Well so far, I've managed to have two bottles of water - approx 1 litre each and the lime and cucumber are still going strong.
I've also had my mugshot as my tummy was grumbling so much and after x2 cups of hot green tea, I finally gave in.

I had a walk out at lunch and got a pack of Melon, Mango and apple 'fingers' that have only got 54 Cals in so have got that in case the craving for food gets too bad this afternoon!

I had scrambled eggs and salmon for breakfast which filled me up more than anything, and I only had my mugshot at 1pm, have just had to have a bit of the fruit though as I was starting to feel dizzy, but it's gone off now.
I bought a bottle (well 2 as they were on offer) that you put fruit in the chamber that then screws into the top, then you fill the bottom with water, screw it all together and the chamber is submerged in the water, giving it flavour. I dont really drink a lot of water as I can find it boring, but this is like a new lease for me.

How many calories are you having on your fasts? Smoked salmon is the breakfast of winners!! Xx

 

[RiaLou80]

Hi Pip, in having between 700-800 which I know is a bit more than the actual 5:2 but for me, anything less is better! Xx

[BinkyBonk]

Tuesday and it's blooming freeeezing in here today!
typical the day I haven't put a vest on under my shirt and have got my tights, skirt and ballet pumps on!

Monday fast day I managed to clock up 824 calories which for me is better than the normal 1700+ cals I normally end up having.
Today it's back to eating normal - well SW normal anyway!

Pre-breakfast - Hot lemon Water
B - Half a white grapefruit and portion of multigrain porridge
S - peanut Hi-fi - 6 syns
L - something warm at this rate - possibly a jacket potato with some beans
S - Toffee muller
T - We've decided to go out for tea and have plumped for Toby Carvery - lots of veggies and lean meat for me.

Oh I hope it warms up sooon - I want some :character00180:!

I'm going to try and do the 2 days this week and see how I get on, It's all about the planning as with anything isnt it!

[RiaLou80]

Well it's got a bit warmer in here this afternoon thank goodness, my fingers were in danger of turning blue at one point!

For lunch I decided to have a jacket potato with a chicken skewer, with a helping of Low Low cheese instead of butter.
Then this afternoon, as I was feeling a tad tired, I went for a small hot chocolate out of the cafe machine. I managed to avoid the flapjack that I could hear calling me from the cake table!

I've been and bought some more eggs so that tonight when we get in from Toby Carvery, I can make a SW quiche, with bacon, sweetcorn, red peppers in and then have it possibly with beans or another jacket potato tomorrow for lunch.

The planning is so important on a fast! I have to know exactly what I can eat and when!! xx

 

[RiaLou80]

Well after the hubster picked me up from work, he's a bit on the tummy poorly side so we've decided to stay in tonight and go to Toby tomorrow.
Now to decide on tea!

 

[RiaLou80]

Quiche in the oven for tomorrow, we've had a bit of a naughty old school tea.... X2 potato waffles, spaghetti hoops and...... Minced beef and onion crispy pancakes!!! Oops!

I can't have things like that in my freezer - I can't be trusted!!! Yummy!!! xx

 

[RiaLou80]

We're still eating rubbish from over Xmas so at least now they are gone! I'm sure they are smaller than they used to be!
Waffles and hoops are my fav hangover meal!!

 

[RiaLou80]

HUMP day peoples!

How are my fav's today?

It's been a bit of a busy one for me today - had to come in an hour early and go to a meeting till 9.30 which meant no time for breakfast. Lunch eaten and then I've just had to cave in and have a hot chocolate and a piece of flapjack.
I'm not stressing about it as I don't want to lose it too quickly before June and then risk putting it back on before the jollies.
As the hubster is feeling bettter today, we're going to Toby Carvery for tea tonight.

Eats have been -
Pre breakfast - hot lemon water
B - Rocky Road Hi-fi
S - Rocky road Hi-fi
L - SW quiche - lean smoked bacon, orange pepper, mushrooms with beetroot and cucumber and half a jacket potato shared with the hubster who's had the same.
S - 3pm treat of hot chocolate and flapjack.
T - Toby Carvery

It's nearly the weekend peeps!
