A Year of Weight Loss - Week Eighteen

I'm back!

As I indicated towards the end of the last blog post, there's a change coming - I'm taking a new job as a Rails developer at a startup dev shop in Sherwood called Ennova. I'm leaving my current company towards the end of June, but I'm working for my new place outside of work part-time until then. It's a really great opportunity - they're a company that provides support in a big way for their developers, flexibility and the opportunity to travel around to some conferences promoting the company.

I've really enjoyed my first couple of days at Ennova - the guys are really cool and the codebase, while not perfect, is a damn sight better than anything I've been working on in a while. There are tests!

Anyway, I've been flat-out lately trying to keep up with my horrible schedule - this has caused the countless takeaways I've eaten to not impact me so much. Seriously, if you'd seen the trash I've been eating lately, a point five of a kilo gain is absolutely bloody wonderful.

I went to Jetts. My god, the agony after one session was incredible. I had to walk up a slight hill after the session, and I had to walk backwards using baby steps to make it. I ran late for a developer meetup because it took me so long to walk that hill.

I don't know what the next few weeks will hold for me, but we're only about four weeks away from celebration season (WittyWife's birthday, my birthday and our anniversary within 8 days of each other). We're going on a food safari, sampling our favourite restaurants around Brisbane.

That might require me to do some exercise, I'm thinking.
