  • 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…

  • Another three days to go.

    Finished wok tonight at 10pm and then went for a walk – even if I don’t do the same amount every night my goal is to at least get out of the house to get some exercise after being inside all day. The weather has been wonderful for the last couple of days and there…

  • On a break, looking forward to the end of work.

    On my 30 minute break at the moment while watching some political videos on YouTube – I had John West Protein+ Tuna Roasted Tomato & Onion (link) along with a tub of yoghurt (link). Tonight I’ll go for a walk after work – it allows me to clear my head and have my brain reset…

  • Another 4 days to go.

    I was able to make it through the first day back at work – the end of the week is looking so close, I’m trying to keep it together until the end of the week. On Monday I’m going to pop up in for my 3 monthly HbA1c test – I’m not too sure how…

  • One week to go.

    Back to work on Wednesday and then in 5 days I’m finally off for 2 weeks – I’ve been looking forward to time off for the whole year and it is almost there. Tonight I went for a walk and the temperature outside was 18 degrees celsius – not too hot but warm enough to…

  • The day going well so far.

    Woke up this morning, had some protein ice coffee for breakfast and logged into my work computer – Microsoft Edge has released an update which updates Microsoft from 142 to 143 although that hasn’t updated the WebView that the new Microsoft Outlook depends on. The weather is nice outside so I’ve got the windows open…

  • Back into a good routine.

    Finished work today and although the weather was looking pretty lousy I was able to squeeze in an 11.6km walk even with the drizzle. After coming back home, I grabbed a warm drink, showered then jumped into bed to watch a few YouTube videos and just as I did that I noticed that it started…

  • Start of the weekend.

    Work was good today, felt a lot better after a few days of rest and I was fairly productive getting through quite a few emails as well as answering phone calls and following up with past enquiries. After work I decided to have tonight off since there is rain that is on and off so…

  • Rather uneventful day.

    Finished work tonight, went for my 11.6km walk, jumped in and had a shower and now relaxing in bad watching some YouTube videos. The day so far has been rather uneventful, got up, had brunch, logged into my computer and found that Google hadn’t released an update for Chrome – maybe something happened and it…
