Thought I'd give it a go!

Thanks Rach! Hope you're right

Easy fast day today. Probably because I ate like a PIG yesterday!

1.5lb gain for week 7 :-( not surprised at all. Just need to step up my game!

At least I'm not bloated today. I wonder if it's the fasting causing me to bloat? Yesterday I could barely button my trousers and felt really, really uncomfortable. This morning they're practically loose!

I think it could be as I am very often the same. Someone once told me about having probiotics to help. I don't know if it works. I think it was probiotics anyway, I don't have a very good memory x

Welcome back Heather! Missed your posts and updates How was Vegas??? I think if I visited the states I'd gain half a stone. Lol

Thankfully there's nothing seriously wrong with my throat. The ENT put a camera down my nose and into my throat yesterday. Not fun!!! He said I might be allergic to something and has ordered a blood test to see. Whew!

It was amazing! Like a dream! The food is so bad but I didn't go TOO crazy! I actually think I've changed my attitude to food but let's see how the post holiday blues go! Put loads on last year not when I was there but when I got back! Just booked my gym classes for the week... Sad I know but don't wanna undo my hard work x

I've been looking for high fiber foods with very low carbs that sugar. Gonna try to make flaxseed wraps today

 

[heather_85]

Can't wait to get back to healthy eating! Everything was fat and carbs over there feel so bloated fasting tomorrow just have to bring myself to go to asda to get stocked up!

 

[heather_85]

My gorgeous mummy!

 

[xxxCazxxx]

Everyone looks like they're having a great time

Ok, first try of flaxseed wraps. Should've taken a pic. They're def not like normal wraps, but pretty good and definitely filling!

Here's the recipe I used, though I couldn't find coconut oil so used Olive instead.

Tomorrow I'm fasting and planning to have a tub of skinny butternut squash soup for lunch at 200 calories, and then a lentil burger with veg for tea which should bring me right at 500.

 

[xxxCazxxx]

I'm hungry!

 

[heather_85]

I'm not fasting today

Had Sunday roast about 4.30pm yesterday then fell to sleep about 7.30 pm! Woke up at 5 am starving so no chance I was gonna last! Oh well there's always tomorrow! Back to the gym tonight reality is awful! Came to work to a million emails and piles of post too busy to snack I guess!

Good luck!

 

[xxxCazxxx]

Yeah, I think reality is over-rated. lol.

Don't really feel happy fasting today. I can do it, but it's really tough, and I'm still pigging out like crazy on weekends which makes it hardly even worthwhile. Hmmmmmmm. The one time I actually started to lose loads is when I just cut out all carbs. I pretty much ate all the veg and meat I wanted, including full fat oils, butter, cheese, etc., but had nothing with bad carbs in. I remember it being quite challenging, but I never felt hungry.
