Thanks my love! The weekend was total carnage booze-wise...love our draft friends.

Feeling pretty good about where I am right now - I know I want to get a bit lower when I get back from hols but we have a lot going on in June, so I'm gonna be all about the 5:2 in June to maintain then hopefully get the last bit shifted in July so I'm where I want to be by my birthday :) xxx
 
Super healthy attitude Sarah. My plan is to maintain with 5:2/relaxed SW combo when I shift these last pesky 7lbs! It just makes it more achievable/sustainable I think!

Have you heard of the 5:2 fast beach diet? It's like a "pumped" up version of it with the idea to shift more weight quickly as a short-term fix (only 6 weeks!). I saw a few people hashtagging it on IG so googled it and it's only been released recently in run up to summer. Take a look online! There's also an amazing free app! xx
 
I have booze bloat too :)
But had a fab weekend too...
I am really thinking about this 5:2 as well as Sw on the lead up to my hols in 7 weeks.. I have a rather hectic social life weekend wise before then and wonder if this would help..
Do you find the fast days hard? X

What a night! In all the best ways. Amazing fast day dinner then Dave helped me do a Brazilian blow dry on my hair so I won't have a Monica shower curtain moment on holiday! Then I made a roasted tomato soup for lunches this week.

B - overnight oats with 1/2 hexb1 oats and strawbs
L - roasted cherry tom soup with hexb2 ryvita and 1/3 hexa light cheese triangle
D - BBQ pork (2 syns BBQ sauce in lettuce wraps with remaining hexa cheese
Snacks - banana, Lindt bunny (3), Alpen light (1/2 hexb1)

So ready for bed now! Only 4 sleeps til me-hi-co!xxx

Wow wow wow!!! how well have you done lovely

You looked amazing in your jumpsuit lovely pic
I can't believe in a few days you will be on your jollies how fab ;-)

I'd like lots of pics to see what a beautiful place I'm going to pretty please ;-)

Fast days are amazing I done some last week as I'm a greedy pig on weekends and needed something to balance it out!!
So jealous you've only got a few days to go I've got 20 DAYS get me there now I say Xxx
 
Awwwww you guys ;) I so desperately wanna see 10.0 on the scales before we fly, but let's face it, you're not going to see 2lbs difference when I've got a bikini on so I should stop obsessing.

Katie - there will be far too many pictures - I promise!

I can't believe it's only 3 more sleeps! Dave got the suitcases out last night so once I've had my nails done tonight, I shall be throwing things in there like a woman posessed!

Your weekend looked fabulous! So much fun! :D

I love how you drink champagne rather than cava/wine - I love champagne but never buy it!

Did your boys enjoy their bike ride?

You're a 5:2 superstar! xxxx
 
Lol - we only do when it's on offer, Jess. Sainsbury's had some last week that worked out at £8 a bottle and it was lush, so we stocked up.

Dave and the boys had a great time on their ride - the weather was amazing! Dave's knee is playing up now so he's off to the osteopath for some pain and some accupuncture to fix it. A week off the bike while we're on holiday will do him the world of good, I should think. They've got about 7 weeks until they cycle London to Brussels so he's got a while to get it sorted.

How so you make your over night oats, made my first lot and am not sure I have done it right my oats seem a bit dry. And do you fast on days when you are in work? Am trying to work out if I could mane to fast at work am not sure yet!
 
Hiya lovely,

Are you feeling better today?

I put some raspberries or sliced strawberries into the bottom of a Kilner jar or round tupperware, top with 1/2 a pot of Muller Light or Muller Greek. Sprinkle in my oats (this morning I just used 17g as 1/2 HEXB but you can use the whole lot), then top with the rest of the yoghurt and then with more fruit. Stick 'em in the fridge and the next day they are spot on. It does depend on how thick your yoghurt is - I don't think a Muller Greek would be enough to soak a full HEXB of oats, so you'd be better using a Muller Light as you get a bit more.

As for fast days, I always do them on work days - I definitely couldn't do one on a weekend. Although if you have a day off in the week, it might work for you? I sometimes do them on my work from home days so that I can prep low cal food a bit easier, but I did one yesterday in the office and it was fine :) There are quite a few of us on here combining SW with 5:2 so if you want some fast day inspiration, check out Lil or Ging's diaries too.

Hope this helps!

Lol...it sounds dodgy doing it myself, I know! One of my best friends is a hairdresser so he used to do them for me in the salon he worked in. Then he got made redundant so he used to buy the products and do them for me at home. He's now gone travelling and is living in Australia so I had to fend for myself! I did a bit of hairdressing back in the day too, so I did the cleansing, the sectioning and just let Dave paint on the solution and help me with straightening the very back. I did the rest myself. It's feeling fab today and I no longer have to worry about the Mexico humidity! xxx

I think I had a too big pot and not enough yoghurt I used the Aldi Greek one and think it is too thick.

My thoughts on fasting at work were to do it on days I do 2-10 and using all my cals for 1 meal on my break, because I work such varied hours think those days will be the easiest and as I do 2 a week would be easy to plan in. I don't know how I'd do on a day where I do 8-5 or 9-6 altho I could come home for lunch which would make it a bit easier I guess, I might try that if I get to grips with doing them on lates.
 
Yeah a 2-10 day would be perfect, I think. It's quite easy to make it through the morning on water alone then you could have something small before you start work (100 cals maybe?), then your big meal in your break, and you'll be ready for bed when you get home. Totally do-able hun. Look forward to hearing how you get on xx
 
I'm not doing a late until Monday and Tuesday now so will give it a go on one of those days and I am off on the Thursday so might try it then depending on how Monday goes, altho there is a wine tasting that day at work so maybe not the best idea.....

Have you got a recipe book had a quick look for a kindle one to have on my iPad, not sure if it is worth it or not?

Thank you for the advice, I am stuck in a bit of a rut I think and need to push through this plateaux xx
