A rainy day today...but the weather report says summer will roll in around Wednesday. It's about time! May and June have been cold and very very wet in Switzerland!
Had a good week in many ways, but both fasts went bust. I enjoyed my day off on Friday with a visit at the Hamam in the afternoon. Felt really good and the oil massage at the end was heavenly!
I will fast again tomorrow. Due to some insight I recieved last week, I am very confident, that I will be more successful with fasting, eating on nfds and more regular with my exercise. With the weather getting better, I will be able to bike to work once or twice too.
Wish everyone a great week!

Rain would be amazing! Phoenix, AZ is over 115F which limits my exercise opportunities. I use walking as therapy on Fast Days to distract me, so today was ROUGH! I did record over 11k steps, but am used to 3k more.
I made it through my fast today and ended at 506 calories.
Tomorrow I plan to get out early and do an extra 15 min run on the treadmill to make up for today. FD #2 will Thursday this week. Glad to have a normal schedule!0 -
First Fast Day of the week today after some very excessive non fast days. Has been one of those weeks so just rolled with it but back on track today.
It would be nice to see the sun here in the UK. We have had the odd hour or two but this time last year I was in France and it was wall to wall sunshine. I am definitely a summer baby so really looking forward to when summer rolls round.
Have a great week ladies and here's to your success.0 -
Today is my first FD of the week, too. I had my performance last week, which went really well. After 3 years, I've noticed that rehearsals tend to be crazy and all over the place. But when it comes down to showtime, it all works out. I'm back in "mom" mode and am cooking again. We will be entering a hot spell, too, Dry Heat. I'm a morning exerciser, so I'm headed out pretty soon. I swear the heat zaps all my energy. I wake up groggy, but know I need to get out there early otherwise it's not happening. I don't have ballet until July (sob), which will set me back. I've been doing some strengthening exercises to support what I do in class so hopefully I won't lose too much technique between now and then.
Good luck, ladies. I can't decide if summer helps or hinders my efforts. We are super busy, but for some reason, things are a little tough in the weight department.1 -
So far this week has been pretty rough. Today is going to be my first fast day. Fasting really messes with my hormones. I have either been weepy or starving all this week. BUT, I can still turn this around! Right? Today is a new day! (I want a donut.)0

Just wanted to share 'my' waterfall...due to the rain in the last 2 months...it's been very wet in Switzerland...we have 920000 liter per second! And I get to see this awesomeness on my bike ride to work. Lucky or what!!

Ah Flumi your waterfall is beautiful!! Thank you for sharing
I actually had one true FD during the week! First one since early April. It felt good too!! I'm starting to forget to log my foods now, maybe because I'm at a weight I'm happy with and subconsciously know to have a low day after a day of wine & chocolate!? I'm comfortable in this maintaining stage so far. I guess I've been pretty lucky, I've been reading all the Success forums that last two months which are extremely inspiring for me - some people have had soooo much weight to lose and have posted photos... It's amazing their progress!! I really only had about 30-35 lbs to get off so I cannot complain after I read those stories.... I had it pretty easy compared to most so that makes me feel pretty good & pretty lucky!! I do see though how easy it can be to not be careful, lose track and start indulging everyday!! I guess I thought I'd lose the weight and that would be it, job done! But no, I'm like everybody else
and I'll have to watch myself in the coming months that I don't get so derailed that I'm completely off the track!! It's been quiet here, not too many posts to read, hope all is well with everyone. Happy Saturday! 0
