Ok so I veered off a bit yesterday :-/ What can I say i'm a baker and this is my busy time of year - there was a bit of taste testing last night so i'll estimate around 700 kcals for yesterday - not great but again I feel it will balance out as I aim for 1600-1800 kcals on feed days.

I had breakfast scheduled but wasn't hungry for it - don't have strike through on this forum unfortunately

Ok so its incredibly difficult to bake presents for people and be on a fast day! I usually schedule my fasting days around my baking days but at this time of the year i'm baking every night and before you now it you have tasted a cookie to make sure its alright etc.

I reckon about 700kcals for yesterday - i'm over estimating to be on the safe side, as I don't save my calories up and roll them over etc I still feel i'll be on the safe side - it will be perfectly easy to fast over Christmas itself as I wont have a ton of baking to do.

Well........ I ended up taking a break over Christmas - I was a bit naughty but I don't think I was tooooo bad - the truth will be in the weigh in - unfortunately the weigh machine is out of action in Boots again so i'll go to the other Boots at lunchtime. I have a feeling I may well have put the 3lbs that I lost back on and i'm just hoping the damage isn't much worse. I wasn't that hungry whilst I was off and have realised it's because I grazed A LOT!..... My husband said he wasn't going to weigh himself because he knew it would be bad but I feel its better to just face it head on and then you know what you are dealing with


Anyhoo today is a new day and I have actually been looking forward to fasting I need a bit of a cleanse - I'll see how this week goes but I may do a 3:4 this week just to get me back on track.

I still havent had a chance to weigh myself :-/ will hopefully get a chance on Monday

Finally got to weigh myself today and as suspected I had put on the 3lb I had lost, now it was my first fast week last week and I lose on average 1lb a week so I have a feeling I may have put on 4lb and have lost one but hey i'll never be sure.

Its a fast day today and again I am really looking forward to it. One thing I have noticed is I seem to be eating more - i'm still staying under my 2k a day but I think i'm still in festive mode, my husband said something similar yesterday - so hopefully we'll be back to normal this week

Your going great kateyboo. This time of year is really tricky. I am just aiming to maintain for this 5-6 weeks of summer holidays here in Australia. Keep it up!
Xxx julianna

Aww thanks Julianna I have 13lbs to go and I really want to do this as - good luck with the maintaining

I feel good today - really energised, I have started a 30 day planking challenge - it starts off with 20 secs of planking and builds up to 240 secs and then as much as you can manage on the last day. It doesn't sound like much but when your body isn't used to it, its hard, I was shaking by 15 secs - i've decided to do it twice a day. I'll also be buying Davina's 15 min workout to try as well as I def need to tone up a bit and i'm not a gym bunny at all, i'm also going to swim once a week as soon as i can get to buy some swimming ear plugs. i'll post my progress.

I decided to have today as a fast day as it's cake club tomorrow night the downside of this is that I have to bake something tonight :-/ the theme is frugal so i'm going for oat and raisin cookies. My free graze box arrived today so that will give me some snacks fro a few days. I have decide to plank twice a day and see how I get on. I managed 25 seconds this morning so I will see how I get on tonight.

Wednesday 15th January

Mini cheesy nibble things and salsa from my graze box - 50

Bah! Today has been. Bit of a write off not sure what went wrong, I had 2 chocs from a box this morning and I've just had a couple of the cookies I baked for cake club :-/ and a couple of gin and slim lines........ Unfortunatley I can't fit in another fast day this week because I'm eating out etc so tomorrow I'll have no breakfast and a light lunch of salad and Friday I'll do the same and hopefully that will counterbalance today a bit. I would put today at about 800 to be on the safe side bah! On the upside I did plank for 30 secs tonight - onwards and upwards!

Today will be a more sensible day!
