gain goal regain How was your 5:2 day today?

[Chimera 644]

Sweet! I seem to do much better with hunger this way - I have yet to do a really hard workout fasted, but I hear very good things about it.

I have been looking at interesting images this morning. I am fairly tapped into visual social media sites such as Tumblr because I use them in my college classes as a compliment to my class website stuff etc.

Looking at weight loss (no I don't teach weight loss haha - but rather in the art and technology arena) before and afters on Tumblr, you get a lot of hits of young girls who want to be very thin...what I am noticing is the drastic difference in what a body looks like with losing 10-20 lbs when you are below 150. I mean my own before and after right now is pretty crazy - I've got the sleeping bag of skin to prove it - but it really is significant how much a body is altered even with a very small number of lbs lost. - lemme see if I can go find an example...

Are these WLS girls?

Wow - the difference is incredible! Fair play.... motivates me to keep going for sure.

I have just done my boxing class on a fast day! I honestly didn't think I would be able to get through the session on 400 cals but I did and I have to say, I wasn't fatigued as I thought I would be! It is amazing what the body can do. Had my Protein Shake and I've come in at just over 500 for the day so I'm pleased with that.

I try to do the 16:8 too but don't make it everyday - I usually get between 14 and 12 hrs of fasting in.

Hope you're ok Dee - getting burgled is no fun! It happened to a friend of mine whilst she was away and it took her a long time to get over it... sending you welsh cwtches (hugs) x

I don't think those are WL surgery girls - I just posted links because it is so interesting how drastic the change is with so many of them - mind you this is coming from someone who had to lose close to 100 lbs for a lot people to start noticing my own weight loss - when you are reeeally big it seems you have to lose quite a bit to even drop a clothing size. Milestones seem closer with fewer lbs the closer we are to goal I guess.

So far only 2 Protein Shakes for the day . 120 cal ea.

My big problem is at night though. I am a night owl, so around 9pm I want to start snacking. Healthy Snacks, like greek yogurt are okay but not on fast days. There's not enough calorie range for a nice snack.

Don't know what dinner will be. I told the man friend to pick up a chicken which he did not do, so am not cooking and I'll figure out something for myself.

[Georgia 2,908]

Done! I'm trying to figure out what I want to eat with my "last" few cals! lol. It's a monumental decision too! ha!

Hoping I'm "holding" when I weigh tomorrow.

[Oregondaisy 2,020]

ended up with a lean cuisine that was only chicken and spinnach so I came in right at around 500. I'll tape my mouth shut so I don't snack tonight.

Fast day. Took a two mile walk which was nice. Just had dinner, for a total of 570.... That will work. Hope my new low sticks another day....(or drops again!)

7:25 here... So far at 279, I'm having an off day and can't quite figure it out...

Fast day yesterday overran by quite a few calories. I caved in after a long day and has 2 glasses of wine. I think I will have a semi fast today to try and make up. Does that work?

Waiting on phone call re interview, they said they would let me know today.
