How was your 5:2 day today?

My biggest dilemma is that I have to take medicine in the morning. I don't want to eat until around 11 am because I like to have a late night snack of 100 calorie pack of cocoa dusted almonds. I've been putting off taking my medicine but the one I can't put off is an anti biotic.

I guess I can share this ,lol. I have to take an antibiotic before have sex or I will get a UTI.I have to take it with food.

I guess half of a Greek Yogurt would be 50 calories. I need to look up string cheese and baby bell light.

How about you? Is the 5:2 plan working with your life? I also don't like working out with my trainer on an empty stomach.

Will this not work if you have 11 hours in between instead of 12? There must be some reason you have to have 12 hours off.

    Thanks Cowgirl, it is Niebles actually. I remember hearing about that person that was kicked off and I seem to remember that she wasn't actually a real coordinator, just an obsessive fan who tried to

I'm going to see my DD and SIL and grandson where they are camping today. It should be fun. It's warmer inland so I will like that.

My daughter is a real snacker. Remember I said she had the RNY. She's pregnant though, so I am hoping they will be healthy Snacks.

I went to the fair last night and had a choc. covered frozen banana again. I hadn't gone off program all day, so I figured it wasn't all that bad. So I think I weighed 146

considering it's a guess with the cas, this morning. Fasting tomorrow but I'll be at work so all I can eat is what I bring.

I tell you, I HATE this cast.

Have a good time OD :)

Did you figure out how to exercise with the cast yet?

Hi Daisy -- i know you've broken your wrist, but I guess I missed a post or something. How did it happen? I'm so sorry, being in a cast is awful.

No but my trainer called. He was going to call around and find out from a doctor a routine he and I can work with. I was going to call him after I get home for the day.

I have to work tomorrow so the soonest I can go to the gym is tues.

Oh I was playing at the river last Sunday with my daughter and a friend. I slipped on a rock and fell.

And expensive! I have a $2500 deductible on my ins. so I'm going to end up with a huge bill.

I made it through my fast day yesterday at just over 600 calories. I was doing really well' date=' but we ended up having company for supper and they brought puffed wheat cake for dessert. I don't love puffed wheat, but I did not want to be rude either, so I had a small piece. But it still was a success overall! I was down this morning back to the lowest I have been since starting 5:2. And even though I am expecting a bounce, I am excited that my holidays didn't mess me up![/quote']

Oh I'm such a piggy! What's a puffed wheat cake? It sounds healthy :D

Healthy, sure! One can wish though! It is puffed wheat, corn syrup, cocoa, brown sugar and butter, that's it, melted and mixed together then pressed into a pan. They left it here, so of course I just ate another piece today. Ugh :( I have not self control. Sure it is my normal day, but I really didn't need it! I think I will try to convince my hubby to throw the rest of it out!

LOL! Yup not healthy :P

Trash sounds like a good place... I mean it's not like its a yummy cheesecake or Oreo Cookies that would be sacrilegious :P

Non fast day for me but I'm trying to have some control because I really haven't lost anything this week...

I threw a half gallon of no sugar added blue bunny ice cream down the sink the other day. That felt good.

Good for you!!

Sometimes it feels so hard in the moment because a) its yummy and B) you spent money on it. But I have learned it is just not worth it and feel more proud of myself for throwing it away! Hubby threw the rest of the puffed wheat away! Hooray for supportive partners!

I wish I was one of the sleeve patients that says, oh they don't like sweets anymore, they just don't taste as good! HA! HAHA! Everything still tastes as good to me and I still enjoy food!! I am glad you do too!! I can't keep Oreo anywhere near my house (I think my children feel I am the meanest mom ever for never buying them!)
