    Is 5:2 when you are fasting/eating usually? I learned from my experience, that organism needs stability. What do you think? :)

    My DH and I started it about 2 years ago, a few months after his surgery. I convinced him to go on it, thinking mainly of the health benefits (?lower risk of cancer, fixing cells instead of creating cells, etc).
    While he's been on it, I've had to stop it.
    It's working well for him, because he enjoys ice cream and beer on his non-fast days.

    For me, the fast/"feast" was creating a somewhat unhealthy way of eating, where I would starve or binge.
    I had trouble controlling my eating, once I "opened the flood-gate".

    So now it's back to lifting heavy, eating when I'm hungry, lots of fresh organic veggies.

    This was Sunday's dinner:

    Good luck.

    ENCOURAGING WORD...

    People people people...we have about one month and one week to go on this challenge! Let make the most of it! This is your time to shine, but it's also a time when you must deal with things that have been ignored because they could impede your progress. You must enter this phase of your journey with a clear head and heart. ❤️ Clarity is vital to your ability to interact with circumstances as they arise. You will either learn and grow through the challenges or you will allow your emotional responses to drag you down. Don't make nutrition choices based on your emotions. Rise up and make amazing choices in all areas of your life. This is a lifestyle.

    I am not usually a joiner. I am too embarrassed by my weight to even talk about it let alone post my numbers but maybe this challenge will help me.

    WEIGHT LOSS FOR THE WEEK: 1 lb finally.
    Good thing I lost this week. I have been very diligent except for three days while tending my granddaughters. Finishing off a dish of "Cookie Monster Crunch" ice cream did a number on my calories (and made us both poop blue) but those slips should not have made my weight loss totally stall for 19 days. I even set a record for me of 20,600 steps one day but nothing budged until this morning. It is our 40th wedding anniversary today and we are going out for dinner but I will be vigilant. The restaurant's broiled shrimp are awesome, but then so is their key lime pie.

    See the bikini in my profile picture?
    Well, I tried it on this morning as a check-in, because I was planning to kill myself for the next 2 weeks to lose some more body fat/weight before my beach vacation.
    Well, it looks pretty good! Yay!
    So I think I will continue w/ my current really do-able training/eating plan.

    Caveat: I can only wear the bikini in the morning, before I eat anything and bloat out! Hhahahhaaa

    Great job for sticking with it! 10# loss in 1.5months is a GREAT pace!
    Are you doing body measurements? Have you notice that your clothes fit better/looser?
    Are you doing any weight training or squats and pushups?
    It's good to do weight training so that you retain your muscle mass as you lose weight (hopefully fat).

    While I've lost only 0.4# in 3 weeks, I've lost half an inch in my waist.
    I would gladly take losing half an inch of fat than to lose 1 pound on the scale.


    Last note: Congratulations on your anniversary!
    Quite a milestone.
    SO you should definitely celebrate! Don't limit yourself today.
    There's tomorrow for that. Go walk another 20K steps tomorrow.
