The second proteine diet, day 5.

Breakfast. Gotta say, these  shakers mix pretty OK. Better than sirring with a fork or something.

This is a new model Mercedes and I love it totally. What a beautiful design. I love the front but I love the back even more. It's almost a "fastback".

My colleague Alex borrowed me this drill and drill-bit to make holes for the new led ceiling lights we bought. Drilling the 2 holes seemed quite hard because I couldn't keep the drill centered as there already is a large hole. They just need to be made larger.

For lunch I had some mushroom soup with pasta. It wasn't bad actually.

And... I got another warrior, a super rare one :-)

The second proteine diet, day 4.

This morning I got unpleasantly surprised by 2 big trucks and a load of workmen circling around the tree in front of my house. I immediately went outside to ask them what they were going to do. It appeared that this tree is rotting near the bottom and has a high risk of being blown over during a heavy storm. So that's that. The council had stuck a note on the tree but on the side so that I never saw it. It's a real shame because it's a beautiful and rather large tree and it makes the canal I live on very green in summer. I'm quite sure it will be replaced but a tree also is 'life' and I'm always sad when they cut a tree down. I don't even like throwing away plants...

Just before 8AM they started cutting it up in pieces. Very efficient. I'm sure it will be totally gone in an hour or so.

There goes the first branch.

While one truck reaches for the next branch, the other one cuts up the previous branch.

And then it was business as usual again. Take the ferry to work. The boy on the right looked like he was not yet ready for today ;-)

I had this soup for lunch. It's diet soup. Spinach and chicken I believe.

Walking to Simone's house I spotted this tree a few times before. I like it a lot. It looks like fireworks :-)

Still playing, still getting new warriors, still enjoy this game :-)

The second proteine diet, day 3.

Holiday season is closing in on us with more and more little lights being put up everywhere :-)

I had to see the dentist for a checkup tonight. I walked past the old Heineken brewery.

And then a little dieting update: I have lost 3 kilos in 2 days according to the scale this morning. Pretty awesome! I'm feeling OK.

The second proteine diet, day 2.

This is my mid-afternoon snack. They're actually very nice candy bars!

The second proteine diet, day 1.

So, today I'm starting another period of dieting. I'm going to do the same diet as I did before the summer and I hope to loose another 10 kilos. This was my breakfast.

It's really cold in the mornings now. This is water close to Simone's house. It looked very nice.

Lunch! I also had cucumber later and a diet-candybar.

I had to put in some overtime so I left work around 8PM.

When I got home I made some chili, also from a diet-packet of course ;-)

The second diet starts tomorrow!

My last treat for the next few weeks...

I'll be eating from this box for a while now and I hope to loose about 10 kilo's more. Fingers crossed.

The mushrooms

Simone, Larissa, Milan and I went for a walk in the dunes today. The weather was soft for this time of year and there was a faint sun, pretty nice for a little walk  and some fresh air!

Just enough sun to keep the cold away.

We walked past an airstrip for gliders.

There were mushrooms everywhere.

And more mushrooms.

And little wild trees.

Walking past the airstrip.

Tiny little mushroom.

And more...

And more...

Tiny tiny tiny...
