I'm Baaaaaacccccccck!

Yup! In case you hadn't guessed, I'm back!
Its been a long time. Almost 2 years since i last blogged and probably over 3 since i actively sought to do anything about my weight.

As per my last blog, I turned my life upside down. I'm pleased to report it's working out. I now have a stable happy job that I enjoy and have built a nice circle of friends here in the Netherlands. Started learning Dutch (round 2 starts in feb!) and lost weight. The dutchie and I are still together, and will celebrate our 3rd anniversary in May. So yay for crashing cars, packing a suitcase and moving to a quite frankly, weird-ass country and starting again. It works! who knew!

And now I'm activly doing something about my weight. While I have lost weight over the past few years, its been more a happy accident than perfect planning. As it was recently the new year (or if your Chinese, currently the new year!), I made the obligatory resoloution to lose weight, save money and stop smoking all in one fell swoop. Kinda. Well not really. The smoking thing is on the backburner (til march. or april. or may. or 27th Julember 2145) But the health weight excercise thing is going suprsingly well.

3 weeks in I have lost 2.7kg (yes, With adopting the Netherlands as my home I have had to adopt metric measurements. I dont think i will ever get used to telling people i'm 194cm tall. Makes me sound like im describing a scary life size doll. That might kill you. ya know, the ones that come alive when your not looking and stab you to death with little tiny knives. or needles. Or some other minature sharp thing) i;m eating healthy. exercising more. And walking the dog (yes, still the same one, The mutt is now an international traveller!) at least 5km every other day.

So yes. I'm back. For good. Or until I g et horribly drunk and forget about EP. (which might be this weekend as its birthday time!)

So pull up a cuppa, and read a while,.Or even drop me a line for a chat. We all need friends fighting the fat monsters!
