More news... the team's hard work is well rewarded, what a joy... To see that, what we do, attracts respectable and respected brands as well as our thousands of clients across the world makes us proud of our labors and of the direction taken.

After a good night, feeling good... its the big back-to-school day today... its all about giving the right impetus in order to start school on the right foot!

So, fresh lemon juice in room temperature water, to make sure we don't destroy its vitamin C, Rooibos tea, get the wonder kid ready... I grab my phone, Nestle (not the cereals, the cockapoo :) and we're off for an hours walk on an empty stomach during witch I slot in the morning conference calls with my team, journalists and other important people like my clients for example.

Nestle Fitness! That's it the boxes are on the shelves!!!

After weeks of total secrecy... the Nestle project can finally be announced publicly... and we cannot be discreet anymore since the Nestle Breakfast Cereal boxes are on sale all over France... and you can clearly see me on them... awaiting the second part of the Nestle project to be released, I will announce it soon :)

I am very happy as the product is whole wheat based and the sugar levels are very low... a mass market product, that pleases the boot.camper that I am!

A very good intensive day here... first with 2 interviews to begin the day on a right foot.

Breakfast: 1 home made carrot/apple juice + a few raw linseed crackers (home made of course)

what a coincidence... imagine if I had called it K...!!

Dinner: 6 scallops + corn salad + 1 soya yogurt and 2 tbs granola for the sweetness I love finishing my meals with

100 abs on the killer abs lounge I dust off for the occasion

100 nut crackers

A very long very sporty week-end

Nothing beats a few days away from everything, (nearly) without any daily connection with civilisation, to recharge our batteries.

On the program, a day with 6 hours intense hiking at 8500 feet including the ascent of 2 peaks. What pleasure to settle down at the end of the day and to savour the efforts of the day and, more importantly, enjoy the view!... well the views, plural.

The next day, it is Flume Trail... and here is the view, breathtakingly beautiful. The 33km mountain bike ride had some pretty impressive ascents,... right from the start, first ride uphill goes on for 3km... just to brake us in, as a warm up... but after the exertion we discover spectacular views, trails on the mountain side where the slightest distraction can send us flying down the hill... so, we leave blackberrys and other iPods to rest... we concentrate and, most of all, we reconnect with nature. The long ride burned more than 3500 calories!

Now, I am back... and what a return... I'll put everything in detail in tomorrow's post :)

The "no keys" diet, it's new, it's just come out ;-)

A little boxing to let off some steam... and a great Spanish film based on a mathematical enigma... The Goldbach Conjecture... it stipulates that any even number greater than or equal to 4 can be expressed as the sum of two primes (the same prime can be used more than once). It is one of the oldest unresolved mathematics and number theory problems.
