Pangzi

I’ve started putting on weight since I came to Beijing – haven’t been doing enough bagua practice in the mornings. Last year, in the four months that I was here, I lost a lot of kilos. I’ve decided to stop going to to restaurants for lunch (paid for by the company), and to just eat light food from the supermarket deli – much less oil and salt! However, it’s also been awkward, because up to now everyone from the office has gone to lunch together, soy trying to eat healthier, I’m isolating myself a little from the group (and, as the only non-Chinese in the office, it’s not as if I wasn’t already isolates to some extent). Ah well, think I need to look after my health; the bonding will come over time. Anyway, since I live on the 13th floor of my apartment block, I’ve started to use the stairs, which will do me some good, at least.
