Had a weigh-in today with the nurse. In 5 weeks I’ve lost almost 8kg and 4cm from around the belly. Face is starting to look less bloated. Massive progress. Broke fast after this - 18 hours too, with a 500 calorie/40g of protein dish of left overs with added smoked tofu.

So after 8 days on the new me diet I’ve lost 2.9kg. Eating two meals a day. Getting around 90g of protein with a 800 daily calorie deficit. Not bad for a fully vegan diet too. Some of my very filling meals. TVP arriving this week - so I’ve got to experiment with more new food options.

Off to a fab start.

Just some of our meals this week. I’m fasting 17 hours a day. Two meals only. And in a calorie deficit of around 800/1000 a day. Trying to get the protein up.

So my weight has been fluctuating. A lot. In 16 years I’ve gain 60lbs. Back in 2011 I was running half marathons. Enough. So last month I spoke to my doctor, did lots of bloods. Found out I’m deficient in Vit D. Have a dietitian & in a weight loss clinic & have a therapist. Diet started last week.

What a great result. Interesting decision to go on SVT Play for the last part. I see it’s on SVT24 still. #Melfest

I’m on vacation but had a sick day yesterday. A migrate which floored me for a while. I open LinkedIn today and I’m met with an advert for migrate treatment.

That was a very fast week in Minneapolis with work. Zero jet lag as I kept to my usual Irish hours, bed between 4am and 5am and up for 10am. Which in MN meant bed for 11pm and awake by 4am. It was perfect. Now it’s time to head home. Decided to upgrade to business using Avios.

Nice touch from Club Avolta. Usually when roaming you can not receive an SMS. The allow you to authenticate with WhatsApp. Nicely done.

Saw #Evita tonight. Closing night. Lost for words. The way they produced the balcony scene. Thousands outside. Stunning performance. A ten minute standing ovation.

As we leave Basel - the city opened its arms. A neighbour on our street stopped to thank us for visiting. Scrolling on transport real time are messages thanking fans for visiting. And on trams there are multilingual screens saying thanks again for visiting. A wondering parting touch.

Down at the Eurovision arena for semi two. Security much tighter. My trusty Irish flag which NRK of Norway gave me during the filing of the Irish postcard for Niamh was taken off me. It’s seen lots of Eurovisions. And ceremonial dumped in the bin. Inside at least. Security is tight.

A daytime rave. In a church. In Switzerland. For Eurovision. Okay it’s empty as everyone is outside in the sun. Random!

It’s a veggie Christmas for me. Spending it with my sister later. My niece is also veggie. So I’ve prepared three mains and all the trimmings. Cooling for transport and a late afternoon Christmas dinner.

Hotel Chocolat was due to close its doors 31 December - popped in now and it’s gone already. Loved the brand. Shame to see it fail and close.
