A purchaser with too much time on her hands

I survived a week free!!

This is my 6th week of woe. I had a week break last week and I have to say I really missed fasting and my routine of being able to ignore food. I was not bad. I ate what I wanted. We went for a few days trip and I did overdo and I ate what I wanted. Due to all the fasting I was unable to finish dinner on both days (which is good seeing that it was a males portion size). One day was lamb biryani that I had to bring back to the hotel room and ate as supper. The next night was ribs with fries and what not. That too I brought back and my son demolished it. While eating the ribs, I gave several pieces to my husband.

Then the weekend came. I was still not fasting but lunch Saturday I did not eat up and it hit me. A monster PMS I had to eat. I polished off several fruits and ate a lot. Come Monday I was so glad I was fasting!! I came home starving and had some small almonds while cooking. I made my skinny noodles with shrimp and kalian (Chinese kale), broccoli and carrots. I ate half of it and could not finish it. I did not hit my 500 calories on my fast day which is good.

Today is a non-fast day and lunch is like a ton of bricks in my tummy. I am so looking forward to my fast day tomorrow!!

Exercise was put on hold too as we were doing other things, out on the boat and our trip. So yesterday I resumed the morning walk and today it is my hour long walk. I will be doing squats too as I stopped doing it when on ‘vacation’.

I have not weighed myself officially as it was my vacation and this week the dreaded period week. I always retain water when I have my period so I will not even bother. My official weighing day is this Saturday and I am happy to maintain and any loss is a bonus!
