October 22
This needs to be a quick post now. Have tons of work to go back to. The week has started on a good, bad and funny note.
Good - Went to gym today. Worked out for around 1.5 hours which had 1 hour cardio, 15 mins warm up and cooling and about 15 mins of abs. Felt good. Weight 69.78 kg. Not good. but not so bad either. Though I should try to step up on my rate of weight loss. But maybe losing slowly will make my maintenance phase easier.
Bad - S is violently sick. He went to stay in a farmhouse in the middle of a jungle. Just as guys generally are, I think they did not have enough mosquito repellents on them when they went around. Result - he is down with severe fever. Doctor is observing him. They are not yet sure what is wrong. Hope they will do the blood tests today. I am quite worried. His small home town is not the best place for medical care. He sounded very weak and poor guy became dizzy just after a few minutes chat with me. Now I am not even worried about my exercise routine. Hope he just gets well soon. Might call him sometime again tonight.
Funny - A new guy was supposed to join my team here today. He came down, but won’t join today because apparently today’s day is not auspicious enough for him. 
Okay, I guess it is not funny when he is so serious about it. Though my boss feels he might holding out waiting for an offer from another company. Let’s see how this goes.
Well, that’s all for now. Hope everyone has a good day!

Your exercise routine puts me to shame! Keep up the good work. I really do think you are right that losing weight slowly will pay off when you get to your maintenance phase. Hope your friend S. gets well very soon. Do you work in IT? The talk of teams and consultants sounds just like where I work. BTW, don’t work too hard and glad you enjoyed your time with your mom at the festival.

Just caught up to your comment on my blog. Lisa Jackson does romantic mystery/suspense, OK but I’d take Sara Paretsky over her any day. You might try Faye Kellerman or Jonathan Kellerman (husb. and wife, both write well) or Dick Francis (English author, used to ride horses for the queen); reallly, really good. Actually I have tons of favorites!!! Have you read the alphabet mysteries? A is for Alibi, etc??? I think she’s up to about T.
So sorry to hear about S. Hope the new guy’s karma or whatever comes around so he can join the team!
