Though I would start this weeks post...sorry it's a little late. It's nice to look back on each week to see where we've been.
Today is a fasting day for me and I am all planned out!! On the weekend I was a complete cookie monster
. Note to self...only buy cookies that the kids like, but I don't; this will help my cookie binging...
To all of you fasting today, have a great cleanse and to those who aren't
...just joking!

I'm fasting today. It's cold and snowy here in NE Ohio (USA) and I just want to hibernate and eat... So, I think I'll have some more HOT tea and another cup of water, lol0

I'm here fasting with ya! Let's get this par-tay started.
5.5 weeks until NYE! Tried on my dress I'm wearing for a wedding that day and I'm excited. I wore it last year for another party with 30 more pounds on me, so it's a lot more fun this time :P0 -
Not sure why there are two posts for this week0

Not quite done yet, but had a good fast day today.
I also started this morning at 58kg. That hasn't happened in a while on a Monday. I tend to retain 1-3lb of water over the weekend and the last month or so Monday was always over 58.5. Anyway, starting a fast at 58 is great for me and with another fast planned for Wednesday, I should make my goal of going to the makeover at 57kg on Thursday. I'm very happy with that as 56.6kg was the lowest I achieved and I seem to be getting back there.
Have a great week!0 -
Just finished my fast with egg and green beans. Still feel a bit hungry, but I will continue to chat..."I can eat tomorrow" in my head until I go to sleep. Have a great Monday everyone

Yes keep that inner dialogue going! Tomorrow you can eat to your TDEE (I almost said hearts content but realized that could be far too much food!!)

Fast day for me as well. Keep it going everyone. You are stronger than you know.

I don't know what it is about eggs and green beans that makes me want to giggle. I am trying to imagine them on a plate together and it they seem like such an odd couple. Maybe I better just stop right here...
Yes, the wonderful thing about 5:2 is that the suffering is not all week, 24/7. Love it.0 -
Migraine for me today, and all I've done is eat......
Never mind tomorrow is a new day, and a fast day.0 -
Yesterday was a fast day for me. Today I was starving and I've been eating all day, peanut butter, cashews, oranges, bananas... I don't know why the thought of a potato or pasta or any kind of meat is completely unappealing at the moment, but I'm shoveling nuts and fruit into my mouth like there's no tomorrow. I am right at my TDEE but still really tempted to go back to the cupboard where I know I've got some nice almonds stored away...0

Fasted yesterday, got up this morning and went for a run. Actually more a shuffle than a run but it broke through the "I don't wanna" that has been going on in my head for about 3 weeks. 10:35 now and I'm starting to wonder what to have for breakfast...brunch..whatever.
I had a target of being under 12 stone for my 50th at the end of the year. I'm going to do 4:3 for a couple of weeks to see how that helps. Hoping that combining that with 3 good exercises sessions a week will see off 7 pounds. I know it's unlikely as I am closing in on my goal weight but I can't not try!0 -
Yay, jemimasmum on jumping that hurdle and going for a run!0

Finished my fast day yesterday...no issues. Started today with Starbuck's skinny peppermint mocha!! Have a great day everybody.0

Yummmm...Starbucks...Oh sorry got off track. I had one of those today (non-fast day today) Skinny venti expresso frappacihino with a shot of caramel (162 cals) Okay...enough about Starbucks!!
I found out why I was so hungry yesterday. I didn't eat the yogurt I planned so ended up being under the 500. Makes up for maybe one of the cookies over the weekend.
Fast day for me again tomorrow. Hope everyone is having a great week. Yummmm Starbucks...stop it....sorry

Have to pass one on my way home from work, so think I might pop in and go for an americano. That will fill me up until I have food later.0 -

tomorrow on my fast day...ooo...gonna log it now... 25 cals

You can do it!!! I'll be 50 in February so I'm on a similar mission, I want to be back in the healthy BMI range by the time I turn 50!

At least it was healthy foods you were craving!

Americano will work - great idea!!! I often get them at noon hour on a fast day and put a tiny bit of cream in it.

Fast day is over for me and I did really well yesterday! I've had a few bad weeks so it was nice to finally feel more in control! I had a few moments where I thought I was going to starve to death, but they passed in like 5 or 10 minutes! Boy that sounds so dramatic hehe. Today I'm going to try to eat just under my TDEE as I need to get moving the scale in the right direction...it's been mixed up and going the wrong way for some odd reason
Hope everyone has a wonderful day!!!0 -
Starbucks is sounding ahhhhmazing with my chilly fingers and toes today! I'm curious what temp it is where you are- I think I need to suck it up because at least I'm not buried in snow! 20-30 degrees F here.0
-
11 degrees celsius in london (51 F) And I think I'm cold 0

Fist fast day went well yesterday I was surprised how well my body coped with it actually... here's hoping tomorrow's fast goes as well and that you're all doing fabulously!
I have a question: who exercises on a fast day? I was thinking i will go for my walks or do aerobics on non-fast days. If you exercise on a fast day do you find yourself getting a bit too light headed and knackered? x

I do light exercises on my fast days...two miles walking, elliptical, etc. When I bike or lift weights I don't feel very good. It could be mind over matter too

As for temps...it's 7 F here right now. It was -3 last night with -20 wind chills. It's COLD in the mid-west and we have about 4 or 5 inches of snow! At least I don't live in Buffalo, NY!!

Light exercise only...nothing anaerobic. I did a 5k on fast day...big mistake...nothing to fuel you.Calahonda1984 wrote: »I have a question: who exercises on a fast day?

Calahonda - it's like most things on 5:2...try it out and see how you feel. There are days, when I can do strength exercises better than cardio or vice versa on a fast day. Sometimes, my body doesn't feel like exercise on a fast day. Every fast is different. IMO it also depends on if you are used to exercise and / or fasting. If you are new to both, ease into it.0

I exercise on my fast days. Just cardio though because it is easy to control how hard or easy I work depending on how I feel. I save the weights for when I have something for my muscles to chew on.0
