Aaaand I am back on
the wagon again – and back online too! I will post later where I have been in
the past two weeks (it was FUUUN!!!), but right now just a little update.
Today is day 76 of
Meta for me and I can’t wait to finish level 8. Honestly. It’s been too long
already.
Yesterday we finally
reached our little hide-out in Switzerland – yes in the Swiss Alps… (told you,
the story will be interesting, and with lots of pics :) ) It’s breathtaking!
Really!

| The Swiss Alps! On the way to the town Nendaz |
We have a little
chalet in a little village in Nendaz with an extremely picturesque view towards
the villages resting on the mountain sides and the high picks with still some
snow. Beautiful. But as villages go, there isn’t much to do: there is one
restaurant about half an hour walk from here, and a café. We don’t have
internet (I am writing this in an “off-line mode” and will publish it when I do
have access to Internet), we have to stack our fridge with yummy and healthy
things, we have had some arguments about it too. I can’t imagine how those of
you who live with husbands and kids manage to diet! Living on your own means
you just have to fight your own vices, with people around it means you also
have to jungle the family food and not get tempted to eat more than strictly
necessary. And to be honest, I can’t even imagine following the TA dynamic
eating plan when you have a family!!! Respect to you all!
The chalet we have is
pretty small (just a kitchen-living room downstairs, bedroom, bathroom and a
tiny extra room upstairs – and I mean everything is really small, so don’t
snort when you hear about all those rooms), so there isn’t much space for me to
work out. MS might be possible to fit somewhere when some furniture is moved
out of the way, but DC? Forget it! So what do you think I did? :) I worked out
outside!!! Yes, I am dependent on the weather and if it rains I’m kinda
screwed. But how often do you have a chance to work out in the fresh mountain
air, have a breathtaking inspiring view – and so simple, you just need to walk
out of the back door. I am totally enjoying it! But weather is indeed a factor:
I started my workout around 10am, and it was already sunny and warm. And
believe it or not, after 5 minutes of DC I was sweating and breathless, hot and
sticky. I don’t know if that is because of the break I had in DC (perhaps, partially),
but I think it is mostly because of the sun. The workout gets extremely
challenging in the sun!!! I managed to do 20 minutes DC, and then moved the MS
to the shadow of a little bush. :) But I did it!
I felt great! Finally
getting back to the daily workouts is great. I love it. I woke up with a smile
and was sooooo looking forward to the workout. May be some breaks are sometimes
necessary for us to start feeling better about the workouts? :)
Coming soon: our
wonderful holiday in Italy and the different type of workout you can get there,
lots and lots of pics, and soon soon soon some new results! (I have my
measuring tape, my camera and new bikini – wohoo!) Stay tuned!
