Woken by dogs @ 2.50am and never got back to sleep...5am had veggie soup for brekky. I am seriously loving this soup and I must take to having it for lunch on feed days, filling, healthy & delish. Might add a slice of toast on feed days. Lots of black coffee throughout the day and an 8 cal hot choc with a dash of milk after work. Walked for about 2 hours today.
When I woke I was suffering from 'doubting Thomas'. Maybe my scales are weighing light, maybe I haven't really lost that much weight, maybe it's water loss, weighing after fast...hmmm even decided that my shorts were tight (straight out of the wash - by days end all most falling off me )I had tried on some clothes after the weekend and nothing seemed very loose. However the clothes I have been wearing, have been crying at the seams, so now they are sighing with relief. The 'old' clothes, well they are seriously skinny jeans,...

Life just seems to be rushing past me at the moment and I'm trying to keep up! Thankfully fasting has been relatively easy and I've been thankful of the consistency of fasting, it seems like fasting has become the normal part of my life at the moment. Some weeks I get disgruntled with it, but then some weeks really amaze me at the scale results. This past weekend saw me drop to a new low, and only a few pounds away from a new stone category (which was my Christmas target for the stone category I'm in now!!! ) I'm hoping I reach my Easter target but since I will be away at Jamie's I won't be able to weigh myself. I'm just going to conclude that from my weight loss trend I probably will reach my target. So that would have been 5kg from Valentines to Easter, which I think is a huge achievement. My next goal would be to lose another stone. I really would love to be close to a size...

My strategy for my 2 feed days was to eat "normally"; I was successful. I have read enough blogs on this site and enough info on the internet and in the forums to know that one cannot eat "normally" on feed days, and normal for me is not normal for the average weight human being. If my eating were "normal", I wouldn't be here writing this blog! Ergo I am going to have to manage my feed days in a better way. Regardless of the diet, program, weight loss system you follow, the bottom line is this: Calories in must be less than calories out. If I fast 2 days and eat my normal meals, I'm going to maintain the weight I have and I'm here to tell you that just ain't gonna happen! Ergo (again) I'm going to have to eat less on my feed days . . . not DIET, but be cautious, aware, sensible, mindful and careful.
This is just my second fast day and so far so good. Drinking lots of water with fresh lemon juice.

So I've gone my first full week without weighing myself.
My friend asked how I feel in myself i.e. lighter or heavier. I don’t really know to be honest! I feel like I've been eating well and exercising well, and I don’t feel bloated or anything. I haven’t been obsessing over calories or how much I might weigh at this very second, but I just feel “well”. As in, content. Looking in the mirror when I was in my underwear this morning I thought I looked fine, but so much with me and my body image depends on how I am mentally. This might sound strange, but if I know I've eaten well and done quite a bit of exercise, it’s like it has this placebo effect and I can look in the mirror and think “hey, not bad”. On the other side, if I've eaten junk and missed the gym a few times, I can look in the mirror and think “what a mess, look away!” It’s the same when I weigh myself – see a pound lost and I’ll think I look fine, a pound gained and I’m suddenly GIANT. This is completely irrational of course – how ...
