Love the photos – however agree with you that the colours of winter can be very sombre. I would find that difficult to deal with. However – it must be wonderful when things start to turn to spring.
On diet – there is a big push in Australia for the 5 and 2 diet. Which is basically eat normally and reasonably 5 days a week and eat restricted calories (about 500) on 2 non-consecutive days per week. For some people it has quite remarkable health and weight benefits – I worked with someone who went off his cholesterol medication which he had been taking for years as well as losing significant weight. For others, like me, the weight benefits have been minimal only so I think it depends alot on your own metabolism and body. However is a tolerable approach in that the ‘pain’only comes in 1 day blocks.

Thanks for that tip Judy, I will definitely look into the 5 and 2 idea some more. Sounds quite doable and more up my alley than a full-on plan.
