I decided that I would weight myself every Thursday. Well, I've cheated and weighed myself this morning, (it's Saturday).
I'm pleased to report that since coming home from our hols I've lost 15lbs. I've gone down through two sets of stones and I'm chuffed to bits.
Seeing the numbers on the scales decrease is really giving me a boost. I just couldn't reach this point with Slimming World or with 'healthy eating'... 5-2 has, however, given me the boost I need, (I hope!).
Our new family member has made a huge difference too. She's tiny, she's hairy, she's a dog called Roxy! I am totally in love with her. She's glorious and taking her for walkies is improving the health of the entire family!
I've only fasted once this week and I found it hard again. It 'is' hard though! Not as hard as 'dieting' 24 - 7 that's for sure but it still takes a lot not to eat when you feel famished! I find that I'm OK until about 4.30 or 5 pm then I start to feel as though I really need to eat. The problem with eating is that it makes you even hungrier!!!!!! I say 'problem' it's not a problem. It's a challenge but it's one that can be overcome. If I can do this anyone can do it - that simple. I am also starting to find that none fast days are no longer all about food. I am happier, certainly healthier, lighter and looking forward to the future. Bring it on!!!!!!!!
We are going camping this weekend so I don't think I'll be doing another fast day this week which is a shame. I left it too late for the first fast, (Thursday) and now I've kind of ran out of days!!! Unless today is a fast day............. we are going to be busy so I might just go for it!
