  • I’m feeling good.

    Back to work today and I feel good after resetting my life back to where it should be in terms of routine and meal prepping. I stuck to my meal prep for today and then went for a walk tonight and felt that the walk was so much easier for me to do – better…

  • Where is spring?

    Another day of horrible weather – raining, windy and cold. Tonight I had some garlic bread, oven fries and chicken nibbles for dinner – something to warm me up on a cold evening. I’ve got my heater going but I’m hoping that the weather will get better because this is ideally the time when the…

  • Lousy weather tonight.

    Finished work and then went for a walk only to find that the weather was lousy. I was going to tough it out but by the time I got back after 5.8km it was getting close to raining then when I did get home the heavens opened. It makes me happy that I didn’t get…

  • Back to work on Friday.

    I’m feeling a whole lot better having a couple of days to rest and recuperate. The weather has been pretty lousy for the last couple of days, lots of wind and rain but hopefully it is the last bit of a nasty weather before spring comes around. I finished cleaning up around the house and…

  • Relaxing at home on a rainy night.

    Finished work tonight and I noticed it had started raining – basically it has been going on and off the whole night so I decided I’ll take the night off from going for a walk and instead chill out. Had some weird behaviour today with the work VPN crashing out and ended up going offline…

  • One more day.

    Finished work tonight, went for my nightly 11.6km walk and when I arrived home I decided to have some minestrone soup – Artisano make a good range of soups from the supermarket and they’re great to have in the fridge if one feels the need for something to eat with minimum fuss and bother. I’ve…

  • Nights are getting warmer.

    Went for my nightly walk and tonight I cracked a sweat for the first time given how cold it has been for the last few months I found that even when wearing a sweatshirt I still didn’t get hot enough to start sweating when on a walk. Getting closure to summer so I’ll finally give…

  • Getting closer to spring.

    Finished work tonight at 10pm and went for my walk – temperature outside was 13°C so it wasn’t uncomfortably cold and apart from a bit of drizzle I went for a 17.4km walk tonight where I completed it in around 2 hours and 40 minutes. I like to keep track of the speed I walk…

  • Back to work on Wednesday.

    I had a good sleep in today and then went to mum’s place for dinner along with picking up some groceries for the next couple of weeks. For the last couple of weeks I have fallen out of a routine so I’m happy to get back into a routine tomorrow – got some extra fibre…

  • Thank god that day is over.

    Thank goodness that day is over – having to deal with a customer who blames us for their screw up and yes I understand a person can be frustrated but when you’re a fully grown adult you should be able to first take responsibility for your screw up and secondly to control the ‘big feelings’…
