Hey sleepy heads ;) . Already up and at em in Europe. I had a great week of at home vacation. Wasn't really at home much.... Lots of hiking, SUPing and walking in beautiful fall weather.

Sorry peops....been a bit MIA. Lots going on...the good the bad and the ugly. Had three weeks of at home vacation and did not fast during that time. My weight was stable over that time and I am happy with that. Did a lot of stand up paddling. The time on the water was great to clear my head, heart and train my core and…

Oh my almost June already! I am no where near where i wanted to be weight wise, but I've been feeling differently. I finally think the 'loving yourself' is sinking in. I'm seeing me in the mirror more and more as I am and not as I was. It's taken 3 yrs! I'm very happy with these mental and emotional changes. Been out and…

bit late on starting... Busy times...slowly everything is falling into place. After two weeks of haitius and too much food and no fasts...my weight is up a bit. Fasting today and feeling much better.

Well I'm a day late :o Wasn't very active on mpg last week thus it slipped my mind yesterday. Sorry. Went running with a friend's horse yesterday. It so much fun. First time with him and he was a 700kg angel! Tempo was perfect and he really reacted to my every move or change of pace and direction. Great to have a furry…

I will be getting some help to work on the issue, but the sitting won't be until the beginning of May. I'm a weeble wobble and always get…

Strange weekend....had fun on Friday, some relaxation time yesterday and today a bit of an emotional roller coaster. As much as I try, I don't understand men (sorry guys, I love you, but I don't understand how you tick ;) ) On the upside, my food choices were pretty good today eventhough my emotional state wasn't. Probably…

Hi all...really enjoyed the first very sunny and mild spring weekend. Got my balcony ready and it always seems like I have additional room to relax in. Just 6m2...but nice and cozy. Had a bit of a food overload this week. Ate out twice, thus the extra salt has also caused a bit of water retention. Steamed lots of potassium…

No fasting as I'm in Bayern for a few days.... Had a great hike today. 3h, 700m ascent and 11k, partially in the snow. But no snowshoes...snow is to scarce and wet. A snack, a nap and a shower on my return and now I'm off to dinner soon. Hoping I get an appointment for a massage tomorrow afternoon. That would be great…

Wow, we are already getting into the second month of 2017! Time flies! I enjoyed my snowshoe weekend last weekend. I did not enjoy the cold I came down with after returning. Nor did the greyness of the fog help. It's been sunny since friday and I can feel my energy levels returning. Went for a brisk walk yesterday and it…

4 days of sun, fun and snowshoeing... Ate more than enough, but the scale was quite nice to me this morning. Guess together with with 2-3h of hiking and many meters in altitude (300-800m upward per day), I did OK. I'm back in the grey fog of the Swiss low lands and feeling a cold coming on. Fasted today....at 600cals. Not…

My ticker todays says 1000 days. Actually I've been here about 1300, but I lost my days during an offline vacation :# I'm still here because, I am not an intuitive eater....if I eat, what I want, I overdo it. I tried that and gained 5kg while still fasting. At 1600-1700cals TDEE before exercise it's easy to overdo it :o .…
