Today I gave myself a present....a day with no appointments. It's a holiday Monday, so I was off work and as I fasted yesterday, I didn't fast today.

I woke up rather early, made myself scrambeld eggs with some trimmings for breakfast and took the 8h bus to Schaffhausen. Then I hiked from the city along the Rhein, went past the Rhein Falls and kept walking on little nature paths as close to the river as possible. I arrived in Rheinau after 15k, ate asparagus-risotto for lunch and then continued to the little island in this village (another 2k). There is an old and very beautiful monestary, a chapel and several sequoias on this island. It is a very peaceful place and I don't go there often enough. After about an hour in peace and meditation on the island I took the 14h45 bus to go home and it started pouring. Got lucky today!! When I got home, I treated myself to a pampering bath and a short rest to relaxing music.

Had a nice healthy dinner and feel very relaxed and much more balanced than in the last months. I'm feeling very grateful for the support and energy I was given today.

Wishing you all a happy and healthy week!!
Here are a few impressions of my day.

    I like the one with the monastery across the water looking out through the trees.
    All very nice...love that you find time to stop and smell the roses (...cypresses?)


    Anyone have a nice ocean/sailboat/beach scene? ...was looking for something summeryish

    Hi everyone, just a note to say I am still here, family stuff going on and I am the designated grownup who has to deal with everything. No fasts and not much exercise, hope everyone is doing well x

    That's one hell of a workout, judging by the pics totally worth it!

    How is everyone getting on this week? I'm on my first fast today and I'm thinking of trying to fast tomorrow as well. Get both out of the way :)

    This is my third week. The 2nd fast was a bit more difficult this week because only had one day in between because of US holiday on Monday. But hung in there and succeeded. I dropped 3.7 this week. Which seems like too much but I am pretty chunky so don't know if it's still water weight. Did others have bigger losses their first weeks?

    Waddington. ..never question a big loss :D Congrats! My losses varied from week to week. A big loss was mostly followed by a few slower weeks. As long as the overall trend was down, I was happy.
