...today marks another milestone on my 5:2 journey!
Having been appalled with myself starting at 86kg, I am delighted to be down to 69.8kg this morning. What a psychological boost seeing a 6 at the start of the scales again! Woohoo!
Apparently this also takes me down to 10.99stone, first time I've been under 11 stone since... oh around November 2010 (and even that was a fleeting visit to the weight ).
My BMI is now just under 26, nice to see the 25 for a change, almost healthy weight again!
My (initial) goal of 65kg looks so much more reachable now. I really didn't think I'd lose any weight this week, in fact I expected to gain. I fasted Mon/Wed last week due to Valentines Day. So, last week was really indulgent - pancakes on Tuesday, Valentine's dinner out (after having pancakes for lunch - leftover batter!), big dinner Friday, feast with friends (and snacking all night) on Saturday, unplanned dinner of chips on Sunday followed by Ben & Jerries... and yet another 1lb off. I can't believe it!
I don't eat like that every week, I guess we all have ones that end up a bit like that once in a while.
Strangely though my fat % seems to be back up a little bit this week. Well, maybe it's not so strange considering the way I ate over the last week Nevermind, that'll balance out again I'm sure.
Maybe I will make a cake today afterall - all I could think about in bed last night was cupcakes with buttercream. No idea why, guess it's just been a while since I had cake (though plenty of choc & biccies!).
