  • A couple more days to go.

    Work today was so-so and I finished it up with an 11.6km walk tonight along with some free weights when I got home (on top of the ones I had done during my breaks while working from home). I’m looking forward to getting the week over and done with but on a good side I…

  • First day back in the office went well.

    Finished work tonight at 10pm however rather than taking the train I ended up having to take the bus replacement which wasn’t so bad after all. As for some exercise today, I got off at the train station that is 3 stops from where I live so then I could squeeze in a 2.9km walk.…

  • Almost there.

    Had a good day at work, finished off some work and then went for my nightly walk and during the day I did some free weights on my break. As for my meal schedule, once again I stuck to it with a continual reminder to myself about the goal I’m trying to reach by the…

  • Back to work on Wednesday.

    I had a good walk tonight of 11.6km and the weather was good – warm but not hot when compared to the walk down to the bakery when I picked up a late lunch. I’ve got my laptop bag and swipe card all organised as well as lunch too because last week I forgot all…

  • A strange night sleep.

    I had a bit of a late night because I got stuck into a binge watch of Fallout season 2 and had a small sleep then I woke up early but couldn’t get to sleep so I then went for a walk at around 6am. It is surprising the number of people out at that…

  • Start of the weekend.

    Finished tonight at 10pm, went for a small walk round the block to clear my head and then came back to heat up some ciabatta bread I had in the freezer – something basic like some fresh bread with butter and honey or butter and marmite is always nice. It is funny how the simpler…

  • Back into a routine.

    My routine got thrown out this week when I headed into the office then had an early start the next day where I had to get up at 7:45am but I’m used to getting to sleep at around 2am so I only ended up getting around 5 hours sleep. The net result was after that…

  • Grocery shopping all done, back at home.

    I’ve come back home after having dinner with mum and on the way home I picked up some groceries – I was hoping to get the roasted seaweed that I normally get but the store was out of that so instead I went with the other brand they have there which will be good enough.…

  • Chilling out, enjoying the weekend.

    I went for.a 5.8km walk in the afternoon, came back home, watched some YouTube videos and then went for an 11.6km walk thus making it a total of 17.4km that I’ve walked today. It actually worked out good to split the work out into two sessions rather than trying to do the 17.4km all at…

  • Feeling so much better.

    Had a long night sleep, absolutely solid, no interruptions, didn’t have to get up during the night nor did I wake up. I woke up around midday feeling fully refreshed and a whole lot better than I did last week. I woke up, had an Up and Go for brunch then after watching a few…
