Well, that’s it – my job is officially behind me. And while
I am sad to leave many wonderful coworkers behind, I am certainly happy to move
on to the next adventure. I’m still a little unsure as to what exactly will be
involved in this adventure but I’ve no shortage of ideas.
One thing that I am sure of is that I will be working harder
towards bettering my overall sense of wellbeing, which includes my physical
health. I joined a gym at the beginning of the year for the first time since I
was in high school, fully expecting to hate it. I’ve hiked up and down 4th
Street in New Westminster twice daily for the past year and a half. Beyond
that, I did the Sun Run, Colour Me Rad, and hiked the Chief in Squamish (2nd
peak only). I can say with reasonable certainty that I have not done anything
else that could be considered exercise since I finished university. This isn’t
necessarily because I dislike being active, but 2013 was a weird year and I
didn’t get out much, and I’ve never been much for exercising just for the sake
of exercising.
Which is why I was very surprised to discover that I
actually quite enjoyed going to the gym! Part of that may be due to this being
a popular activity among my closest friends, and I’m often able to enjoy the
pleasure of their company while working out. More than that though, especially
because I started going to the gym when I was still feeling overwhelmed with
work and life, I felt accomplished for setting a priority on my health and
sticking to it. I’m not especially results-oriented – mostly looking for a
greater sense of overall health. But if I can build some muscle too, I won’t
complain.
Today was my first day off work, and I was a little worried
I would fall off the wagon without my old routine, but I managed to make it
there today, so I feel like I’m on the right track.
My dietary habits are another issue entirely... but I’m not
ready to tackle that one just yet. ;)
Cheers!
