So I've had a busy weekend, working a lot, but I haven't fallen off the bandwagon.
I weighed myself less though, last tim I was 164 lbs and yesterday I was159 lbs. I just don't weigh consistantly at the same time of day, cos my schedule's all messed up.
I've been pretty good on fast days, not eating if I can, or else justa few hundred cals. Sometimes I feel a bit faint befre/during a long/busy/hot shift, so I'll eatsomething; fruit, cereal, something healthy.
Today I've had a slice of granary toast for breakfast and some pineapple and lemonade at my desk, I love this drink, it's awesome, everyone should try it. Also if you're ever drinking and bored, try coconut rum in pneapple juice wiuth a tiny dash of lemonade on top. Wow.

Fasting Day 4
Fasting Day 4
Today's been even easier than the other days, I genuinely haven't even thought about food until maybe 4 or 5pm, it's nice not having to worry about it actually. I didn't have anyway till then either, so that kinda curber the hunger a bit.
I went for a nice long run at about 3pm, about 1 mile and 3/4, (took 12 mins per mile) and followed it up with a 30 mins yoga session. I think it's the perfect combo to be honest: a run helps you warm up for yoga, and yoga helps you cool down and stretch out the muscles you used. I felt great afterwards.
The only blip today is that my housemate has cooked my some dinner, which is lovely of her, and she thought it was my eating day. It wont be any more than 500 cals though, so I'm still within the days limit, should be fine right?
I also had a tsp of Coconut Oil before the run.

Normal Day 3
Normal Day 3 (157.8ish...23.8 lbs to go)
15th August
So last night/this morning we broke our fast at about 12 am maybe 1am, because that's when we stopped eating the previous day. Is this cheating? I'm not sure...
We had a little ice cream and cake, cos we couldn't help it. Then I had a potato and aubergine dish with peas and rice, not very much mind you, I shared a pack of crisps with the man, and a piece of baguette (a tiny slice) with a bit of cheddar on it. I felt much better after that, as the G&T I had was not a single as I'd thought but a triple, and it hit me hard. Also fasting during TTOTM is difficult for girls, i think anyway.
So this morning I was tired and in a rush so I forgot to weigh...although I've heard you shouldn't weigh yourself everyday anyway as things fluctuate, so mayb I'll do it next Tuesday. Last night I weighed myself and the scale said 157.8 lbs and the man was 166.6 lbs not that he needs to lose weight at all.
So I'd love to drop 20lbs...I'm pretty determined, although I want to keep it off, and this is why I refuse to feel guilty about eating 'naughty' foods, because I won't be able to keep up eating 'good' foods only forever.
Anyway I haven't has any food yet, just coffee, (2 sugars cos I'm tired...yeiks!) and I'm looking forward to lunch I've gotta say.
I feel like so far on fasting days I'm looking forward to eating days, and on eating days I end up looking forward to fasting days though...maybe I should relax and enjoy the moment.
I heard a cool mantra on another blog which I've though of in the past "Time will pass regardless" so I'll sit tight and stay on track!
I'll update later...
------------update------------
1pm
Had lunch, a delicious homemade (by moi) cheese and tomato omelet and beans with a little coleslaw. My sister also made me a hot chocolate (mainly with water, splash of milk) with cream on top >.< I know, I know...no bread though, which is usually my downfall, so that's a plus, right?
And I also snuck three mini donuts...they were worth it!
Now back to work...it's tipping it down, really fancied a run after work, but like, I mean it's raining like never before...so maybe not. I might do some yoga though, a half hour or so.
And I cannot resist the biccies...dark chocolate...mmmmm....
-----------update 2------------
So I went for a lovely 20 min run, did a mile and a half with my housemate, ran through the local park, it was quite sunny. I didn't do yoga after that as there was no time, but maybe tomorrow.
I had to head right out after my run and shower for my boyfriends gig.

Starting a fast!
Fasting Day 3 - 160.8 lbs
Tuesday 14th August 2012
So I've decided to try this fasting thing with my boyfriend and see what all the fuss is about. IT seems bloggin/diaries help people with diets and stuff, so I'm giving it a whack. I've completed two whole fasting days (well, kinda) so far, although the first one we gave up on (it was really sunny and we were at a BBQ) and the second one I think we completed, but I did eat a pear and basically drank juice all day long. So I'm going to try today and just drink water and green tea. We will see, I'm kinda hungry but I'm just sat at a desk so I expect that. On Sunday I was working in the pub in my other job and it smelt like food, but that wasn't too bad surprisingly.
I tsp extra virgin coconut oil
Drank a few cups of green tea, some water but felt faint and dizzy and sick at about half 3 so I had a couple of coffees and that helped a lot.
Also had a slim a soup and a tiny taste of avocado, and another tsp of coconut oil
Exercise
Ran for ten mins
Started yoga but only for 5 mins as I had to shower for work
It's a challenge today because after the staff meeting there's a leaving do for a colleague and decently good friend, Laura. They all want to get very drunk, but drinking on an empty stomach especially with work the next day is the worst idea ever, so I'll be exercising self control and passing.
----------edit 9pm---------
There was a staff party tonight an I had 2 G&T's and now I feel instantly tipsy/woozy. Don't recommend at all.
Also had a taste of the chocolate covered popcorn, according to the packaging I consumed less then 40 cals tho, so I don't feel too guilty right now...
