Well I'm off work for two weeks and have more plans than I wanted. ...but no social obligations today, that include a meal, thus I am sneaking in a fast 
Might be the only one I can get in until the 4th.
Got up late, off to the hairdressers and later of to walk my care horse. So a fast should be no big problem. Only obstacle...I have to go food shopping. But I'm gonna pull that off too
Have a great day!

Thank you!
Pretty successful fast...600cals minus 200cals of walking/jogging and a trip to the grocery store without buying anything, I shouldn't

Way to go flumi - I had a fast yesterday too and did just fine, all of last week was pretty much a disaster so it's good to have the feeling of a fast day behind me again! That's the really good part of eating this way... back in charge!0

I fasted today and I'm not hungry at all (but I think that's because I feel like I slightly over ate a couple days in a row
).
We're getting ready to travel for the holidays on Thursday, so I don't know whether I'll be able to fast while visiting family. I think I'm going to concentrate on eating light whenever possible and not worry about sticking to fast levels of calories.0 -
Thank you all for your confessions...you have been absolved. As your penance you will enjoy the rest of your holidays and binge watch a dozen episodes of "Extreme Weight Loss" on January 2nd.
In the name of the pastas, sticky buns, and holy cheeses....amen.

Exactly one year ago, I made a decision to change my life. I was so tired of my station in life. I felt I had fulfilled the cliche of what it means to be a middle-aged woman. Overweight and frumpy, I felt like I had joined the rest of the overweight/frumpy/middle-aged woman club. I've struggled with my weight my whole life and I just decided "I'm halfway to death (or a little less than halfway if you believe life expectancy trends), is this how I want to be for the remainder of my life?". So, somehow, I discovered the 5:2 diet and, one year later, I'm 40 pounds lighter. I don't feel frumpy anymore. My passion (besides my family) is ballet and I continue to make huge gains in technique and skill that continually surprise me and my teacher. To me, I'm defying what it means to be middle-aged. As I witness the decline in my mothers health, I am grateful for the opportunity to figure out how I want to get older. Do I want to just let it happen or go out with a bang? I choose the latter. So, Happy Anniversary to me...I'm choosing to celebrate with a fast
and a Happy Holiday to all of you!! May you all find your way towards your goals!! 0 -

Fit Old Farts it is, Flumi!! Love it!! And, no, we will never go back! I don't care if I've got a walker and an oxygen tank. I'll keep dancing and trying to defy what people think it means to grow old.0

Happy Holidays!
Seems I have a day free of social obligations...taking the opportunity to slip in a fast before I leave for a few days to Germany. Had a 7.5k walk in the sun this morning and a lazy afternoon now.
Enjoy your day.0 -
Only got one fast day in this week, and over indulged yesterday (boo!) - aiming to stay under my "normal" calories today and tomorrow and then fitting in better fasting next week.0

I welcome today's fast after 2 days of abundant rich food and alcohol. I just can't do that anymore. I haven't taken a break from fasting this holiday season, but I'm looking forward to less goopy (yes, goopy...meaning cheesy, saucy, creamy) foods. The joke between my husband and I after we have these types of events is that all we are going eat is kale. Neither one of us can stomach kale (it's a texture issue), but you get the idea. Back to bark and twigs to get my gastrointestinal system back to normal!!! Even gravel sounds kind of good after the past 2 days.0

HA! My kids are eating kale soup as we speak/ type! It is actually pretty good when boil it (long) and make a soup with it her her, but I know what you mean! I will definitely be making a great game plan for the new year.Thank you all for your confessions...you have been absolved.
