Hey dude!
Aww thank you
It wasn't too difficult you know. But yeah, odd that I dunno if it would be easier to do a complete fast rather than bits of food. I read a few comments on various sites and it seems a lot of people have a very small, light breakfast and then a proper evening meal. Guess it's finding what works for you.
I was SO hungry by this lunch time lol. I was sensible and had a small breakfast before work, even though I felt sick, but the hunger crept in and claimed me lol! Treated myself to an extra sausage
Is cauliflower mash just that? Smushed up cauli? Salad would probably be way better than heavy veg, but I had non. Those microwave veg bags seem ok, the ones I have are around 75cals, so not too bad. I decided on 3 portions of broccoli & cauliflower instead
It's been interesting actually looking at the calories on things, because I just don't! Unless it's non-free food. But I thought maybe I could have a tin of mushy peas with my steak, coz they're quite filling. Noooooooooo! lol. Omg, over 100cals for half of one of those little tins
Must be the sugar in peas? I dunno. But yeah, it's been rather interesting! I bet stuff like WW jelly would be quite good too. Didn't think of that yday! They're super low calories aren't they?
5.5lbs off for me if you stick to my average loss would have taken me 11months?! I average 0.5lbs a month.... Obv sometimes I lose a lb or two a week but other times I don't or gain. So yeah, that's quite a miraculous loss tbf!! I'm very pleased. Almost excited about getting on the scales next week! Won't be till Wed though coz I have two days off next week for my birthday. Which I will be eating whatever the frick I wont on
I'm still adamant that I wouldn't cope cutting carbs so much. But you're right, on fast days you just can't have them! You could probably get away with a Mugshot or something, but yeah, no pasta mountains for me
Also means I wont be saving masses and masses of syns every week - obv not going to count syns from a fast day
Still might have a day or like a meal/evening off occasionally too when stuff comes up. Will just wing it for now.
I drank soooooo much yesterday! Also treated myself to a posh mint tea. Pukka stuff was on offer in Morrison's so I got the 3 mint one and it's gorgeous! I took a mug to bed with me last night and it's so nice and refreshing
I need to get some rooibos from somewhere, there weren't any nice ones on offer in Morrison's. Sainsbury's is quite good for 'posh' tea.
Tea really helps! Well, any warm liquid really helps with hunger - as I discovered last week
That'd probably be my top tip for fasting. Plenty of fluids, esp something warm. Stops you're stomach sounding like an angry dinosaur
Work was ok this morning. Back on reception! It was "Preventive day" today, which means we mostly only see vaccinations and spay/castrate checks. And all the ops were spays or castrates. We have to do these every so often otherwise the waiting list is months and months! We do them routinely anyway, but they're getting more and more popular. Which is awesome! Means the charity is making more money - you have to pay for preventive stuff - and it means the pets are getting happier and healthier
I did the front desk for the first 2 hours and then the phones for 40mins after my break. When I was on the phone virtually every call was about neutering or vaccinations. When I did get a regular appointment call I was kinda like "Oh, you pet is actually sick, ok then..." Lol!
Feeling a bit more comfortable at the front now and with the computer system again. I just know that once this training session is done the only time I'll do reception is during Out of hours or if they're short staffed. So I'll have forgotten it all by then
Just had my lunch and I need to clean out the bunnies in a bit. Going the cinema with Mum later too
Food in a min...
