Amsterdam, Netherlands
The good news is that yesterday’s sharp decrease of my weight continued today, and that meant that I have nearly reached my pre-Easter weekend weight again. So it was a temporary increase after all, and that is great to know. Not only do I know that I can actually diet, I also now know that if my weight increases for whatever reason, I can pick my diet up again quite effectively afterwards. That gives me a bit of confidence.
The other good news is that I went swimming again this morning. When I swam after work, I did not go swimming on Thursdays, for the simple reason that the pool is closed on Thursday evenings. But now that I’ve switched to morning swims (and loving them) there is no reason not to go on Thursdays either. It turns out that I don’t mind getting up at 6:15 (and I can hardly believe that I’m writing this) and it turns out that I enjoy early morning exercise (ditto) so… off I went! It has the added advantage that cycling through Amsterdam at 7:15 is so much more enjoyable than cycling (or rather avoiding accidents) at 8:30.
And some more remarkable news is that I have quit eating chocolates again. The Easter weekend was exceptional, but all the leftover chocolates in the office (see picture above for Exhibit A) have remained untouched by me, and again that’s something I had never expected. Maybe I had a stroke or something because I sure don’t recognise myself. Very pleasant stroke though.
