DIET PLAN

Though I don’t really have a weight problem I don’t like the idea of stuffing snacks and sweets into my body uncontrolled. This leads to the consumption of additional, unnecessary calories. That’s the reason why a friend and I invented a simple “diet plan”. It works like this: you’d get 3 so called smiley cards per week. Each of them could be exchanged against a piece of sweets or a snack (the amount should be fair: approx 80g of chocolate or a comparable amount of a snack). This means that you are allowed to eat these nice things 3 times per week. If you eat more, you’ll get one of the so called skull cards per piece. The reset is once per week. You’ll get 3 new smiley cards and the skull cards will be set to nill again. Then you have to decide on your personal scarify. For each of the skull cards you have to do something that hurts. We decided for additional waist workouts at the gym.
Of course the amounts and time frames are adaptable. We discovered that this habit works very well. At least you’d get an impression of the amount of “forbidden stuff” you eat.

If you’re interested in the template, I could send it to you. Simply leave me a comment.

RAIN DRIVE

I had a late meeting in HAMBURG last week so I did leave work lately, that day. What one normally would expect is that you start driving during daylight and when you arrive home that it possibly got dark. But this time it was the way round, as I started my ride it was pitch dark in terms of having huge thunder clouds. The more I got north the more the sky cleared up. At the end I saw the sun  . It was a great ride with brilliant sky scenes.

NO MOUNTAIN TRAILS II

I did some further trials with the oregon action cam, and I have to say it’s really nice. This time I inserted a 2GB SD card, with that you can record up to 1h at 30 frames per second and a resolution of 640x480. That’s enough from my point of view.

NO MOUNTAIN TRAILS

I don’t really care that I got no high mountains nearby. As long as I’ll find some dirt trails I’m fine with that. Today I tried my new OREGON ACTION CAM. It’s nice. It is 3m waterproof and comes along with a substantial mount kit. Beyond that it runs with standard rechargeable batteries. The video (it also records audio) format is *.avi with up to 30 frames per second and a resolution of 640x480. Find the result below:

SPRING!

It’s getting warmer in Germany and that’s good. It’s good because the bike season gets nicer from day to day. I had been out for a ride with my bike recently and it made big fun. Though it was kind of muddy in the forest it was an exiting tour.
