a new start

I have blogged before many years ago, but then I stopped. Blogged again late 2008, and stopped not too long after that. 

Not too sure if it was lack of content and ideas, or just plain laziness. I sense it is the latter which I think is a more prominent factor. Hopefully, the blogging stays this time.

Today is July the 2nd, and it's half-way through 2017. To date I can admit that I have achieved nothing much since the beginning of the year. To blame it on my work schedule and others is unacceptable.

This time, I am setting more realistic goals. Goals that I can achieve. 

For a start, I am thinking about leading a healthier life. Healthy eating, healthy lifestyle.

Started the day with a run, followed by some healthy oat breakfast. Had a simple sandwich for lunch. So, it's now 3 p.m. and my tummy is already grumbling and making all sorts of noise. 

Next goal is to run more often. Yes, I did run in a half-marathon this year, but that isn't good enough if I want to be healthier. 

The prolonged sitting in my office and sedentary lifestyle are simply not helping me towards achieving this healthy lifestyle goal. I set to run at least 20 km weekly. 

As life approaches the big 4 'O', I realize that happiness is the key to a healthy lifestyle. Life is short and it's only fair to share happiness with the ones I love, the ones that care about me. 

There will be more laughter with family and friends, less worry and most importantly ignoring those who spell nothing but trouble and putting myself above all.

That's for a new start.
