I'm happy with that as I've been trying to work out where I go form here this week and I've been off on holiday and been very inactive. I have tried a couple of 500 cal days this week which worked although I did find them testing as I'm used to liquid fasting and therefore not having to consider what I'm eating but I do think that will help me on non fast days.
So here is my plan of the moment - Mon, Wed, Fri - 500cals. Skip breakfasts on Tues, Sat, Sun. Write everything down - the time, what I eat, how I feel in general and hunger wise before I eat and after I have eaten. I will also try and be more mindful of what and how I am eating - not obsessive just an awareness. I am not drinking alcohol for January so will keep that going. @sallyo, yesterday I received my copy of Don't Go Hungry For Life', which will be my bed time reading for the next wee while to keep me focused. I will continue to google and use the recipes on this site even for none fast days, in particular looking for switching ideas, eg. quinoa instead of white rice. My aim is to stick to 500 low carb cals three times a week and reduce the amount of snacking on non fast days keeping Saturday as my weyhey day. I have also bought myself an Omron pedometer which I will have to find a way of attaching to me in a discrete manner as I work in a high risk food area and I am not allowed to wear jewellery or have anything in my pockets, etc.
I think that is enough to be getting on with at the moment but please feel free to make any comments.
Now thats what I call a plan @wildmissus
Your fast days.. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays are same as mine.. mondays are good as it fixes the harm of the weekend lol. and Fridays gets you set for the weekend. and Wednesday in between. If one doesnt fast on weekends, then its the only days in my opinion.. and kind of logical around a 2 day weekend.
on you fast days for the next month or so, come into the "Im fasting today" thread that will be created by whomover is on first. I guess often someone from Southern hemisphere, for some extra motivation.
