Today I picked up my old friend the 30 Day Shred. After about ten minutes of huffing and puffing, I realised that I am terrifyingly unfit. Sigh. Ah well, I've never known anything to boost your fitness quicker than 20 minutes of Jillian Michaels a day!

My fasting will begin next week, Mondays and Thursdays. I'm a bit nervous about it so far because I completely forget any normal eating habits when I'm in the office. I told myself yesterday not to snack at all, not even to try anything that anyone gave me (because people are ALWAYS eating), and I completely forgot twice, happily munching on whatever was handed to me. Slightly better than the stuffing my face that was happening before but not good enough. One step at a time, I suppose.

About to go on a food shop with a healthy list in hand. Lots of salads and veg and protein. I always feel as though fasting and exercising are so much easier if the fridge is stocked correctly. I'm hoping to compile my lunches for the week tomorrow so I...

After a thoroughly miserable day, here in Wild West Wales the sun is out and the sea is looking beautiful - but damn cold! Done well today - no solids till tea time when I had a M&S "Fuller Longer" Meatballs and Pasta. Not bad for 380 Cals so I had a mini Milky Way for pudding.

It has been really windy today and this always makes the dog stupid (in Cymraeg - ci twp - it may well be his new name!) so when were out today he chased a bus, a car, snapped at a pug and also had a go at another collie. So, the wound up dog got me wound up but despite my understandable "anxious state" I did not resort to alcohol or dark chocolate digestives!

HOWEVER, as I still have about a hundred calories to play with, I may well allow myself a small sherry at bed time.
:cool:

So today is my first day, and I'm a little nervous. Excited too but still nervous. I'm not really sure what to expect, and I'm really sure my will power can hold out, I'm just not really sure how today will play out. But I can't wait to see how it does!

I decide to split my calories today into a lunch of 50g turkey breast and a bunch of salad leaves, so I can still eat with my co-workers. And then this evening I'm going to make a chicken stir fry :) I'm looking forward to gaining some control over my diet finally. I shall post at the end of the day to report how I found it.

In love and peace :heart:

After 4 weeks and 8 fast I am down 1.4kg. It is not as much as it should have been looking at the average of 500g per week, but I know that I didn't follow the diet properly and with a week in Berlin it was hard too. Next week I will be out for 5 days again and another test for myself. At the end of everything I am not disappointed at all because I am loosing weight and I am not far away from the 80 number. I won't be able to weigh myself next week at least until Friday morning and see the damages of the week out. I really hope to be able to control myself.
Time will tell.
