gain goal regain How was your 5:2 day today?

[Globetrotter 1,340]

Hey Coops, how is the boxing going?

Today is a fast day, I plan on chain-chugging hot herbal tea all morning, have a very late lunch of a Protein Shake, a green superfood powder drink, and then dinner of a salad (what's up with the salad cravings lately, or maybe it's the fat in the dressing I'm craving?)

Glad your back on track Globe!

Swizzle, been there too!! Sometimes habit just takes over!! ( or an evil spirit!!!! Lol). If I pick up chocolate, its going to be bad!!!!

That's one of the weird things about this particular episode -- I'm not a huge chocolate eater anyhow, and I never ate six pieces at a go most of my life, that I can remember. It was just a very weird situation. I reckon I might have had too much caffeine and/or had a low blood sugar hit me right about the time those chocolates presented themselves. Just a one-off I figure. I didn't go over the deep end once my fast was done in by that, though, so that's good. Had a delicious taco salad for dinner. Yum. Now I want another one...for Breakfast.

Hey... I haven't started boxing yet... I think I'll have to wait 'til I'm 6 mths post TT cos it is 'vigorous' exercise. I am currently doing Curves 3-4 times a week and enjoying it. It isn't the same as the boxing gym but it is defo giving me good results and boy, do I sweat!

Glad to see you back on here - don't sweat about the odd 800 cal fast day - I would call it a semi fast day as there is still a huge cal deficiency in your intake!

About to have my green superfood drink, finished my shake a few minutes ago, does anyone know the hows of superfood drinking?

I don't even know what it means...? What is superfood?

[Globetrotter 1,340]

green superfood powder, made with coconut Water. Fiddleman has described it on VST, you can do a word search, I don't know how to describe it other than it is the stuff that juicers swear by for detoxifying and ultimate nutrition. I just made mine and took a sip and yeaach! like alfalfa dust in my throat, or sawdust!

Mmmm, that certainly sounds super!! LOL! Good luck!

...so I lost another .1 pound today. Its like finding a penny on the ground, eventually they will add up to a dollar!

FYE ---OMG I love this!!!!

end of my 'feed day', next fast is Fri this week. Been just ok today - did have bread and no nasty reaction...lol... always a worry! No real want of a meal, so a few Snacks through the day and then Curves which, I enjoyed. I had to make myself go 'cos I was feeling lethargic and not in the mood. Glad I went now though.

My kids are home from their holiday with my parents... So I have just over a week to get the four of us sorted before we go away. Gonna be a busy time, but the thought of two weeks with not much to do but relax and spend time with my family makes it worth while.

Not feeling optimistic for a good scale reading in the morning... looks like I have a new bounce range of 160 - 164, but you know me... I will keep on keeping on!

Hope everyone else is doing well... hugs!

Hey a new low bounce range sounds pretty good. Woo hoo!

About to have my green superfood drink, finished my shake a few minutes ago, does anyone know the hows of superfood drinking?

I have never been a juicer/detoxer...but I think it would have to taste ok or it just wouldn't be worth it. Can you add an orange or a bit of honey to it, so that it tastes better?

I am a Tues/Thurs faster... I have to say I actually really love my fasting days but I have a feeling today is going to be AWFUL!!!... I am having a VERY off week, On Monday I had a severe allergic reaction to something and my dr put me on Prednisone... Now I am retaining Water and gained 3 lbs since Monday... I have put my scale away and I am not getting on it until I am completely done the steroid... Unfortunately I had to take a 12 day course because we aren't exactly sure what caused my reaction and I couldn't see an allergist until next Wed night after all of my daily allergy medicine has time to leave my system. And of course I have all the crappy side effects that come along with taking a steroid medication... Bloating, increased hunger, edema... Oh and I have an issue with it slightly blurring my vision! Nice right!!! Oh well, good luck to all the Thursday fasters!

[feedyoureye 3,087]

Ima! That sounds awful. I think putting the scale away, and keeping up on your 5:2 is just the ticket. In two weeks things will look much better! Im fasting today as well, We can do it!

[Georgia 2,908]

Okay, Pals, hit new low this morning! 157 and 20 lbs down! And today is fast day!!!!!! Hoping for a little more loss tomorrow morning, since Friday is my official weigh day.

Let's get it!

That is scarey, and steroids are the worst. You are smart to just hide the scale until you can get it figured out. I hope you are feeling better soon!

[Supersweetums 1,164]

Congrats everyone, you are all doing do well!

Today is my second fast day of the week and I am feeling pretty good about it! Weight is still bouncing around, but it is bouncing at the lower end since I started 5:2 and I am happy about that!

Have a great day everyone!
