Why this new space? Why not :)
The idea is to document the journey, and the hours and days that make this journey, from major events to smaller projects.
We're in the States. We've been here for a little of 6 months. I love California. It was always going to be a good choice, so no surprises here. The right mix of great weather, vast and beautiful outdoors, tons of energy, and a lot of quality time for the two of us. We miss our families though. The West Coast is the best coast, but its also the farth-est coast!
One of my projects here has been to transform my body. Since we started the move, I've been on a relentless drive to become fitter, stronger and healthier. Being able to do things that I couldn't, when I was younger, gives me tremendous confidence, and is increasingly defining me in my thirties. It started with last June, when at the end of a monstrous project for a global junk food major, I not only gained some 4-5 kilos, but I also became lazy, and depressed. I've, over the years, been more fit than average, and generally quite outdoorsy. I hit a low point last year, and this was just 2 months before our move to the States was to happen. I was lucky that I didn't staffed on something very demanding after that, and I decided that we both sign up to climb the Kilimanjaro :o. Extreme measures. With a little bit of preparation- not a lot- we did it last August! It made us both proud, tired, and extremely strong.
And then soon after, we found our way at the other end of the world, in beautiful California.
Continuing this effort on, I've tried a number of new things here. the occasional 10 mile hike, regular yoga, short runs, and more recently, the Bar Method. I am definitely fitter and healthier than before, though I wouldn't mind losing a few kilos either (which has NOT happened yet).
Along with this, whenever I get time off my extremely demanding work, I enjoy cooking delightful, wholesome meals for us. Our professions make us behave the contrary- we end up eating out at work just so much, that our weekends are extraordinarily low key in the food zone.
That's the introduction. Just having this space is a nice motivation!
