So 5 posts in and I'm still on track with the fasting diet which is quite an achievement for me.
Last week I stayed the same which was a disappointment but this week the scales say that I've lost.... A pound!
That brings my total weight loss to 15 pounds.
The fast days this week have been harder than usual, Little H has a virus AND he's teething so there have been a few days where he's foregone food and just filled up on breastmilk. This in turn has bumped up my hunger but I've stuck to the 500 calories, even though I went to bed planning the next day's meals with military precision.
OH has also got serious about doing the 5:2 diet which makes it easier and we've been able to keep each other on track.
Exercise wise I'm still walking a lot and I'm now on day 17 of the squat challenge - it's getting much harder but I'm still managing to do them as well as the same number of bridges and twists and a move called good and plenty (not its actual name but I saw it on the goddess workout once and it works the abs!) you basically start with you bum and stomach pushed out then tilt your pelvis to contract them both and squeeze your abs.
I've been getting more comments this week as people are beginning to notice my weight loss - this is a good boost, especially if they come on a fast day! My clothes are also fitting much better and my belts are nearly all too big.
Here's hoping for another good week!
