Hi Folks
Thanks for the shout out @CandiceMarie I'm not getting emails to say I've been tagged hence the tardy response.
I am not missing just AWOL or more like lurking and sulking
. I read your posts as often as I can. Like others I'm not into the camping (tents) format and I struggle with this new site on my phone.
I hadn't been fasting of any kind for a while and put on 20lbs since my lowest recorded weight last year. I then tried 5:2 ing again but I get sabotaged in the evening, I have always struggled with fast days and I get uncomfortably cold to the point where I can't feel my fingers even in summer. So I am knocking that on the head. I am guilty of over reading as well so I have confused myself with various methods, I haven't found one that works which I can keep up and I have tried them all Fast Five, Calorie cycling etc I hate counting cals
. I have lost four stone doing low carb pre joining this forum, I had plateaued which bought me here but I think my body has had enough of me messing it about for all these years.
So this is where I am at now, back to no breakfasts which means I can get 15-16 hours fasting hours out of 24hrs. Still low sugar. Small lunch at work, same every day cos I love it, 100g of full fat greek yogurt with fresh blueberries, a teaspoon of cinnamon mixed in and topped with a small sprinking of my home made granola. Then dinner in the evening on a smaller plate. That is through the week. Weekends a bit of freedom cos we go out for drinkies and meals out.
Hubbie has found a 20min excercise walk that we do after work and before dinner. Across the road from us is a hill, not long but fairly steep so we power up it as fast as we can, round the block up again faster and round the block again it gets the heart pumping fast so I suppose its our version of HIT which is
better than nothing. I am also using my sit/stand desk at work, standing for half the day, just got to remember not to lean on it
I don't have much time for posting, with working and keeping a eye on Mum with Alzhiemers, we have some family stress too which is worrying, so life gets in the way as some of you know. But I will try and pop in CM's I'm fat tent or the senic route tent now and again with an update.
Happy fasting all
