I’m a changing man!

The monthly update! Got in today before November comes along…

Work has been good, previous problems with a certain work colleague have been ironed out and I’m getting to know my workmates better. Some might say too well, if a few drunken nights (and one day) have been anything to go by. Still, what better what better way to ingratiate yourself eh?

I’ve been worried recently about my weight. I reached the lowest weight I’d ever got to last Christmas, albeit helped by my then newfound intolerance to lactose. I seem to have put on weight since then, nothing major thank god, but enough to concern me. I buy my own food, decide my own portions, so it’s all down to me. I’d like to think I could be stricter with myself and know when to say no, but a quick look at pictures of me from three years ago reminds me how good I am that…

I’m confident it’s something that I have control over, I’m just disappointed that I couldn’t have used last years weight loss as a springboard to lose some more. I guess I’m just in unknown territory, my weight is steady for the first time in my life. I’m either losing it or putting it on, this is all brand new.

I’ve also decided to move once my six months here in Acton are up. Nothing against Acton itself, or the house, but having got word that two of my housemates are leaving, I’m thinking of going too. I enjoyed living at Iain’s, and while that isn’t an option, deciding to move back to Ealing will do. Closer to my brother – who I really would like to see more of socially than I currently do – and the transport links are better. Trains to Acton from Paddington are every half hour. Trains to Ealing seemingly run all the time! Plus the shops are better.

I need to give it a good long think, my contract runs until mid February, so I’ve got plenty of time to start looking.
