Epic fail yetserday. I figured a trigger- my mum pushing food on me. It wasn't a complete failure by any means. I didn't eat until dinner time and then I ate as follows:

morning: coffee and bovril (30 cals)
dinner: 3 slices brown bread (240) with blue cheese and butter (90)

5 crispello sweets (280)

Total cals about 700 so not too far above a fast day. As a result though I'm going to try and do a second 1/2 fast today. My weekend will be a disaster of 2300 cals fri, sat and sun. If I want a mean average of 1300 (just for this week with all the travelling) then I'd need an average of only 600 per day all week. I don't really think that is feasible when I'm away with all the temptation. Perhaps I should just aim for maintenance and no loss this week - that would be average around 1600 - if I have 1000 cals today, 1200 wed, 1200 thurs, 2000 fri, 2500 Sat, 2500 Sun - that gives an average of 1600 which wouldn't be the worst. I'm going to aim to have as little as possible during the day...

I am now on my fourth fast day whilst being back at work; I have been alternating with eating days. How has it gone? Well, not too bad so far. Despite everyone in the office stuffing themselves at various times of the day, and constant snacking, I have avoided the need to grab them by their scruffs and steal their biscuits.

I was eating yesterday and had some yoghurt and fruit for breakfast, a chicken and avocado turkish roll for lunch and a handful of nuts in between. Not a huge amount you might think. Got to dinner and I didn't feel like anything! I ended up having a couple of biscuits and crackers as I didn't want to feel hungry today. Very odd, this seems to have played havoc with my appetite. I have the remains of a roast chicken that I haven't finished yet, half an avocado that I was going to have for dinner; it is still in the fridge, and my four bars of finest English choccy haven't received much of a battering at all. I EVEN have two packets of mini cheddars still in my room!!!What...

After getting to normal BMI, :rose: I thought I would take things a bit easier but still continue 5/2. Was really delighted :shock: to have lost another 700g this week while eating cake 5 days a week.
Had home made white chocolate berry crumble cake with cream today for breakfast. - what a diet :clap:

So... today is my 60th fast. I was kinda hoping that I'd still be on the 'lose a pound a week' trend and down 30 pounds by now. But I'm not. I guess I need to get over that and focus on what I have achieved (about 25 pounds). That is a significant improvement and I am happy.

As I mentioned in my last blog, I am working to get unstuck. This week I've been reasonably careful on my feast days and my weight has stayed steady for the past 3 weigh-ins. This makes me hopeful that tomorrow I'll be able to achieve a new low. I'll be honest and say that I'll be disappointed if that doesn't happen. I have been putting the work and consistency in so the results should follow. Here's hoping I'm not disappointed tomorrow.
