Hey lovely, how you doing?
When you thinking of starting 5:2? I am dabbling with that & SW as a hybrid diet thingymajig and to be honest, just googled 5:2 meal plans and loads came up and just created days outta that. I try to keep sw principles even on that and have 3 meals a day. But I'm only a week and half into it so... can't really pass too much judgement on it. Opal lil and gingaling have got some great ideas or as hendo said, have a look about the forum.

Well that was a long winded waffle!! Xx

Hiya hun! I'm doing ok thanks...holidays are great! I'm planning on starting 5:2 on Friday, which is my normal weigh in day, with fast days on Monday and Thursday as suggested in the book. I think I'm going to try just eating reasonably healthily on the other 5 days for the first week or 2 before trying to get my head around combining SW and 5:2...I'm a bit slow with getting my head around new things sometimes. Shocking really considering I'm a teacher, haha!

Now there's a waffle for you, lol! Xx

Hi - I don't have a diary - I just float about here - learning from everyone's dieting highs and lows.

Sounds like ur doing well at this difficult time - take carexx
 
Morning all!! How are you all doing? It's day 1 of 5:2 today and it's a feast day, so to speak. I've decided to have my fast days as Tuesday and Thursday this week, but will probably try to do Mondays and Thursdays from next week (once I'm back in work).

Here's what I'm going to have with some soup today:

Cheese, bacon and courgette muffins. Nom!

I have no idea hun, I'm following 5:2 at the moment. They're probably quite high though due to the flour and butter in them xx

Hi - I tried the 5:2 diet but couldn't cope with the low cal days (greedy me!) I know this is obvious but thought I'd mention it - have u looked at the 5:2 threads here plus the 5:2 website - I thought that was very useful.

Just read the post on the Hairy Bikers cookbook - I have that and there's some good 'real food' recipes in there - here's a link to a nice pie recipe I just googled - for one of ur non-fasting days - lots of others came up too if ur interested.

BBC - Food - Recipes : Low-fat minced beef and potato pies

Last night was my first proper night out for about a month...feeling slightly rough today! At least it means I don't fancy diving into the easter egg my aunt bought me! I haven't had an easter egg since I was about 10! :D xx

Hi - glad u had a good night out - naughty temptress aunty!! Take some asprin and enjoy ur dayxx
 
Happy Easter to you all! I'm not feeling too bad...I didn't drink that much so I don't get why I have a hangover!

On a more exciting note, I've just booked tickets for my mum, my aunt and I to go and see West Side Story in Cardiff in August. My mum's never been to a musical so I thought it would be something for her to look forward to. She's not having a very good day today bless her xx
 
Blimey I'm flagging now. 4 hours sleep is just crazy really! Not that I've been sleeping brilliantly the last 3 weeks anyway.

I can't remember whether I actually posted that Mike and I have split up? It was my decision..my dad dying has really made me think a lot about my future. While I was never really interested in having children before I've come to the realisation that I do want children to be a part of my future, and for me Mike is too old to consider as a father to a child a few years down the line. He'd be nearer to 60, and after seeing how badly my younger brother has been affected by losing his dad at a relatively young age, I couldn't risk that happening in my life. I know it's irrational really as no-one knows how or when they are going to pass away, but I can't get the thought out of my head. At the end of the day, it was kinder to Mike for me to end things now than to carry on with the relationship :(

So much change in such a short time...my head is still in a spin xxx
