  • Finished work tonight and went for a 11km walk – decided to take the scenic route rather than the usual loop I normally take. One of the downsides of losing weight is that you feel the cold a lot more – I wore my hoodie to keep my warm and when I came back my…

  • I don’t know what on earth has happened with NZ Post but holy heck the quality has gone down hill within a matter of months. I remember in the past you could order something on Friday, get shipped out on Friday night, take the over night truck down to Wellington and then have it delivered…

  • I’ve been sick for the past few days – making sure I get plenty of fresh air, rest, drinking lots of water to keep hydrated. I took a day off from going for a walk at night due to it raining on and off – I didn’t want to get stuck in a downpour only…

  • Just a bit of context before I start, I sold off my Pixel 9 Pro XL 256GB (which was painful but necessary thing to do) along with a few other pieces to pay off in full my iPhone 15 Pro Max 256GB I had on one of those interest free purchase plans through One NZ.…

  • Working from home things were pretty good – feedback from work being positive so I’m happy with how things are progressing. We had our bonuses handed out last pay so I put that towards wiping out my overdraft that I’ve had since I was at university and if things keep going the way they are…

  • I went down to the supermarket today to do some grocery shopping which will cover me for the next fortnight. I bought a some lamb rumps that I cooked up and created a tasty lamb sandwich for dinner, I also bought some chicken and fish from the frozen section – I like to keep some…

  • End of another week and enjoying my weekend off – I decided to work from home on Saturday rather than going into the office because the light in the office keeps turning off resulting in me having to jump up and down to get the sensor to turn on the light. In a normal functioning…

  • Finished work at 8pm tonight, watched a few YouTube videos and then went for an 8km walk – I went for an 11.6km one last night, I was pretty sore so I needed some time to recover but I still feel the need to get out of the house and get some exercise. It’s always…

  • A long but uneventful day – working from home in my fortress of solitude, had mushroom soup for main meal, an afternoon drink I had an iced coffee then for dinner a smoothie with boysenberries. After finishing work I decided tonight I’ll push myself a little bit further and go for a 11.6km walk –…

  • On Monday I headed down to the store and picked up some necessities, came home and then later that night I started off thinking, “maybe I’ll do an 8km walk” then I felt so good I decided to push it out to a 10km walk but in the end I ended up having a 14km…
