Week 8 still the same as last week

by Rhonda on 31 Jan 2014, 07:30

Well some things never change and with me it seems to be I am lighter every second week - but that is okay with me - better to stay the same one week and being lighter the next. Still enjoying 5:2 way of life but to be honest this week I had difficulty with both fast days, most likely because I have been unwell this week and sometimes I crave unhealthy food, but in saying that I still managed to eat far less than I would have 8 weeks ago, so to me that is a bonus. I am off target now to reach my Valentine's goal of 13 stone realistically but I will endeavour to get as close to that target as possible and be satisfied with that as in my book anything I weigh that is less than what I started with 8 weeks ago is magic. Looking forward to feeling better and more energised and to a healthier me.

Week 7 and another pound lighter

by Rhonda on 24 Jan 2014, 18:38

I was so pleased to jump on the scales this morning and see that another pound has hit the road - really really pleased - this way of life is really working for me, slowly but surely I am seeing the difference and enjoying not having to worry about what I eat or drink every day, just have to keep track on two days a week and this suits me - the fast days just happen normally and I look forward to them. I don't worry about what I eat the rest of the week but actually find that I don't think about food as I had in the past - some days I don't think about food at all. Going out tomorrow with friends and hubby for a Burns' Supper with haggis and whisky and the whole shebang - really looking forward to it without regret.

Week 6 Still the Same as last week but HAPPY

by Rhonda on 17 Jan 2014, 08:53

Just finished week 6 of this new way of life and still loving 5:2 although my fast day yesterday was the worst since starting this journey. I ended up eating more than I should have and felt compelled to fall back into old habits - I am owning up to it so will be better prepared for Monday's fast and will take measures to ensure I don't fall back again next week.
Training for the 10k is helping and I am enjoying the challenge.
So, stayed the same this week, which after yesterday's blips I am happy with the result today, but I suspect I could have been a bit lighter had I not succumbed ... anyway, chin up and carry on - 5:2 is great and I know it :)

Week 5 Another one bites the dust....

by Rhonda on 10 Jan 2014, 07:52

So excited, another pound lighter and pleased as can be.
Really loving this lifestyle - 5:2 works for me and I do not feel like it is controlling me, I am controlling it without trying really.

Week 4 and still the same after all festive season

by Rhonda on 06 Jan 2014, 09:47

Well I am one happy lady after eating and drinking what I wanted without giving it a second thought and my weight stayed the same over Christmas and New Year. I do feel I didn't "pig out" as I have done in previous years.
I have stopped sugar in my coffee and tea since 1st Jan 2014 - this will be for life.
I have stopped chocolate until Valentine's Day - hoping this will help with my Valentine's Day Challenge.
I have stopped alcohol for the month of January, again to help with my Valentine's Challenge.

My most exciting decision was to finally run my first ever 10k. I entered the Great Run Women's 10K 2014 which will be run in Glasgow - I started training last week and I am "Running for the Birds" - I am running to raise funds for The Island Parrot Sanctuary, which is near Oban, Scotland, on the Isle of Kerrera.
