Still got a lot of work before I can think of wearing a bikini but at least the dress fits without removing a rib! Fasting today-had a sugar free energy drink to try to help me get through! Didn't sleep at all last night
Well done for sticking with it Heather! You're an inspiration! I've fallen waaaay off the wagon and feel really disgusting and embarrassed by my body. I have next week off and plan to start again.
I haven't stuck to it. Really wanted to but gave in so many times. I generally fast Mondays but rarely make a second one and know I could have lost so much more. I have started exercising properly though so just shows how important it is
Thanks Dietninja Great to have you along for the ride.
I just read back through all of my posts on this thread....it's no wonder I went off the rails. Working way too many hours, quite a few sleepless nights, migraines, our dog quickly dying of cancer, all while starting a new & challenging job. Crazy! Things are a bit more settled now (fingers crossed) so I'm hoping when I start again on Tuesday I'll be able to get back on track. Our new puppy (ended up naming her Tilly) is such a handful, but she is so much fun too. I forgot how much work and fun puppies are! My old dog was well trained, and didn't have a fraction of the energy! Till is just naughty. lol.
I'm actually quite worried about my health now - I carry almost all my extra weight in my belly, which is now bigger than ever - I know it's the worst place to be fat (and the ugliest) as it's linked with all sorts of bad diseases, included diabetes.
Ok, here goes day 1 of week 1 of my restart. Goals for today: consume no more than 500 calories, walk for one mile at a quick pace, do 20mins of cardio, meditate. Goal for the end of this week is to lose two pounds. It's 9:30am and I just had my first little hunger pang!
