Fasting

[jazzkat]

I had a week off when I was on holiday, but otherwise, yes I'm still doing it.

Just had a week off it due to feeling sorry for myself and my bad shoulder. Back on it today, haven't eaten as yet and even commuted on my empty stomach, which was fine. Looking forward to tea though.

I did my fast on Saturday but I cheated just a little - after a 2.5 hour hilly walk, I shared a toasted teacake and jam with my walking partner. That was on top of what I had intended to eat for the day (some low fat natural yoghurt, a banana, 3 strawberries in the morning; a salad with a tin of tuna in the evening).

It felt good to eat less for a change.

Looking forward to the home bakery opening in the morning

Still on it and still losing - finally hit that line between overweight on Tuesday morning.... then I had to eat something!

Mon and Wed so far this week will probably chuck in Saturday as well.

Did day 3 yesterday of a 4:3 I have definitely plateaued but a colleague said to me yesterday, what is with all this weight you are losing but I've only lost a stone. I might do low carb on feast days.

I have plateaued twice on the woe, but both times I have lost inches rather than weight. This might be why your colleague has mentioned the weight loss, as they can see it physically rather than the scales moving.

l found exactly the same... cutting new notches on the belt but scales not budging . extra riding was swapping blubber for muscle.

Fasting today, haven't eaten as yet will eat about 7pm and managed a good (for me) exercise day. I did 15m hilly ride and a 5m walk around the red route in the QE2 country park, which starts off with a big hill. Feeling good for it though.

Completed this week for the first time since before the summer, shall try to get the routine going again.

Second fast day of the second week! Chugging the coffee to stave off the pangs but not finding it too tough, just need to think of something light on calories to eat when the wife gets home from work.. any suggestions?

If you are talking about for this evening, skinless chicken breast with cauliflower and broccoli mash is good. About 400 cals for 250 gm chicken and loads of veg.

Does anyone else feel a bit weird the day after a fast? I often find I feel a bit edgy and have an odd taste in my mouth, like I have drunk too much coffee. I do actually drink a lot of coffee, so it might be that, but I don't feel it on other days.

 

[The Jogger]

No, I just feel elated I can eat what I want
