Have had a good weekend food wise .. And scales dropped again this morning.

 

[Mis-behave]

Scales dropped again today, only a little bit ! But it all helps

Hungry today - recon its the cold and the fact I'm still lacking energy from when my youngest son was sick - and slept badly

Glad the scales are moving, every little bit helps.


I'm hungry today as well, I am fasting and struggling today. I don't think the weather is helping.

Have been "hungry" today - craving carbs - I think due to the weather, and general lack energy

So had various things including dried fruit, dark choc.. My choc coconut cookies (no real sugar in them) - in the end I had one of the gluten free hot cross buns .. They were ok, but not fantastic - glad I had one as my "head" had been thinking about them lol now it knows they not worth thinking about .. Also took 2 glutamine tables - which are meant to help with carb cravings

Ok I need to go to the supermarket - no salad.. Except lettuce

Lunch: 2 egg omelette, mushrooms, lettuce cooked in little bit butter and swish mayo on lettuce (1tsp ish)

Dinner still looks to be what I've planned

Are you aiming to fast on that level of cals? The book I've got says 500 for a woman, damn hard though but I managed it & so on monday will just remind myself I've done it once & can do it again!

I'm keeping trying to stay to the 500 - yesterday I made a mistake with having the cream with the fruit - didn't check the cals in it before I added 1 spoon - also didn't look at the label ! Silly mistake really - I had bought some soup to have as well, ah well lesson learnt lol always next time .. I also got really cold - I had turned the heating down, day before. Which didn't help when I was cooking dinner for everyone else.

Which 5:2 are you following? There seem to be so many

 

[Mis-behave]

Which 5:2 are you following? There seem to be so many

I read the book 5:2 written by Dr Mosley
So I know the limit should be 500 kcals on a fast day just struggle keeping it that low, but am getting better each time I do it lol if I had not made the mistake with the cream I prob could have coped

2 fast days a week - but not in a row - did Tuesday and Thursday kcals a bit higher than 500

I'm thinking a soup/ broth would work well on fasting days .. I've kind of got over the soup and toast habit lol

Same book I have... I'm making red pepper & tomato soup tomorrow in prep for next week & will freeze it in batches, works out at 60 cals per serving
