • Went for a walk tonight and the air was a bit chilly but in a good way, big deep breaths of fresh air and feeling energised so I decided to go for a 10km walk and afterwards I felt really refreshed. As we move out of summer I like the cooler air – I prefer…

  • I finally got my act together and ordered the digital food scales which will make life a lot easier when measuring out food because at the moment I’m kind of eye balling it but I’d like something a bit more accurate so then I can keep track of my calories in a day. I ordered…

  • The weekend is here, I had my usual 8km power walk this evening and tomorrow I’ll be heading into town to purchase a pair of running shoes along with some casual shoes given that the ones I have are, well, falling to pieces. Things are progressing with my weight loss – clothes are looser and…
