[KittyBling]

Well done on no crisps, they are a real downfall for me.

 

[Mis-behave]

Well done!!

 

[carrieclaus]

That's excellent Lexie. Massive congrats. I'm a crisp fiend so now buy flavours I don't like haha xxx

 

[Lexie2005]

I admit I could still happily chomp my way through 10 bags & want more!!!

 

[Lexie2005]

Well f&b breakfast did no harm. I'm actually less today 11:2:0 but I'm guessing that's totm related & so good day planned today & may even go to the gym this afternoon, depends how I feel after work

Aw thank you, this is my second diary my first was in another forum when I started off at 19st x

Oh I just left it Kitty what's the point? He was quite cute yesterday running me about & we went to visit dad. I'm sure I'll throw it at him in an argument one day lol x

Wow, that's amazing!! You must be very proud of yourself! Well done. I'm hoping to get some inspiration from the diaries on here. I go between WW & 5:2 Iv done Ww for years then in past year tried 5:2 which I found surprisingly easy considering I couldn't go for 5 minutes without thinking about food, let alone fast!! But am struggling since Xmas. With one thing & another Iv decided to cut down this week with a fast mon & Fri, then back to my running 3 times a week & hopefully shift a stone & a half in time for summer. So am really inspired by your diary & if you don't mind, I'll be pinching some of your food ideas! I think it's great how you can cook & bake all those wonderful goodies & be so disciplined that you don't dive straight into them, the temptation would be just too great for me I'm afraid :-(

I did ww on & off for about 15 years. I got to hola when I was 20 then over the years piled it on. 5:2 is by far the best thing I have ever done & apart from my 2 fast days when obviously I'm hungry I don't feel deprived. Feel free to help yourself to recipes. If you haven't already got it there's a great app called yummly where you can put in filters (ie under 300 cals) I also have lots of cool books. As for the baking I luckily don't have a sweet tooth at all so I can manage it fine. If it was sausage rolls or something like that they wouldn't be around long enough to photograph

 

[Lexie2005]

Nice day today but I am stuffed! Just had a roast chicken dinner - about 900 cals worth but I had the cals (all bar about 10) but am reeeeeeeally full but in a happy way. Fast tomorrow & menu planned for the whole week. Tomorrow I start my 5k training when I get home from work before I go to school to pick my boy up all sweaty no doubt lol

Oh & hubby well & truly forgiven as he has dismantled a desk that means I can start sorting out my junk, sorry I mean spare bedroom. I'm majorly excited about it lol

 

[Lexie2005]

Starting my 5k training tomorrow. I posted on FB about it & then one of the school mums who is a Zumba instructor text me to ask if we can train together - I was planning on doing it on my own but maybe a buddy will keep me motivated... Hope so anyway

 

[KittyBling]

Always good to have a partner in pain, err sorry I mean exercise

 

[Lexie2005]

Kitty you were right! 6ft peoples strides are sooooo much longer than mine. But we did it but was so cold I'm thinking I may suffer tomorrow. But glad I did it (remind me in the morning please) & a good fast day should be mid 400s & scales were 11:2:5 this morning which after 4 up days I was thrilled with

Tonight's tea potato & mushroom hash

 

[2014forgoal]

mmm...looks lovely Lexie
