A thought occurred to me that I would have deemed inconceivable just a couple of weeks ago. Maybe I'm losing weight too fast? I mean, is there such a thing? Where, in the past, I had difficulties losing even half a kilogram, with my current low-carb diet and regular exercise (swimming) regime, the kilograms are vanishing visibly. I stand on my scales every morning and today's weight (which shall remain a secret until I have reached my target) was 1.4 kilograms less than what it was last week Thursday, which in its turn was also 1.4 kilograms less than the Thursday before, which in its turn again was 1.7 kilograms less than the Thursday before that one. Ever since I started dieting I've lost nearly 11 kilograms. I'm extremely happy with that... but wonder if there are any side effects to that. Don't get me wrong, I feel fitter than I have felt in years (even went swimming this morning despite the fact that on Thursdays I typically don't swim) and to see it all going so easily - and healthily! - is wonderful. We'll see where this ends!
The picture is nothing special today, but in a way it's special for me: I have a view again on the canal side of the house! For three months there was scaffolding on this side and those were three very long months. Now, the scaffolding has moved to the street side of the house (where the view is now gone) but at least there is sunshine coming through the windows and early evening again on this side. Ugly as the building may be from the outside, at least the view gives me more to enjoy inside.
