Day 3 (swimming on a Saturday)

 

 

 

Hello all!

 

 

 

Found this in my Facebook feed this morning

and just have to share it with you:

 

Sounds good, eh?

 

 

 

 

 

Another wonderful day...

 

 

 

Today two friends and me went swimming to a small lake near my town.

We had a fun time.

 

I carried a smoothie and fruit with me,

but got hungry by the evening,

so I joined my friends in having a portion of French fries with mayo

(and a Bounty...)

 

 

However, I was swimming;

and I was having fun.

So, no regrets.

 

 

 

 

 

FOOD:

 

Breakfast: semolina pudding with chocolate

and a Starbucks coffee

 

 

Small Lunch snack: celery with hummus

 

Dessert: pudding (orange-white chocolate flavor)

 

Smoothie: made with a normal and a small banana,

a handful of strawberries,

and some pomegranate juice

 

Fruit snack: one nectarine

and at least 750 grams of watermelon

 

"Sinful" indulgence in the evening: a portion of French fries

with two servings of mayonnaise,

and a two-pieces "Bounty" chocolate-coco snack

 

Dinner: two tortillas with filling as shown in the picture

(filling made with smoked tofu,

red and yellow bell pepper,

some corn,

red beans

and some peas)

 

 

 

 

 

 

EXERCISE:

 

 

About 70 minutes of pure swimming

(slow, calm breaststrokes)

 

- the rest of the time I was just fooling around in the water

or laying in the sun -

 

 

- adding 7 points -

 

 

 

STRESS MANAGEMENT:

 

 

Swimming calmed me so much!

 

 

 

I love swimming;

for me it's like a very own type of meditation.

 

 

 

I perceive nothing but me and the water;

I feel how the water carries me,

my weight fading away...

Nothing but my soft, calm movements

and the cool water caressing my skin

as I am peacefully moving along...

 

 

Breathe in, bring the hands forward,

breathe out, glide...

and repeat..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

LOVE AND SUPPORT:

 

 

 

My two best friends were with me today,

making the day full of joyful, happy moments.

Thank you!

 

 

When I prepared the smoothie,

I just couldn't help thinking about my sweetheart

... he goes crazy over fruit smoothies.

Wish you were here.

I love you so much.

 

 

 

I see you in my dreams

- and can't wait to see you in person again.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Okay, everybody.

 

 

I guess I'm on a good way now.

Hope to be able to continue in this spirit.

 

 

A huge THANK YOU to everybody who's in with me.

Remember:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(Oh yeah... this is supposed to look like me...

with about half - or a third - of my actual weight):

 

 

 

Blessings,
