Sparking the Fire - Starting Sunday

Hi all :)

I am Marion/Oxymord, long-time silent Tumblr. I read, I read Tumblr, I read a lot of your posts but I haven’t posted in a long time.

I live in Essex and work in London which means that I commute daily. 50 mins, 50 mins out in the train. Not the funniest time of the day but the train is not that crowded so I usually get a seat.  I work in heath system strengthening in developing countries. My daily job is to make sure that the programmes implemented in Kenya and Nepal are spending budget as they should. I love my job. Except when I need to produce 26 employment contracts in one day and I have to treasure-hunt the 26 previous contracts for reference.

Sparking the fire back on a healthy everyday lifestyle. I know the theory and the tricks to be healthy, to lose weight. I know what I like and dislike in food, in exercise but I struggle to commit more than 3 days. I am sparking the fire on long-term commitment for a happy healthy me.

Sowing the Seeds of Gratitude - May 22

Today I'm grateful for alone time. I've spent so much time in the company of others and spent the day alone, doing things for me. Don't get me wrong, I love hanging out with my friends, but sometimes some alone time is fantastic!

Help!

I don't know whether I'm getting up or going to bed.. so I'm lying in bed. I had the nicest breakfast though. Breakfast for the win. Two scabby eggs* and wheaten toast. And orange segments. And clean lovely beautiful cool water. *I tried to cook fried eggs without frying them. It kinda worked but the egg white did form a sort of scabby appearance. It's all texture. It's all good.

Stsog day 7

Tired. So, so grateful to be in my bed, with a dog snoring at my feet. Grateful my throat is less painful and my brain worked considerably well at my work session today. Grateful for the crazy smart people I'm lucky to work with and learn from. And grateful beyond belief that my coworker's run-in with that semi truck this morning was something she walked away from.

Sowing the Seeds of Gratitude - Day 2

Technology I'm grateful for is definitely the internet because it allows me to be connected with people even if I can't physically get out of bed, among other things. I'm also grateful for the ability to take digital x-rays because developing is a pain in the booty. Kinda random, but it is what it is haha.
