Getting back

by bala5057 on 26 Apr 2013, 15:27

Started 5:2 mid February this year and it was difficult to get into my own "rhythm" of whether to eat 1, 2 or 3 meals a day for my 500 calories. Eating fruit for breakfast and an evening meal at about 7pm worked for me.

Then had a spanner in the works with an unplanned holiday to India for 2 weeks in March. (Husband thought it would be good time to visit - before the monsoon).

5:2 went out the window as we travelled to 7 cities/towns around Rajastan after 2 days in Mumbai.

Was miserable on my return to UK as it was dark, cold, wet and boiler decided to pack up! :curse: Didn't get back on the 5:2 as I felt so down.

Finally picked myself up and dusted myself down and got back on the 5:2. I was very reluctant to weigh myself OR measure my waist as I had been comfort eating.

Well today was the day I had promised myself to do the weight and waist measurement. I was pleasantly surprised that I have lost 1lb and 1inch off my waist.

Onwards and upwards now even though I have a long weekend in Southern Ireland AND a long weekend in Barcelona in May to look forward to.

My mantras are "I can do this" and "Slow but sure".
