A very busy week behind me. Lots going on at work, the funeral of a good friend's mom on my dad's birthday (he died long ago) and now the whole weekend at a seminar. Two more busy work weeks ahead of me.
But emotionally, I had a much better week than the last one and just got back from Day 1 of the seminar. Solving some issues I still have / had and that were causing this widdle weeble to wobble a bit
My weight is still in maintainance mode, but at least it is in maintainance mode...As long as I am between 57-58kg after my second fast, I'm pleased. Those last 2-3kg are a bit clingy, but if I truely solved my issues today, I'm pretty sure, they will now be able to go. It'll just take some time.
Have a good week!!

Today is my daughter`s birthday. We celebrated it last night (went out to dinner) and had her birthday party today.
I've been so busy today, I keep forgetting to eat. It's 3cm here so I'm thinking of making today and fast day as well. That'll make three for the week!0 -
I only got one fast in last week so I'm going to fast today.
Happy fasting to those who are fasting today...........0 -
3 fasts last week and exercise 6/7, heres hoping this week goes as well!0

Last week I thought I was doing so well...Breakdown...
Sunday Bit over TDEE
Monday fast day success
Tuesday and Wednesday Bit over TDEE
Thursday and Friday Both attempted fast days, but both ended at around 1200 calories.
There has been no loss this week, but what I discovered is that the days I attempted to fast were a good recipe for reaching my TDEE. Skipping breakfast and having tea those days helped me to bring myself closer to TDEE than ever before.
The numbers...my estimated daily TDEE 1770
Calories saved by 2 fast days equals (1770 - 500) 1270 X 2 = 2540
3500 (the estimated calories to loose 1 pound)
Therefore to loose 1 pound a week I should reduce the other 5 days by 200 calories bringing my daily TDEE to 1570 (or less if I want to loose more than a pound a week)
My weekly calorie goal should be around 8850 (which brings daily average as 1264)
Last week I was at 12045 for the week which is daily average as 1720.
Doing the math really brings everything in perspective for me...I must maintain my TDEE and I will change my MFP daily allowance to 1570 calories. Now the goal is to reach and not go over my weekly calorie allowance (8850), fast or no fast, but of course much easier with fasts.

I had a great weekend, saw lots of people I haven't seen for a while and ate loads of cake
! Though I haven't lost a lot of weight, people commented on how much better I looked, slimmer, less tired, more energy... All things good to hear, to boost my confidence and keep me going:) 0 -
Back at work today which means a back to back fast yesterday and today. I'm too busy to get hungry. But we'll see how it goes this arvo after work0

Hmmmm work plus gym on a fast day may have not been the best idea. I'm bloody starving... I keep fantasising about food0
-
Good Morning! pretty good weekend here. Did a lot packing since we are moving next weekend. I also cooked a WHOLE bunch of food for the week. I practically cooked all day yesterday. Today is my first fast day, and I'm looking forward to it. I love these days to get all caught up on water intake, although, I did do pretty good yesterday.0

Hi All! First fast day of the week here - just black coffee and fruit/herb tea so far, plus a 1hr Pilates session. Maybe some gardening later. Looking forward to Hairy Dieters' Chicken Tikka Masala and brown rice for dinner. Keep at it Karen, and all other Monday fasters!0

First FD of the week for me today too. Been good so far (BF: pear, L: soup, D; planning soup again) but I've just hit that afternoon dip and feeling hungry and bored
Off to make my umpteenth cup of green tea and try to focus on getting some work done... 0 -
Fast day for me too...and it dinner time!!! So far has been a success, just got to make it til bedtime! Also, today I used the app on my phone...runtastic...and successfully linked it to MFP...way fun. I put it on when I was on the school runs and at the store...walked .54 miles and burned an estimated 209 calories 0
-
Fast Day for me too. Cottage pie and veg for tea. Can't wait. Gone a little bit overboard recently by overeating at the weekend, and drinking wine in the week, but still losing 1lb most weeks.0
-
Todays a fast day for me also.
Cube steak in sauce and a salad for me tonight.0 -
FD #1. Glad to have so much company today. You 5:2 Fasters make the journey fun and interesting.

Well done all the Monday fasters!!!!! I'm super proud to say that I didn't cave and ended the day at 440 calories!! That's my first ever back to back fast and today I woke up feeling awesome! A bit stiff from the gym lol but great nonetheless. Teacup eggs for breakfast today. I'm trying to stay away from my beloved weetbix and boost my protein intake at the same time. Have a fabulous day/night /arvo/evening etc0

Ugh carb overload!! Looking forward to tomorrow fast!0
