Finding a Balance

This month started with KK trip in the first week... the unplanned holiday with hubby. It was short and sweet. The highlight of the trip was Kundasang Desa Dairy Farm for its amazing view.

Second week was a working trip to Miri. Third week was Sibu. Next week will be local training Alhamdulillah... before our Tioman holiday trip end of the month insyaAllah. I love holidays :)

What's challenging is back-to-back outstation trip where hubby will be away when I returned and we can't see each other for days. Last time I managed to see hubby the night I returned and he's away after that, followed by my subsequent trip.

Being able to meet even for a while is great and better than clashing time altogether. However, the rational being that I am were close to tears with the thought of having to leave again and not seeing hubby for few more days. Suddenly I don't like what I'm doing. I just wanted to stay home. Of course I can't stay irrational and impractical for long.

Having said that, I'm thinking of other alternatives to reduce our away time. This is the 5th year I become a freelance trainer. If I'm working full time, this will be the time I started thinking of other challenges. I have a few things in mind that I hope will be alternative ways for me to pursue my intellectual stimulation requirement.

On the bits about staying at home, there's another challenge to that. When I have time to cook and relax... just like at the beginning of this year, I put on weight :( 3 kgs to be exact. Aduhai... all the good food goes everwhere that hubby said I looked bigger during our video conferencing.  Huwaarrgghh... fat, fat, go away. Never ever come here another day.

I guess I have to start using confinement menu diet coz it seems to reduce my weight last time. Looking at the Western diet menu doesn't seem very practical since we have different raw produce in the market. They have asparagus and broccoli, we have choy sum and spinach. They have apricot and fig, we have bananas and mangoes. Use less imported stuff to reduce  world carbon footprint and not to mention lower price for local produce than imported ones.

So those are the thing that requires me to find balance at the moment.
