12th Fast Day

Today was a good day for me I got up early to do my uni work at 7.30am, I did my work solidly till around 11.45pm where I had my first snack, which was a banana, which I only had as I was going to a Zumba class and I felt I needed the energy! That was all I had till around 3.30pm where I had my sandwich and then dinner at 7.30pm and a yogurt at 9.30pm.

Snack: Banana – 90 calories
Lunch: Kingsmill Sandwich thins, with a little chicken and cucumber – 150 calories
Dinner: Spicy Prawns and rice – 200 calories
Snack: Shape Yogurt – 60 calories
Total: 500 calories

I apologise that my fasting days are all getting a bit similar and a bit boring I suppose. Whilst I’m at uni I don’t do very exciting meals, when I’m at home I do seem to have more of a variety. But I guess it shows you can do this diet on a budget, and it really does save you money! Plus really do look out for the lower calorie rice and pasta because it makes such a different to the calories in your meals if you find a lower calorie one. I’m back to not feeling as hungry again which is such a relief because I did think I might find it hard if it carried on as it was where I was soon hungry. Shows that you just have to stick at it.

11th Fast Day

Sorry this is so late, this is from my fast day Monday, but it didn’t post for some reason! So, I weighed myself on Friday, and I’ve lost another 5 pounds, 9 pounds in total! Really happy with my progress! On the down side, today has been the hardest day yet, I’ve felt so hungry all day I’ve hardly been able to stand it, but I have got through it, it’s important not to give up, however hard it gets.

Lunch: Spaghetti Hoops – 110 calories
Snack: Shape Yogurt – 60 calories
Dinner: Sweet Potato Chilli and Rice – 260 calories
Snack: Coco Pops Cereal Bar – 83 calories
Total: 513 calories

I drove back to uni and I was starving so I had some spaghetti hoops at around 11.30am, then a yogurt pretty much straight afterwards. I then wasn’t too hungry till I had dinner at around 6pm, Morrisons basmati rice is really low in calories so I was able to have some with my chilli. This again was really filling just like last time, and I had frozen this portion and it seemed better than the first time! Then at around 7.45pm I had my last snack, a coco pops cereal bar, which are surprising low in calories, and really satisfied my sugar craving. So it hasn’t been the best of days but I know it’s working so hopefully I’ll get back to finding fast days a little easier soon.
