Big day is almost here

It's almost upon us! I'm pleased to report I've finished all my present shopping (still waiting for a couple of things from Amazon.com but Firebox.com have been AWESOME!!!)

I've cut back a little on the exercise this past week. I've lost a good amount of weight since I started and I'm in great condition for the Holidays coming up. When I say I've cut back, I'm down to the 3 days a week instead of 5 but I'm still doing the hour a day. I surprised myself out on the bike yesterday and I put it all down to the loss of weight. Loving it, and long may it continue!

We're heading out for drinks after work this evening, everyone is coming and it'll be great to catch up with everyone before Christmas. I hope whatever you're up to it's with people that matter and you have a great time. I'll write again soon!

Time to breathe

I never thought I'd end up being so happy to update this thing, especially as often as I have been! I don't know if it's because of work and my needing to let of a little steam, or just because it's quite cathartic. Whatever it is, I'm quite into it. Oh, and my exercise!

This week I've pushed my workouts up to a full hour a day. The guide says I can do 45 minutes 3 days a week but I'm loving the new look I've got! It's been years since I was this trim, and I've really only just started out with this!

Oh, and I've had a few people ask me what I'm using to get these results. Follow the link below:

And yes, I'd recommend this to anyone!

Work is steadily getting calmer. Everyone seems to have caught up with everything they have to do before the break and we've now got 4 guys out of the office on extended vacations. Will has already headed up to Whistler (I'm meant to be going skiing with him & his friends over Christmas) and Daves family have swarmed in from all over the country. Fun for all!

Time to get back to it. Until next time!

Ow. Be gentle.

I've been working out every day for a week. As you can guess my pant shocker was a good motivation to lose the weight! This new exercise plan has been fantastic. It's hard on me but for 45 minutes a day I'm doing something positive for myself and I'm finding it strangely relaxing to be working out like this again. Its been a very long time since I have. The only problem is I haven't been able to ride my bike far since I started. It's really taking it out of me. Hey, this can only be a good sign can't it? If you check out my stats I think you'll get as big a surprise as I did!

On other topics I've got dinner plans tonight with Tom & Becky. I haven't seen Becky in forever and I'm looking forward to catching up with them both. We've got a bit of a drive to get to the restaurant but I ate there a few years ago and if it is as good as I remember then it'll be well worth the trek.

Work is beginning to get hectic. The closer we get to the christmas break the closer the boss gets to a meltdown (JUUUUUST kidding Bill). Seriously though, the two week break will be good for everyone in the office. I've had an invite to go skiing up at Whistler for Christmas but I haven't been on two planks in years and I don't heal as fast as I used to. We'll see. It could still be fun!

Will write again soon. Who'd have thought I'd enjoy this?
