The next step

Now that I have conquered food shopping, actually I have probably just begun, but I have it under control for now.  Of course with food shopping comes eating.

To be honest all we have done since we arrived here is eat. There is so much variety here when it comes to food, and many different places to get it. There are hawker centers, restaurants, kopitiams (foodcourts) in malls, fast food chains. I am pretty sure that on nearly every corner there is some form of eating establishment.

We loved eating out for the first month. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. Mainly because we enjoyed discovering our new environment, and also because we didn't have any cooking utensils in the kitchen. As much as we enjoyed it, I started craving salads and things cooked the way that I like them.

Hold on, how did I get sidetracked talking about food. One track mind.

What I was getting to in this blog was my need for exercise. Hubby has been very conscientious and has been making sure that he gets out every week for at least 1 bike ride, which in this heat is super nuts.

Today while my son was at play group I forced myself to go for a swim. It was so good.

See, no excuse.

The pool is literally on my front door step and I go swimming lots with my son, but I manage to ignore it for myself. Today that is changing. I threw myself in and made myself swim laps. Ok, they were widths, not lengths, but still that's a good start.

Tomorrow I will attempt to do it again, then the next day and the next. Until it becomes habitual. Well that's the plan, but I am sure I can be side tracked by something.
