Exercise and snacking are inversely proportional

I am quite confident now, from experience, that exercise and snacking moods have an inversely proportional relationship.

When I wasn't exercising regularly, I had "attacks" of snacking spells at all times of the day, morning, night, at work, net-surfing etc.

After I began seriously jogging 2-3 years back, not only did my desire for snacking decrease, but so did my taste for "junk" food such as fries and fried kway teows.

But whenever my fitness regime got interrupted - work, addiction to online games. children's holidays etc., these snacking moods come back.

Well, got to confess it's been like a yoyo-trip for 2010, with lots of things interrupting my exercises, including a bad knee.

If my transfer do get through, it's gonna be another challenge too 'cos I'll have to start work much earlier.

Another reason for keeping my fingers crossed ...

Where to go ... where to go ...

Apparently, as part of staff rotation (which has a KPI), HR is transferring me to Customer Affairs ...

Well, I have been considering getting out of my current group.  I do enjoy my work (generally) and working with my colleagues, but there has been some ... ethical issues ... in some of my assignments.

Going to CA will be a big change, not to mention significantly more commuting to the HQ.

Another colleague quickly whispered to me her group is in need of people and I won't have to change office building if I apply to move to her group instead.  There'll be other issues of course, namely, I'll still be in IT (so no big change) and future prospects are more limited when compared to CA.

*sigh*
