I spent three months in Perth, Western Australia last year. During the initial weeks, which happened to be spring season, I did not venture out of the neighbourhood much, as the weather was erratic with torrential rain and hail.

The extended period of sedentary lifestyle made me consume more calories, and I became ... a little lazy when it came to exercising.
