Day 74 Mini Fast day

SORRY SORRY SORRY- I've had a rough couple of weeks in my mind. Nothing terrible has happened- I'm just working crazy hours and couldn't afford my usual half hour at work to update my posts. The consequence of that though is that I haven't lost anything and probably have eaten too many carbs. My gastritis appears to be completely gone - I can have tea and had my first coffee yesterday in a month. I'm still off alcohol. I suppose that is what is a bit disappointing about the lack of weight loss. I didn't drink (except a couple of small beers at my parents dinner 10days ago). I didn't drink at all last weekend, did a 10k in under an hour so was delighted, I cycled, ran walked did pilates. I avoided a takeaway which I really really wanted. And today 8st 7 after a fast day yesterday. I did a full fast yesterday. I've discovered I find it easier to have lunch and then have a tea at night with couple squares of chocolate to tide me over and then go to bed. I am doing two mini fasts now after that. The reason being is that I am travelling with work but I will have a corporate dinner one night. The other night I will go to the Xmas markets and treat myself to something nice. Friday will be my other mini fast - I'll aim for 500 but I will probably have a corporate lunch and the hotel will have breaky which I would skip but my colleagues will want to meet for breaky. I'll see how it goes.
I need to get back on the band wagon and get serious. It is always around here that I fall off the wagon and plateau - I still have not managed to get under 8st 5 despite not having alcohol since the 7th November (except for that 1 night). I would have expected to go under - especially with staying in all last weekend. But no. So I'll be staying in again this weekend but I don't see how I will get under 8st 5 when I was 8st 7 this morning. I have 2.5 weeks to get to 8st 2 now. That is my goal but its a lot to lose - 5lbs for someone of my height. So its cut the carbs except on Sundays to 30gms ( to allow for natural healthy fruit and veg). Also next week I will do 3 rigid fasts. I'm raging that in 3 weeks I've lost nothing- I did have avery big birthday weekend but I had at least 10days of not eating very muhc due to gastritis and didn't lose anything so I can't understand it. My body just rails against me getting under 8st 5. It's all about planning I suppose.
So today I have had
9am: chai latte(200)
11am: choc bicky(70)
1pm: thai red curry veg (165)
5pm : Fatdogs breadroll with butter(160)
8pm: tea
That works out at 600 cals - I might have a piece of chocolate or something later but aim is to stay under 700. The carbs are high at 57 but 2 fast days in a row is a great struggle which is why it is a mini fast. I am doing a spin class at 615 so by the time I'm home it will be 730pm and nearly time for bed. Today I would have been happy at 8st 5 as then the potential to get to 8st 4 would really be there but no such luck. I give today a 1/10 as I'm only putting up weight, no alcohol isn't helping and I seem to have lost my mojo.
