Day 16: 16:8/feed day

weight 8st 12.25

Ok not so bad as I expected.Long way to go. So yesterday was my first liquid fast and it was pretty successful. I stuck to tea, coffee and oxtail soup until 6pm. At 6pm I cooked OH's dinner. I was going running at 730pm with my tri club so I had about 50g of rice (proba n overestimate. I was starving too. I defo had under 150 cals yesterday anyway.

I did an hours running class and I have to say that was tough. I really felt having nothing in my system. However, I intend that my fast days will Mon and Thurs (liquid fasts) so I shouldn't have too much on those days or I will make it my business not to anyway. I think 2 days is much more manegable with my calendar than 3 days.

I am trying to do a 16:8 today so have yet to eat. I am trying to hold off until 11am which is 90 mins away. I'm pretty hungry but in some ways I'm afraid the hunger switch will go off too.

Anyway, the aim is to have the following:

11am: slimbo with butter (150)
1pm: 2 slimbo's with butter (300), cripss (125)
6pm: not sure yet as going to concert after work. There is a restaurant around the corner but OH and I need to watch the pennies so might be easier to pick up a sambo somewhere. I'm just glad its not a fast day but I od have to liquid fast again tomorrow. Tomorrow will be way tougher as I won't be over full from a takeaway the night before and I will have stopped eating by 7pm tonight :-(. I will just have to keep really busy and drink lots of bovril me thinks
