I Wish

I finally got my breather today, thanks to a 2-day course which I was slated to attend. It was nice not to look at markets for a while, nice not to do any work or touch my PC and looking at the list of to-dos.

A few of us team-mates are suffering from exhaustion and burnout. My colleague B always says that we need to get out every 2-3months to refocus. And this time we really need this little getaway to recharge. I've already made my intention clear... No shopping for me, but I will be joining for group meals.

Thanks to the course, which ended at 5pm, I finally had the chance to re-live what it feels like to 'knock off' at 5pm. I deposited my barang barang at STC gym and instead of hitting the machines straight, I actually took a walk around the shopping area, not to buy anything, but just to absorb the mood... feels shiok.

Went back to the gym to attend 1830 Bodyjam by Rhomeiny and then 1930 Step II by Jonathan. I was extremely exhausted after the back-to-back classes. Wonder if age has caught up with me. Didn't used to feel tired after 2 classes last time.

Somehow I think my body has become too conditioned with BC already. Even when I conduct a class or two over the weekends, I don't feel this sort of tiredness. I really do need to attend some other classes to inject some variety in my exercise and to shock my system for a while.

I really do think it's a vicious cycle. I'm tired and lethargic from work, so I don't exercise. When I don't exercise, my fitness drops and I start feeling more lethargic. Truth is, I really do need to allocate some time for a jog or start hitting some weights. But it really is very difficult to carry myself to the gym at about 8-9pm. That's when you see fellow gym-goers all showered up and ready to have dinner.

Today's course was one of those management courses... where they talk about effective lifestyle habits, and needless to say, time management is one of them. I really think I need to manage my time better. There are too many things to do, and too little time.

I have so little time for myself to sort out my thoughts.
