Hi All,
Well weekend with Dad navigated, and no harm done. I’m 0.5kg below my upper threshold, so it looks like the fast last week did the trick.
I did however come home with a sweet tooth (I couldn’t refuse Dad’s homemade cheesecake now could I 🙂 ), and even indulged it on the journey home… I’ll need to nip it in the bud today now!
Bay, sorry to hear your BP has gone up again. I know a lot of things affect BP, including colder temperatures in winter. Hopefully it’s a temporary blip.
Jayney, I read your link on the evil 7 elimination. A lot of those don’t feature heavily in my diet anyway, but I wouldn’t be happy to give up dairy (milk yes, yoghurt and cheese no) or eggs (my ‘girls’ would never forgive me!). So for me, everything in moderation…and some things even less than that… 🙂
Hope your cold season fast goes well today Bay. I suspect I won’t be fasting this week, but perhaps next (after the bank holiday weekend).
Lichtle, I had a few months where my recorded weight (Saturday morning) was under ‘goal’ but my post weekend weight (Monday morning) was always over. I was always annoyed to see 60.something on a Monday. Silly really, since my goal weight was a bit arbitrary (it could just as well be 60.5kg since that’s a nice round 9st7, and when I set out on 5:2 my goal had been 10st/ 63kg anyway!) and I was maintaining around it! Funny the way the mind works!
