Starting the 5:2

Today I started the 5:2 diet, which I have combined with the 16:8 intermittent Fasting window. And today was successful! I did a lot of cleaning in my house to distract me from food, and I also drank a lot of black coffee. Yesterday I tried the one meal a day method of Fasting, and man....that went so wrong. But today I started intermittent fasting again (fortunately I found my motivation again), but not as strict as that OMAD fast. I hope this is something I can live with.
Here is what I ate today, and what I will probably eat all fast days:
Around 1-2 o'clock: A cup of cottage cheese (around 200 calories) with 1/2 cucumber (23 calories)
Then, a few hours later I ate 4 eggwhites with a little bit of mayonaise. (104 calories)
For 'dinner' I drank a Cambridge proteïn shake (153 calories)
Then I was somehow still a bit hungry, so I ate 2 celery sticks (13 calories)
I drank 3 cups of coffee containing a total of 24 calories.
I am so glad that today went well without experiencing too much hunger. My goal is to lose around 3 kg this month (6.6 lbs), and to lose 12 kg in total (26.5 lbs). For the long-term goal I don't set a target date, I am just going to roll with it, because I was never really overweight after all (on the edge of being overweight). So yeah.. that was my first, and hopefully not my last fast day. Keep you updated!
Kisses and hugs,
