Day 2 16:8

by jmousey on 18 Sep 2013, 20:19

weight: 8st 11

Well as you can see I lost some of the bloating. Today was a little tough as I was up at 6am and didn't eat til 12 noon to start my 16:8. I had kind of hoped to do a fast with 2 small meals but I was too hungry. So my food went as follows:

8am-12pm 4 coffees with milk

12pm demi baguette, butter, 2 easy single cheese slices (250)
tesco vegetables with garlic butter (250 cals)
2 crackers with soft cheese

530pm: 2 boiled eggs
5:45pm: 2 porch chops, mini pizza (590 cals)
bite of a mars bar and bite of icecream burger (100cals)

Total 1366 cals(myfitness pal)


So I'm a good bit under my TDEE but I am very full after my dinner to be honest and feel bloated. However, I found the strectch between 12 and 530 quite tough and I'm quite drawn and tired today. I did my 5mile run with the girls and we had to stop off for me to get water (nevfer happens) and felt quite dizzy a lot. However, it takes time to get used to this and I'm still slightly jet lagged.

At the moment there are sweets sitting looking at me but it's well outside my 16:8 window so I'm not going to.

Tomorrow is another 16:8 day. I still have 1 more fast to do. Considering how full I feel I am going to try get the fast in tomorrow and then do 16:8 Friday but I'll see how I go. I'm definitely going to get an early night.

So today I give the day 7/10 as I went down a lb but I felt quite tired and drawn and dizzy and wasn't full until my dinner.

See you all for another installment tomorrow :like:
