well, I hope you will celebrate with me today, I've been 5/2ing and 4/3ing for just under 3 months, and I've reached my first interim goal! This morning I have officially crossed from "obese 2" to "obese 1" - gotta love the lingo (not)!
Oh and not to forget HIIT (who could?
), I think it's really been helping in the last 3 weeks, certainly my quads have changed shape so I'm definitely NOT losing muscle, although I may have been losing a bit of water, since I've been a little tighter with my carbs on feed days - usually around 70 g on day-after-fast, maybe up to 150 on the other day - that has taken much more of a psychic rearrangement than fasting or HIITing has - I have been a bread and a milk girl since I was a small child. Diabetes is also going really well, sugars are high fours to high fives - unless I have a small carb binge, which happened as recently as a week ago. But perspective! - that's a small problem atm.
Pity you can't keep your old interim goal when you create a new one - @Moogie? Today the new goal looks like looking over a large cliff - everything below it is completely tiny & indistinguishable - would like to hang on to the achievement of the old goal while going for the new one. It's 15 kg away - and it will be the border between "obese 1" and "overweight" - now that will be a big celebration. Oh but there will be a one in between - when I reach 100 kg, that will also call for a celebration!
So how will I celebrate today? Maybe a couple of big bunches of flowers from the Camberwell market, maybe some Sydney Rock Oysters for lunch? My son is hopefully coming for dinner - unless he gets a better offer! - so that might be Jamie Oliver (15 min meals - has also changed my life! I now put chilli in everything!)chicken cacciatore with cauliflower rice instead of pasta - haven't made the cauliflower rice thing before, but it's yummy by all accounts.
Hope everyone has a good day!
