Hi Guys
I've just started Fast 800 this week and, as usual, my mind turned immediately to the forums. I was reading through my old diary on here from 2012 and thought I should start a new one to keep me motivated.
I've just ended a relationship and found myself way heavier than I'm happy with so I've set myself a 2.5st loss goal to get my weight back down to pre-relationship levels. I'm joined by my housemate so we're not alone, but she is always better than me at dieting which is a little hard for my motivation (hence this thread). I have my starter weight noted down and will do a weekly check in on the scales.
Progress so far:
We kicked off Fast 800 on Tuesday. For the first two days I've had:
2/3 cups of tea per day (with milk)
Lunches: 2 boiled eggs on Tuesday | Leaves, slice of ham, 10 pistachios, olive oil, 3 mushrooms, 1 tomato on Wednesday
Dinners (from the app): Mince Lettuce "Tacos" ( Lettuce, red pepper, shredded carrot, cheddar, beef mince) on Tuesday | Beef Stir Fry (steak slices, bok choi, red pepper, another veg, soy sauce) on Wednesday
I haven't eaten lunch yet today but will probably go for a tin of tuna (120 cal) plus leaves, cucumber, some nut something, and a dollop of some cream or oil. For dinner we are going from the app for a cottage pie using mince and carrot and parsnip as the mash. my housemate will substitute for cauliflower mash.
I don't have breakfast on this plan and try to delay lunch as long as possible (post 13:30). Then we try to eat dinner by 19:30. This means that I am aiming for 18:6. My housemate will go lower on carbs than I will, but I will include things like lentils or parsnips (and of course the milk in my tea) as I prefer to ease into low carb.
One big stumbling block is that I have a week skiing from next Saturday. It's a catered holiday, so the diet is going to be completely out of the window, but I will try to make healthier choices (and will be exercising a lot). Will make weigh in date Saturday to Saturday so I can gauge the impact. It's not an ideal time to start, but as my housemate was good to go, I would rather start with her and then get back into it again after the trip.
Anyway, wanted to get it all written down - the first few weeks of these things are the hardest, so if I can keep this diary up beyond the end of the ski trip then I will have got over the major hump.
Thanks for reading - I always appreciate any other words of motivation, recipe suggestions, and how to cope with staying healthy on holiday.
