~Sallyo: thank you - you were right!

~Nina10: I always seem to have low energy in general. I may just have to start keeping track of that in my food journal if I feel any changes. Thank you for the luck!
So glad I did that hike yesterday! Lunch was on target, but I ended up really overeating at dinner (an entire days worth of calories). But because of the exercise my BodyMedia Fit showed I burned 318 more calories than I ate. This morning the...

I have to give this fasting business much more time, I've barely had much success with discipline. When I first started this, I struggled to successfully fast a whole day without giving in to late night eating. If I can get that under control, 4:3 sounds like something to aim for, with 5:2 something to fall back on I mess up a day.I'm on 4:3 but its my first week - what do you find more successful?

So yesterday was my second non fast day and it was easy to stick below by TDEE because now I am sick. My little boyis only getting over his sickness and I have gotten a nasty throat infection. This makes it hard to eat and I'm no too hungry anyway. I felt really awful yesterday. My fast day isn't til Monday at this point but I am limited to eating slithery slimy food as every feels like razor blades going down. I just tried to eat somne grapefruit but it stung me so badly that I couldn't. Obviuosly I'm not exercising either as my emp goes very high. So no exercise til next weekend to give myself a chance to recover. Also presume starving an infection is a good idea next week.
My day yesterday looked like this:
Lunch: Chicken wrap (500cals)
Dinner: Noodles (300 cals)
Snacks: 2 ice lollies & 2 squares of lindt (120 & 120)
Totals Cals 1040. I actually ate more than I thought. The noodles were very high considering the amount. I can only estimate the wrap as it...

It's sometimes a different path to our bodies and how they are but I look at the women of courage who participate in the Under the Red Dress project and I take a mental step back in amazement at their endurance and courage.
And I wonder how I allow myself to be so indifferent to clothing/appearance that I can't be bothered to dress in the best way to make a reassuring impact on others (I think well-turned out people give off an aura of competence and trustworthiness). I dress in indifference and that isn't helpful - it's about time that I changed my attitude and overcame my loathing of shopping/working out what I can wear. I have a spinal curvature that limits my clothing choices but that shouldn't make me quite as careless as I am about my appearance.

This is the morning of my third fast(2nd week) and last week (2 fasts) I lost 2kg. With every other diet plan I have not made it past the third week but here I am even looking forward to my fast day today and more importantly, a loss. We are coming up to summer here in NZ and even tho I have a lot to lose and I won't do it before summer, I am positive about feeling better about myself this summer. This is the first fast day I have been at work for and I'm a bit worried the hunger will distract me. By the time morning tea comes, I am almost gnawing off my own arm but I have changed a few things in the last week, I am having less breakfast and morning tea and the hunger is the same level, so I guess that's a positive...right!!! I have told a few people about what I'm doing, a bit reluctant to be honest cause they have all heard about my diets before. My son says " here we go again". I have only told people out of necessity and they are supportive, my mum is even doing this also...

It was a non-fast day so it was all good. It was also my first non-fast day that I didn't track what I ate...
SW 3/1/13 =274.8
CW=264.8 down another .6 after a really up day
Calories =?
Net Carbs = ?
Fat= ?
Protein= ?
Sleep =6:22 90%
Steps= 5832 6 flights of stairs - It looks like this is about average for what I do when I feel like crap and skip the treadmill
So you will note that there was a loss on the scale. You may also note that I did not keep track of what I ate yesterday. We had a group over last night, all preparing scrapbooks for their children. We had a counter full of finger foods, dips, and lovely desserts. Yep, I ate a bit of everything. Even if I had counted how much of each thing I ate-no idea how to get it into MFP accurately. I felt like I over ate, as I put one more little dessert in my mouth as I was thinking "man I am stuffed".
So now I go into my...
