OK, that’s a lie; I may still be doing the whole teetotal thing but I was able to visit a cocktail bar with my Vietnamese family. Let’s just say that the choice of drinks that were available to me was rather limited. It was very tempting to enjoy an alcoholic beverage for the first time in over a month.

However, I shall record these mixes mainly to give me something to listen to while at the gym. In the space of a week, I encountered instances of both good and bad luck. At the beginning of this month, I purchased a gym membership and made very good use of it until about two weeks later; when my gym suddenly announced that it was closing for a month in order to complete renovation work. Apparently, the time spent was going to be compensated with an extension to my membership period, but that was going to be of little use to me for the month ahead. As a result, I was left pondering the possibility of purchasing a gym membership elsewhere for the 4 weeks ahead because my efforts to lose weight are not something that I can simply place on hold.

As one could expect from me, I procrastinated slightly and refused to make a quick decision. This usually serves to be a personal weakness of mine, but my apparent lack of pragmatism was to bring me some good luck on this occasion. I was walking home from my Vietnamese class and I passed by my gym and decided to stick my head through the window to see how the renovation work was going.

It was announced via a printed notice on the wall that my gym was merging with another gym. Therefore I would have access to that other gym for the month ahead and beyond. The need to make a decision was conveniently removed, although I would now face a slightly longer walk from my house to my workouts. Anybody who isn’t that disciplined when it comes to the gym will probably be able to tell that even the shortest of walks can seem rather long when there will be a gym session at the end of it.

The gym itself looked more advanced than my old one. The personal trainer carried out body measurements and offered a consultation. This new place looked rather swanky compared to my old gym and I really doubt that I will struggle to justify affording the renewal fees in a couple of months. However, the views from the place were amazing; they may not actually motivate me to work out, but it is a nice little bonus. These can be found on my Instagram page if you fancy looking at them.

So, I still have a good reason to keep recording these mixes. Maybe you’ll enjoy listening to it too?
