We went away at the weekend. We were staying in a pod at Hoddam Castle and it was FAB. I was very relaxed about food. I ate chocolate, curry, mini scotch eggs and even a Macky Ds sausage and egg McMuffin, (horrible, never again - so greasy and awful! urgh - I didn't finish it!).
I fasted on Monday just to try and negate some of the damage done on Sat and Sun and it has done the trick as I'm a pound lighter than I was before we went!!!
Today is another fast day. Like I've said before, I tend not to plan them, however, Thursday and Saturdays are working out as pretty good days because I work all day Sat and work on a Thursday evening. We usually have things planned for the kids on a Thursday too which takes my mind off food but not so much today apart from our twice weekly dog walk with friends.
Our little dog has made a huge impact on our lives. If I could find the tape measure I'd measure my waist to see the good all the walking's doing but I've no idea where it's at, (not much good for a seamstress, eh!).
I won't 'officially' weigh myself again until next Thursday but so far, 16 lbs down.
I've only weighed myself three times which equates to two weeks and in that two weeks I've dropped 7 lbs.
Happy fasting!
I still enjoy coffee with milk and sugar on fast days. I'm VERY overweight so I have the 'luxury' if you like of being able to take in more calories and still lose weight. I know this will change as my calorie needs change, but I'm not in any mad hurry. I do want to be slim and I do want to be healthy but I want to do it in a way that doesn't make me run for the chocolate... 5 - 2 has given me nothing but positives so far. I even slept well after the last fast and wasn't famished at bed time - first time that's happened!
