Parental Leave — Office Worker Health

I finished up my travel in Uruguay with a visit to Punta del Diablo, a seaside village on the north eastern coast. It took me about 4 hours by bus from Piriapolis to travel the 200 kilometres up the coast to get to Punta del Diablo. I was edging my way ever closer to the Brazilian border; Punta is less than 50 kilometres from Brazil. I just had to stop in Punta though, I’d heard great reports about the sleepy fisherman village that turns in to a vibrant hub of activity during the summer months as increasing numbers of Argentinians, Brazilians, Uruguayans and western backpackers come to enjoy the beaches, waves and laid back vibe.

Office Worker Health is 1

Office Worker Health is officially one year old! I published my first ever blog on February 18th last year. Thanks to everyone that’s read, written, commented, shared and supported me along the way; I’ve enjoyed every second of the journey I must say. The objective of the site is to promote health and wellbeing amongst sedentary people and a year on I’m even more passionate than ever about spreading that message. I’m learning more and more about health, fitness and nutrition every day and if you follow this blog then I know you are too.

Merry Christmas from Brazil

Hello from Florianopolis everyone! A very short post this week to wish all my family, friends and followers a very Happy Christmas. We flew to Florianopolis on Thursday after an amazing 6 weeks in Rio de Janeiro. I’ve been to Brazil for New Years a few times before and that’s a really big deal but this will be my first time to celebrate Christmas in this part of the world.

Rio de Janeiro Life

It’s been four weeks since we arrived in Rio de Janeiro at the commencement of my parental leave. Upon our arrival I committed to staying as fit as possible while here and not falling into the same unhealthy traps as I had on previous visits to Brazil. So how has it been going? Well not too bad actually. Take a look at these before and after photos for starters:
