Okay, so date went well from my perspective, now just to see if he wants to move to a second date...
As for food, we didn't eat out - just went for coffee (and talked for three and a half hours!), so I had some left over macaroni cheese when I got home, only because its supposed to be an up day, I didn't really feel like it. In fact, I've not been very hungry at all today, and found it much easier to notice when I am feeling full, and that's after just one day of fasting - how cool is that!
so today
Breakfast - 1am, 4 chipolatas, one slice of bread, salsa
10am - one third of my green smoothie (wasn't keen)
12.30 fry up, yum! At Boston tea party cafe - sausage, bacon, scrambled egg, grilled tomatoes, baked beans, 1 slice granary toast
2.30 small soya latte
6pm small glass of white wine
9pm small bowl of macaroni cheese
cals 1935
carbs 149g
Exercise: 20 min interval training - 8 x 30s hill repeats @ 7MPH, 1 min rests in between

Okay, it's not an official weigh in, but I get on the scales every morning and this morning they said....11.8!!!! That's 12lbs down in less than a week! Shock! But it's not official so I'm going to have to put it aside....

I'm like a different person at the moment! Partly because of the sun and I don't have to be at work, and maybe because I no longer try and overly control my diet on up days, but I'm actually choosing to have salad & fruit on an up day. Weird! And go for a run tonight on my rest day! Weird!
Just had my hair done which is really helping too
feeling goooood for the first time in months.

I had it "relaxed" which basically is supposed to straighten it but its already beginning to curl! Still that was after a 5 mile run in the heat when it would otherwise have turned into a frizzy mess!

Thanks Stef! It worked quite well, I went running today and it didn't frizz up which made a nice change! Long may it last!
As I was heading off on a weeks Bootcamp today I thought I'd better have a good brunch to set me up for a week of intense exercise and 1200 cals a day.
Brunch: massive fry up! 2 eggs, 2 rashers bacon, half a sausage, baked beans, mushroom, grilled tomatoes, thick slice of granary toast, coffee with semi skimmed milk
Dinner (at bootcamp) small portion of bolognese sauce, courgette ribbons, herbal tea
lots of water
exercise - 2km run in 13.12 - this was the arrive at Bootcamp fitness test, I came 5th out of 21 ladies present. I would have liked to have gone a little faster but it was hot and my legs felt quite heavy.
Have to be all present and correct for a Pre breakfast exercise session at 6.30am, so better get an early night

30 min boxercise
10.30am snack - half a devilled egg with a few leaves of rocket
11am 1.5 hr military style circuits - warm up jog, stations included prisoner walk with bar over head, commando crawl, tug of war, throwing weighted bags, shuttle runs with weighted bags and equipment etc.

Thanks for posting!
Well I won't keep this level of exercise up, and I'll return to eat stop eat when I get back from bootcamp, but we're doing so much exercise and eating a lot less (1200-1500 cals) it wouldn't be practical or healthy. This is just a kick start - Ill know on Friday weigh in whether its paid off
