Amsterdam, Netherlands
The city was cold, grim, grey and rainy today, but that didn’t stop me from having a bit of a stroll through Vondelpark and the PC Hooftstraat area in the afternoon before going for a swim. The picture shows the former Filmmuseum in Vondelpark, housed in a beautiful building. The film museum left the building years ago, moved temporarily to an old cinema on Marnixstraat before that one got demolished, and soon will be housed in a brand new and very futuristic looking building in the north of Amsterdam, on the other side of the water behind Central Station.
I’m not sure whether it’s from the exercising, or the dieting, or from the ‘sweating it out in the Spa yesterday’ or from a combination of all of these, but it seems that my weight is really going down quite quickly now. I won’t mention any numbers yet (but I promised myself to publish a chart on my Facebook should this weight loss exercise be successful) but when I weighed myself this morning I weigher just over 7 kilograms less than what I weighed in January. This is a hopeful sign indeed. My goal, I should add, is actually to lose 18 kilograms, so there are still 11 to go, but at least there is a downward movement! The swim in the afternoon was fantastic. Not sure if I ever swam that fast in my entire life.
