Inventory “krone” – 40 days of fasting: exemption was more difficult than expected

Lent ends on the Holy Saturday – also for our seven editors. At the end of the self -test “Styrian Crown” they make a summary. It shows that most of them want to find the right measure, but some are convinced that they can retain their lent resolution in the long term.

40 days without meat, 40 days without sausage, 40 days without cola. Is that possible? Yes, from Couse! Especially if one day a week continues to fast. I collected, some of them canceled and eventually exchanged. Sinned? I don’t have time! Fasting meat has many advantages: it is good to eat more vegetables and many more fish than normal. And it should also be healthy. A life without cola is not a performance for me anyway. A life without flesh and sausage – I couldn’t imagine that. A potato goulash tastes much better with Braunschweiger pieces. Easter without g’selchtes? Completely unimaginable! Fortunately Easter!

A lurking evening with your best friend at Kaiser-Josef-Platz, a date with good food, the celebration in the company: it doesn’t always have to be alcohol! I take that sober challenge. The “day after” feels better if you have drunk a little. Failure in the sense of health is good – but sometimes a balanced life also means sitting longer, consciously enjoying, creating memories with friends and family. And there is a role of wine and a cocktail occasionally. In the future I will no longer demonize alcohol, but still try to consume consciously and more moderately.

40 days without snacking: for someone who is holy for his daily chocolate knife, a victim. However: none that is long experienced as such, then it is really a victory. Because it feels so good if you put the inner bastard under control (a few “hackers”, as is known, happened) and eventually under control. And: because you deal with alternatives. Mix a yogurt with puree itself, so good! My internship of our editorial project: I will continue to eat candy, but as an exception, no longer as a rule. I actually look forward to the first styric strawberries than on the chocolate bunny.

The fact that the Graz airport is easily accessible without a car and Koralbahn was one of the many AHA experiences that gave me the car-free time. But I have not only learned a lot about the Styrian S-Bahn network, but also about the bus and BIM, as well as the (incomplete) Cyclus Pad network in my hometown Graz now I know very well. Another plus of the 40-day experiment: I have achieved my daily 10,000 step destination much more often than before, which is good for the spirit, especially after a long working day. Nevertheless: you just need a car for certain distances, especially when it comes to the proverbial “child and cone”.

First of all on the way to those who succeed in leaving for a little more than a month. I would like this consequence. 40 days on the cigarette, which offers me a quick energy staircase in the stressful day -day work, it seemed impossible from the start. In the end it was too, I sinned every two to three days. Nevertheless, I can take a positive balance. When you have done a day without the large truck, you are inspired by feelings of happiness. I also enjoyed being part of a joint effort. It is easier in the “Krone” team. Again next year – I will try meat!

It is achieved, I (almost) he broke out for 40 days. In retrospect I can say: that brought it completely! Because at least I can imagine that it went up, both with the condition and the muscle strength in leg and buttocks. And even if it is just an imagination, at least it made me feel good. I would like to keep that in the future. I do not want to completely promise whether the lift cancellation is actually lived as intensely as recently. However, after I usually preferred the steps earlier, it will stay that way. Expect small slipping.

I also fought myself badly than precisely because of this lent time. The moments of success were quite rare. Feelings of happiness, of which the valued colleagues write on these pages, did not set up despite the persistent search. On the contrary, those days that I had no coffee in the morning, usually ran relatively fast. Avoiding without necessary is really not mine – and actually life is far too short anyway. However, the “legal” coffee tastes excellent – only that in Graz de Cappuccino already costs more than four euros in many places, you lead almost quickly.
