Sun rise on the bird feeding station
I love the winter here. If I am lucky with the weather i get to see the sun rise and the sun set, and this is a photo of a beautiful sun rise through a tree that serves as a safe feeding place for the birds.
Fat balls, sunflower seeds and peanuts are currently very popular.! which leads me onto the diet.
Until now that has been going well for both of us, as some simple lifestyle changes have in my case led to an average(much needed!) weight loss of 1 kg per week. Plus i am starting to feel more energetic..for free!
I have concluded it would be possible to loose more weight each week, but I am looking for a sustainable weght loss that is easy to achieve and which will result in a lasting balance between what is good for me and what is hopefully a bit better for the planet,
We are talking about adjustments in lifestyle here, not at this stage total abstinance, and I am deliberately not exercising harder as I wish to see how reducing certain types of food has an impact on how i loose weght and feel.
It is a lifestyle experiment but it certainly is not rocket science, and after 10 weeks I will know if it has had the transformative effect I hope for..
Meanwhile the break in the weather here has allowed me to hang up 6 brand new bird box's and plant a lot of allium bulbs in various pots, and to plan a few changes to my bit of the world renovation project.
Small changes. but hopefully they will compound with other small changes over time to really boost the biodiversity around here.
