Today is my second fast day. The plan is to skip breakfast, and eat a very small lunch (some M&S grilled calamari) then a heftier dinner (chicken saltimbocca with green beans and roasted cherry tomatoes).
I'm going on a long walk this morning to distract myself. And also hopefully ease some of this health related anxiety that's been dogging me for days.
As far as my weight is going, I had a sneak peak last Wednesday and was very happy with what the scales said - down 2.4kgs to 90.2. Bearing in mind that is also the difference between being weighed fully clothed in the afternoon on different scales, I was still pretty pleased, and so I stepped on this morning confident that I'd finally get back under 90 - only to see it stay the same. I know I shouldn't let that worry me, but I had counted on having a bit of a mental boost this morning. I think I would be more ok with it if it hadn't been for the fact that Saturday was a fairly boozy, indulgent day, so of course I immediately thought to myself that that must have ruined everything as a result.
But I mustn't let it get me down! Perhaps I should weigh once every two weeks, instead. The Fast Diet book also suggests taking measurements - I tried this as well but when I measured myself again one measurement was 10cm more than the first, and the other was a full 5cm less. Something tells me I didn't quite manage to do it correctly the first time. So along with intermittent fasting, perhaps intermittent weighing is the way to go.
