Yesterday I consumed a total of 628 calories, a bit more than my 500 goal for a fasting day! I actually only ate 448 calories worth of food though, but three glasses of white wine topped up my calories.....I am on holiday after all!
My weight today is four pounds less than yesterday, which is quite surprising - 190 pounds. I can remember a couple months ago when I started this diet hoping and praying to see the 180's again, but never quite getting there.....what will tomorrow bring? About 12 years or so ago I weighed about 160 pounds, which for someone my height is a bit under weight. I think I'd be really happy to be 165-170, which would give me a BMI in the low 20's. Right now it's 24.5, which just barely scrapes by as normal.
As I'm doing the 5:2 plan, I'm going to use today as my other fast day this week as I don't have anything planned which might wear me out.
Yesterday the hunger came in waves - at one point at around 4:30pm I really did feel like I was going to cave. I got that horrible low blood sugar shaky feeling, the sort of feeling that usually causes me to have a mega carb pigout!
I hope I can get through it again today and then get back on a normal diet tomorrow again. I just don't want to spend two days restricting calories only to blow it by completely over-eating the next day! I'll have to be careful.
