2017 wasn't my year for weight control. My heart was only half into regular fasting and often only until dinner time. My weight was about 2 kg above my preferred/maintenance weight but during November/December I completely dropped the ball. I went on the scales this morning and I'm nearly back to my starting weight on 5:2, about four years ago.
So, today I start again. I went to the gym this morning, walked the dog and cycled to work. However, I have been doing that all along so that's not the big deal for me, it's the food; too many treats, too much alcohol, more than one serve of food and too many excuses to have a little bit more.
Black coffee, water, herbal tea all day, a cup of chicken stock at lunchtime, and the Mexican pizza from the original 5:2 book. Second fast of the week will be Thursday and a light day tomorrow (healthy, vegetable focused dinner, simple lunch, no treats to work). I am going out to dinner on Friday but that might make the two fasts I've planned this week a little bit easier.
Anyone joining me?
Cheers, Wendy
