Curiosity!
Just to make sure I did three readings and they all came out the same so I'm pretty chuffed with that! There is still quite a way to go with my body fat reduction but finally it's heading in the right direction.
I know that I'm in this for the long haul, I really dont want it to turn in to some weight loss obsessional...

Still Not Hungry
I descussed this choice on the forums and I was surprised that I was advised to lay off the carbs on fasting days. I have low carbed in the past loosing 3 stone on the dukan diet but as a lifestyle I didn't find it very sustainable. Short term I think cutting carbs on fast days would be easy but I think I would soon get fed up with it and reach for the bread. So a I'm in a bit of a dilema on what to do with that information though I might give it a go but accepting that...

Feeling Smug!
Today was a bit of a wierd one, I got up this morning and for the first time in ages I didn't want breakfast, the thought of it just didn't appeal to me, so I didn't bother. I then found myself craving salad all morning, Yes SALAD! am I going mad? I mean I'm not adverse to a salad but honestly does anyone usually crave it?
So salad all round it was for lunch, a small slice of mums homemade gluten free cake this afternoon while booking summer holiday round two (well it would be rude not too!). A lovely steak with stir fried veg for dinner. Why am I not stuffing my face with chocolate cake and chips while I can?
Tonight, according to Run Double a handy little jogging app on my phone, we had to up our game for the start of week four...

First Weigh In
So even though I had decided not to weigh in for a while I thought I had better see what damage the holiday had done. I was quite surprised to discover that I was the same weight, I'm quite happy that, even with all the wine, fish and chips and icecream I have not gained anything other than a bit of bloating.
Fortunatly I am at home for the next few weeks instaed of being stuck behind a desk so I want to make a real effort to get my body fat down a bit and get a bit fitter before I start back at work.
So I have two fast days to fit in before Sunday, I'm doing one today and one Saturday. I think being flexible with the days will suit me best as I am finding it easier to fast on the days that I am...

I thought the first 12 hours was easy, mainly because the majority of it I was sleeping. Throughout yesterday a full fasting day I was fine until the time my family decided to have thier evening meal, then my stomach started to rumble and I started to salivate (not attractive!). I found the distraction of a nice long bubble bath followed by a self pedicure and facial a very useful tool. I would usually have gone for a run but having already been in the morning I didn't want to push it on no food. Once I got past that point it was easy again, although going to bed on empty was a little strange. It took me a little longer than usual to fall asleep but I was tired and in bed eiarlier, I'm not sure if it is connected. I had a good nights sleep and woke up naturally about 8.30 am.
As you can...
