  • End of the first day back at work.

    Today was a good first day at work, nothing demanding, the usual customer enquiries but with customer’s probably still on holiday with the family things may not pick up until next week when people come back from their annual leave. Today mum was down at Kmart (yes, we still have them in New Zealand) and…

  • One more day to go.

    I’m back to work on Wednesday but in the mean time I’m savouring every moment until I have to get back to work. I’ve ordered some groceries online tonight for deliver tomorrow so that I have my pantry stocked for the coming fortnight so then I’m all ready. After ordering groceries I then went for…

  • End of the year draws near.

    Just before I head off to sleep, the end of the year draws near and I look back at what has happened throughout the year, I have to admit that personally I’ve had a good year getting closer to my health goals but that being said it hasn’t been a great year outside of that…

  • Happy Boxing Day.

    I decided to have a quiet time at home on Boxing Day after the excesses of Christmas Day – lots of food and sweets however it did feel a bit overwhelming so I’ve spent today at home unwinding, went for a quiet walk around the block a few times to get some fresh air once…

  • Getting closer to Christmas.

    I went for an 11.6km walk tonight and the weather wasn’t too bad tonight – a nice breeze, a reasonable temperature and not too many crazies out on the road. I arrived back home after 1 hour an 50 minutes, put the wheelie bin out to be picked up on Wednesday and unlike some of…

  • A good start to the week.

    Had a relaxing day at home, tidying up around the place, had a chat to mum about the work I’d like to do around the yard – funny how as soon as I mentioned that it started spitting outside. Well, it wasn’t enough to stop me from going for a walk so I went for…

  • End of the first week of my annual leave.

    End of the first week of my leave and one thing I am also looking at is getting some barbells to do some light weights when I am at home – when watching some television being able to get some reps in which will help to tone and define my arms (the walk I try…

  • Feeling good.

    I went down to the shops today to have a walk around, had aa coffee and a muffin, had a look at some of the specials and see if there was anything that looked interesting. I went for a good walk around along with walking down to Harvey Norman as well then back up to…

  • Let the annual leave begin.

    Finished work tonight and it never felt so good knowing that for the next two weeks off I have no responsibilities other than to take care of myself. I put the first load of washing on then went for a relaxing walk tonight around the block, came back, put the washing out, had a shower,…

  • Two days to go.

    It is so close to the end of the week, I can hardly wait for my annual leave to begin. Tonight I had a small walk then had a lite meal of some fresh ciabatta bread and a vegetarian Mexican style chilli that has lots of fibre and protein which left me satisfied but not…
