Chris' 2014 Exante Diary.

I hope today is gentle with you Chris. Hopefully you'll be in the swing of the 5:2 quickly. I think the 5:2 SW plan for your wife sounds more suitable for her and it's quite an appealling idea actually . Have a good day :)

Day 3 Cont FD

Had an banana before I left the house @ 06:30 100Cals

Exante porridge for breakfast once I got to work @ 0900 200Cals

Nothing for lunch

Gym @ 13:30. 5k on the rower in 23:45
4k on the treadmill in 20:04
2.4k(or 1.5 mile in old money) of that was in 11:24 so less that the 11:30 i need to do it in next month.

Tea-: had planned on exante meal but after cooking sweet&sour pork for the kids i decided to work out the Cals in it and I think they should be about 110Cals per 100g,(as the pork mince was 130Cal/100g and the sauce was 75cal/100g) so I had 250g for my tea with no rice. I have put 90g of boiled rice and 180g of S&S pork to one side for Fiona as she is on a Fast Day(FD) tomorrow in work.

I'm off to Phoenix House Recovery Centre, the Help for Heroes recovery centre in Catterick tomorrow for a look around and a chance to see how H4H spend the money I will raise when I go to Vietnam. So no gym for me tomorrow, guess I will just have to smash a hard session out on Thursday.

I had a fantastic day, it was great to see what all the money goes towards. And why most of what they provide isn't government funded. It has made me all the more determined to raise as much as I can for this worthwhile cause.

Just looked at the link. I will sponsor you Chris but I will have to wait till next months wages though. All very worthy causes,
Last year I visited one of my patients who was an RAF widow & now a pensioner. Did you know that they put funds aside for them so that if they need something in the home that is health related & if the local authorities won't help, they will help pay for it. I was very impressed.

Off to sleep now, new WI day tomorrow. Will see how I get on, I know I was +6lbs on Monday so lets see if I have offset any of the damage. I would be happy with a STS from last Fridays early WI.

Good luck for weigh in :)
 
Day 6 SWRD,

First 5:2 Weigh In and the results are STS( well after last weekend it's really a 6lb loss:D) not in ketosis so it is proper weight loss not just Glycogen.

Finding the fast days quite hard as I do feel hungrey, I just focus on being able to eat tasty food the next day. I think as a long term plan it will be far easier to stick to as the SW days offer far greater range of meals. I was really really bored of exante meals by the end of week 3.

Anyway will be going to the gym today. thinking about 5k row 5k run. need an early night as I am off to Southampton tomorrow morning at stupid O Clock to collect money for H4H, so anyone in the vicinity of WestQuay shopping centre come and say hello, I will be by the first floor entrance.

Breakfast -: 2 soft boiled eggs.
