Fell off the wagon a bit over the last 2 months while stressing about the house, a little bit of comfort eating. But pulling my head in now to get back on track.

[Stacy Mclean @stacygmclean]

So I guess I was on too high of a cloud from buying my first home and the universe has told me to calm down. Guys delivering some couches backed the truck into the house breaking the gutters and bending the roof. I’ve only been here 2 days.

I own a house. It’s a little run down but with a little love I think she’ll shine.

Hell is when you’re stuck in @2degrees call queue and the same song has played on loop, stuck on one verse for an hour.

Make sure to wear a hat when going for a walk. Not because the suns out but because a bird might decide to shit on your head

[Stacy Mclean @stacygmclean]

I don’t know how @gingofthesouth does it, he just keeps marching forward. I swear this shit shaves years off your life. Hopefully when I get settled in the new house things can calm down a bit.

[Stacy Mclean @stacygmclean]

The last four months have been exciting but stressful as hell. Started a new job and bought a house. But the extra stress comes with a cost. Been a bit sicker than I usually am and as I get older I don’t bounce back as quick.

For 3 and half months I’ve been trying to buy my first home on a low deposit loan. I’ve changed jobs, done a lot of fast talking and done some creative financing to finalise it. But the end is in sight and I should be chilling in my own home by the end of the week.

20 minutes on the cross trainer doing interval based resistance and I’m now a puddle

Nothing like a cup of coffee from a freshly cleaned machine

Kia ora everybody.

My work is currently looking for a software developer who would like to learn how to be an iOS dev.

This is a junior / intermediate role suited for recent grads or somebody with a dev background who wants to pivot into an iOS dev.

Is there anything more comforting than a simple ham, cheese and piccalilli sandwich?

[Stacy Mclean @stacygmclean]

Right, I’m wrecked. Second workout and I’m only halfway through.

[Stacy Mclean @stacygmclean]

Tonight’s dinner

[Stacy Mclean @stacygmclean]

Gym done, conditional approval dropped off, LIM report ordered, house inspected, I guess I can relax for a bit.

[Stacy Mclean @stacygmclean]

A bowl of porridge and 2 shots of coffee and I’m ready for the day.

[Stacy Mclean @stacygmclean]

So body has been feeling a bit beat up recently. Rehab leg day it is! Lots of stretching and rolling work with leg workouts sprinkled in.

[Stacy Mclean @stacygmclean]

Sweet, I should be able to get a 80% subsidy of a heat pump and install. That really helps as I’m going to have to be very frugal soon to help fund work on the new house.

[Stacy Mclean @stacygmclean]

Go to the gym, play a sport, run, bike, walk, it could be anything just so long as you’re moving your body everyday.

[Stacy Mclean @stacygmclean]

So I heard something a while back around doing exercise that really stuck with me “exercise is hygiene, it’s something that should be part of your day like having a shower or brushing your teeth, a thing you do to help maintain yourself”
