Fasting today Wednesday 17 January 2018
Posted: 16 Jan 2018, 23:03
Well, that is the aim... I have had a few days away and prior to that had friends staying, and managing my eating went out of the window. And there certainly wasn't any fasting.
So I am trying again to get into a routine of Wednesday and Saturday fast days, and attempting to get the evening snacking under control. But I can't think of any strategies that I am willing to do - and that I haven't yet tried - to help me stick to the plan. Novelty does help. I can't recall my first foray into 5:2 being difficult, and the weight came off easily and steadily. And I think I must have kept the evening snacking under better control. But over time the bad habits returned and now seem much harder to get rid of.
Anyway....
I have had a boiled egg this morning as I did some intensive exercise and I have read that it is important to have protein after such exercise and for the next 24 hours. Not sure if one boiled egg counts though.... I am also hoping it helps reduce the hunger pangs which I find I have great trouble handling now.
A lovely day in Melbourne. I am going to do a bit of weeding then off to the cinema to see "Breathe" - last chance today.
Best wishes to all!
