It's hard getting back on the horse. The 18th of October just passed. That marks my third month in my first job. I haven't got any one to compare with really so I'm not really sure where my performance lies.
But this is not about that. A different lifestyle, transitioning from student to working adult, takes some getting used to. I stopped going to the gym altogether and have gotten a little pudgy. I've spent time socialising, having rich dinners, wonderful talks, chilling out, hour after hour just sitting around.
I've started on a slightly healthier routine. I'll eat at home more often. I'll be more active whenever I can. I think it's the small things. As I was telling another friend, some people look like the jobs they do. It's what you do daily that contributes most to who you are, how you look.
Another friend made the effort to look better and get into tighter clothes. Firming up, slimming down - it's lots of hard work, resisting temptation, eating differently. But it works! And seeing him take charge of his appearance and body was very inspiring.
And so I've been making some effort. Eating lesser of the unhealthy stuff. Pounding the pavement - the new route is awesome and exciting. Up from 3km to 5.2. Getting back to the basics - chin-ups, sit-ups and dips. I feel tired but it allows me to sleep easy at night.
Especially a night like tonight. Will Young's making me emo.
