Well the scales have started the downward trend again. The lowest weight I've been on this diet is 8st 5 so really going to work hard til next week to try get down below 8st 5 - 8st 4.75 would do it. I'm ahead of my tracker. Now I've weighed myself early this week because did my liquid fast Mon & Wed ( writing this on thurs but liquid fast was yesterday). However, I think I'm going to go back to Mon & Thurs as I feel rotten today. I think doing 2 liquid fasts so close together maybe is too difficult when I'm only 3 weeks into liquid fasting and still find them tough - so back to Mon & Thurs next week. It also leaves a whole 4 days before my next fast which makes me very nervous so really need to be careful now today and tomorrow so that I can enjoy my weekend.
SO 2 other things- I'm still waiting for my dreaded time of the month which is wreaking havoc on my overall wellbeing - I'm achey, headachey, moody and can't sleep. Further, I seem to have pain in my piriformis muscle again. THis is an old injury which kept me out of training for triahtlons & marathon for a whole 8months. So I'm hoping that this is just achey from period but very nervous 2 weeks before the marathon that this is affecting me so much. My piriformis muscle is wrapped around my sciatic nerve and if it becomes inflamed- it is not a good thing so have started back to my physio exercises to see how they go.
So yesterday looked like this:
7am-4pm coffee with milk & ginger tea
4pm, cup of bovril
6pm; fizzy water
9pm cup of coffee
I am actually really proud of myself. I was at a conference with free wine & canapes. Usually, that is a disaster for me coz even if I'm not having wine, I would hop off those canapes with no self control. This time, I briefly looked at them and then refused to look any closer. I was terrified of runing the fast and I knew they wouldn't be worth it. So is my self control kicking in due to fasting, is it hte weightloss hypnosis app that I listen to at night kicking in? Is it both? I don't know but it is the first time in a long time that I have exercised any control and I am delighted and hope it marks a turning point for me.
I give the day 8/10 as feel skinnier but really felt rotten all day
