Week 3 Results

Here we are again for week 3 Results time and I have to admit, this week has been the toughest so far, but more of that in a moment. First the results.

This week i have stayed the same. This is not a surprise to be honest. I’ve almost completely fallen out of routine this week. My Fasting days are still going well but I’ve found myself slipping back into old habits, mainly snacking.

I also spent the weekend alone which always seems to make me extra lazy so it’s been ready meals and takeaway. I knew I would hit something of a small wall eventually. The best thing I can do now is stay positive and look ahead.

Weigh in Results Week 2

It’s been more than a couple of days since I last did a post. The weather has been amazing and I’ve spent a lot of time relaxing and just enjoying the sun.

I’ve still been attacking my diet but I honestly haven’t been going as strict as my first week. Although I’ve not been as strict I’ve still got results.

I’ve dropped a further 3lbs this week taking me to a nice even 19st. Even though this is nowhere near the same result as the first week, I’m definitely not disappointed. I’d be happy with losing 2lbs a week and that’s what I’m going to aim for.

Now about my recent posts, or more likely, the lack of. Instead of posting everyday, I’m going to start posting on specific days. Mondays will stay results day then blogs will follow on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturdays. Tuesday and Thursday will be my fast days and Saturday will be a feed day. 4 posts a week. Nice and even. This will stop me bugging everyone on a daily basis!

Day 7 – Fast Day

After my results yesterday I’m more than happy to get back on with it. I had something of a day off yesterday and had the biggest meal I’ve had all week. Gammon, poached egg, pineapple, chips and peas. Very decent. But I must press on.

Breakfast – 7:45am

1 tablespoon Greek fat free yoghurt and 1 tablespoon muesli – 134cals

Absolutely starving this morning so I’m changing it up. I usually wouldn’t have breakfast, I just settle for a hot drink but I’m making an exception today. Very satisfying, a welcome change. Today could be another difficult one.

Dinner Time – 13:00pm

Heinz Tomato soup – 236cals
Yoghurt Coates raisins (15g) 30cals

Work has been a good distraction today and the soup seems more filling today. Fitting in a little snack aswell just to keep off hunger for a little longer.

Tea Time – 19:00pm

Ham salad (4 thin ham slices, rocket salad, 1 tomato, 1 boiled egg, 5 small dill pickles with light ceaser dressing) – 326cals

On a nice hot day, sometimes a nice cold salad is just what you need. I never really eat salads but this really hit the spot. Plenty of salad is a great way to warn of hunger and its quite refreshing. Another fast day done without much trouble. Happy days

Day 5 – Fast Day

Today is my second fast day. I woke up at 7am (so much for my weekend sleep in) and by 9am I’m already hungry.

I can already tell that trying to have my fast day on a day away from work is a bad idea. I have no distractions today so that could be a big issue.

I’ve decided to skip my breakfast meal this morning and instead have a more substantial dinner and tea.

Dinner Time – 12.30pm

Heinz Tomato soup – 236cals

Haven’t had soup in a while and it’s low in calories so I figured it’s worth a try. Usually when I have soup it’s with about 3/4 slices of bread so it’s not as filling as I would have liked. Still, better than nothing. Only just though.

Brew Time – 15:30pm

Tea, semi skimmed milk, 2 sweeteners – 12cals

This is a bit of a cheat. On fast days I should only really have black tea or coffee but that’s not something I’m used to yet. I’m sure after a few more weeks of Fasting and cutting out my sugar intake, this will become more easier.

Tea Time – 18:30pm

2 slices of medium brown wholemeal toast (no butter), half a tin of Branston beans and 1 slice of Dutch edam cheese – 400cals

If you imagine really hard for one moment, you will probably understand how depressing this meal looks. I mean, really depressing looking. Don’t get me wrong, I love a bit of beans on toast, but this is on a whole other level.

Calling this a low moment would be an exaggeration but this is probably the hardest I’ve found it so far. I hope this is more to do with bad meal/day planning than anything else but I guess I won’t know until my next fast day which is Tuesday.
