Counting Calories and 5:2

[Em3190]

So this week is turning out to be a nightmare eatingwise! I had a good day yesterday then went to my friends for a roast and a pancake. Tonight I'm of to the noodle bar with friends (rescheduled from last week). Tomorrow I am off to London for the day to watch the cirque du soleil so out for dinner.

So I have swapped my fast day to Friday, I might fit another in on Sunday to try and balance my bad days. I think as long as I stay the same weight wise this week then I will be happy!!

That sounds like a good plan and also a great attitude to have! Good luck lovely xx

I had such a lovely day in London, the cirque du soleil was incredible! Food wasn't too bad, we went to jamie Oliver's restaurant lunchtime and I had a rare beef salad and half a chocolate brownie. The bit that went wrong was when I got in at 9 I was starving and wolfed four slices of cheese of toast

Today is a fast day and I definitely need it! Back to normal for now on!!

It's a good plan when you can swap your fast days around. It means you can fit it in with everyday life Cirque de Soleil sounds fab, I'd love to go and see it! Well done on your 2lb loss too.

Thank you! The boss bought Krispy Kreme doughnuts and I have resisted, I have taken one not to be rude and will give it to the other half when I get home.

I forgot to say, I have given up coffee for lent and it's bloody hard two days down lol

 

[BeaBeas]

I always think Krispy Kreme always look nicer than they taste! I was considering giving up coffee for lent but then decided I don't have the willpower. Well done for taking the plunge

 

[Em3190]

So I did well with my fast day Friday finishing on 446, having nothing but salmon salad in the evening. I resisted the temptation of Krispy Kremes in the morning, a lunch on the boss and cakes for someone's birthday in the afternoon and felt very proud.

Yesterday we went to chiquitos for dinner and went into town for a few rums. During the day I walked along the beach with the dog to try and burn some of the calories

I'm feeling like I need to rein it in and get back to being strict again. Here's to a good day!

Today's fasting diary:

Your dinner sounds lush! I'd love to live near the coast. My partner is from a coastal area and I love visiting. He thinks it's funny when I get excited about seeing the sea haha. Where abouts do you live?

 

[Em3190]

Was you not? I loved it!

I live in Essex so the coast is only a 40min drive, I love a long walk with the dogs. I'm doing the local midnight walk at Easter so I need to make sure I train for it, don't want to embarrass myself trying to walk 8 miles

 

[Em3190]

So yesterday wasn't exactly the greatest food wise but I didn't go over my 2000 for a feast day.

I had an all day meeting at work and ate sandwiches and crisps then we went to see a pink floyd tribute band in the evening and got caught in traffic so had to have a small portion of chips for dinner. Not a lot of food, but what I did have was crap.

Fast day today, and the plan is a lot of veggies to make up for yesterday!

 

[Em3190]

Finished my fast day today on 487 calories today and I feel great!! I feel like I have made up for yesterday's bad planning too

Lunch: King prawn salad with a light French dressing (172kcal)

Dinner: Grilled chicken salad with chilli sauce (274kcal)
