Oh my, Monday already.... Better late than never :p Confession time - I've been dabbling for way too long (over 1 yr). Too much food, to little exercise, not enough discipline...weight has slowly gone up and I'm 7-8kg over my low, where I was pretty happy. My clothes are getting tight! Summer was never my weightloss…

In last weeks post Mamainthekitchen mentioned alcohol cals... well to be honest, I am enjoying a very lazy Sunday. The laziest one in a very long time and my first glass of wine was on the table at 15h B) If it is the alcohol or an NSV....don't know, but I am feeling much better and more positive. Have discovered…

Sitting in my balcony lounge with an early Sunday morning coffee.... ...before I'm off to my sister's building site for another active Sunday. Moving day is rapidly coming closer and there is still a lot to be done. Had a good week and I do see a slow downward trend in my weight again. I also feel the difference. Those…

Had a very warm night and an interesting visitor at 2 am....had all my windows open and heard / felt wing flapping over my head...birds don't fly at night...bats do. Oh my.

My weight came down quite a bit with last weeks fasts and not going over my maintainance cals on the other days. I was a little high this weekend, but not too bad. Another month or two like this and I should be much closer to where I want to be. No official exercise today, but no food logging either....spent the day at my…

The last 3.5 days I found myself between power tools, SUPing and BBQs as I am helping a bit with the renovation work of my sister's new (old) house at the lake.... My lazy day today consisted doing a bit of washing and going for a walk with a horse. We literally got washed today as we got caught in a very sudden and strong…

Had a busy week with the horses, my SUP and at my sister's building site. I did get in two fasts though and will try for a Monday / Wednesday fast this coming week. My body was tired so I went for a lazy Sunday...reading, napping and a late afternoon walk was about all I did today B) It felt good! A bit of fasting, riding…

Well after 1100 minutes and 110000 steps hiking last week (don't know how many altitude meters, but probably 2000-3000 up and down) my week of vacation in the Austrian Mountains is over. Weather wasn't perfect but drier than expected and I actually prefer cooler weather when hiking. Here is another little highlight from…

Well Peops, my weight is up a little after last weekends / weeks meals out. On the upside it has been stable over this weekend and I'm ready for my fast tomorrow. I also had a nice little NSV today. I made it up my running hill with just two short walking spells, when my HR was too high. Haven't been able to get up there…

Sorry peops....a day late starting our new weekly thread. I was a bit busy and preoccupied over the weekend. After 2 less than perfect fasts last week and 4-5 consecutive days eating out, I need to get back to it. Had a run yesterday and biked to work today and plan to do so tomorrow too. I also had a pretty good fast day…

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…

I think, I can see a very slow downward trend on my weight curve since I started tracking more regularly and more honestly again a few weeks ago. Also my fast days have been better and my non fast days closer to maintainance than they were for a long time. Mindset better, emotional status better.... Yay. After a nice…

Gonna start the new weekly thread today. Weather has been a bit up and down today. My walk around lunch time got cut short as a thunderstorm came in.

Time to start a new weekly thread. Except for Saturday I had a good week food wise and went walking alot. My weight isn't mirroring that yet, but I need to give it some time. On a fast day today and to my joy and surprise, my fruit farmer had the first of his lush strawberries. The most delicious strawberries are even…

I enjoyed my week off and was able to keep my exercise up in comparison to the last few months. It included two days of working on the building site...carrying boards up two flight of stairs, cutting, laying and fixing them with screws. My body ached a bit yesterday to say the least, but a horse back ride, a walk and some…

Hope you all had / have a good week! At the end of last weeks post, I summed up a bit of information on the fluctuations of my weightloss and what I found it linked to. To all the newbies - Weightloss isn't linear for most of us. The body is complex and fasting flushes out water and glycogen, that you retain again on your…

Hey Peops...new week, new goals :p After the festivities last week my weight is up. But my fast today has gone well. Off to taichi class soon, so it should stay that way.

Last weeks fasts were OK, but exercise a bit minimal. Weekend was nice...nice horse back ride and a spontaneous date with a new guy on Saturday. Coffee turned to drinks and dinner and then we met up on Sunday afternoon. He's a real cowboy, thus we have the love for horses and nature in common. Will see where it leads.…

Well, it's been a bit quiet in this group the last few days. Looks like everybody is still hunting for eggs :D I found mine and put them in the basement. Then at least I have to walk two flights of stairs to get them. Of my 5 days off this is the last one and the first one, which I'm just spending at home. Had a nice run…

Well....the week did not go the way I had hoped...still single, said goodbye today, as he definitely is either playing me or just not ready. Either way, it's time to stop.
