Day 17 – Cumbria UK – NFD
Happy St Patrick’s day celebrations to all our Irish or Irish heritage 31 Day March 2017 Challengers!
Not a good NFD yesterday ate around 500cals during the day then did a 1hr aerobic class but went out with DD in the evening – cocktails followed by a shared antipasti platter then a rib eye steak with veg and only a couple of chips but a large glass of primitive and then shared a pudding with DD and ended the evening with a Bailey’s coffee!!!!!!!!!!!! as a result a restless night sleep – we never learn……do we!!!!
Went for a very, very muddy 4 mile walk this morning with my Friday Walking Group but at least the rain held off for most of the walk, afterwards had a coffee and a scone with jam/cream for someone’s birthday but no breakfast or lunch for me today as out again tonight for a 3 course menu with accompanying wine tasting…….oh dear……..will have to be good over the weekend!
@songbirdme – good way to celebrate your 1 year anniversary – a real feel good buy that!
@gopackgo – great start to your 5:2 journey
@ciren2 – FOCUS ON THE GOOD – you are fasting for long periods and it does not sound like you are going over your TDEE – what about trying for a week of 18:6 as it sounds like you are achieving that easily and eat below your TDEE on those days. Maybe then consider adding one FD of 700cal for 1 week and so on – I also like the sound of @coda‘s advice – baby steps and remember that you are much stronger than you think you are – Hugs xx
@coda – some great advice given as usual and no apologies necessary!
@johnnyr and @In it to thin it – Respect on your 5 x FDs in a row – such self discipline – WELL DONE on achieving what you set out to to. @johnnyr – big OUCH….hope it heals cleanly
@lindasue – ignore what others say – you feeling good around your current weight is what matters!
@micheleas – well done on achieving your goal and having a maintainance plan in place – as it is a low weight I am assuming that you are not very tall…..Be safe and healthy x
@skinnylove – thanks for the update – amended
@quebecoise – so nice to hear from you – I have put you down as FD on Mondays and Thursdays on the spreadsheet as those were your thoughts but happy to update if necessary – hope you are having a fab time!
@fatteacher – Welcome – read my first post on page 1 of this thread and if you are new to this WOL @coda has posted some great links at the top of page 2. looking forward to reading your daily posts
@erika45 – I feel for you – three bad things in one day!!!!! but hope you realised that you still ended with such a positive thought for your day x
@sarah57, @okeydokey and @gopackgo – great weight loss so far in March
@monkeydo – high five to you for getting into the 70’s
@jojo58 – such positive posts and so good to hear that you are enjoying life
A big well done to those who are achieving their goals or even exceeding them – stay focused and positive.
Some great advice given to those struggling at the moment – what a great caring bunch we are on here offering guidance, support and advice to help each other along our journey – as I said before we are a global family caring for each other!
Personally I found that that when I plateaued – mixing things up a bit helped me achieve that final weight loss (around 7lbs) and reach my target.
Sometimes revisiting your TDEE is a good thing to do making sure that you are not overestimating your activity level OR doing a strict count of your calorie intake on one day to see if you are not underestimating what you are eating OR if you have moved away from the original 5:2 regime then go back and follow the basic principles again OR maybe it’s time to try 4:3 or doing a 16:8 on your NFDs.
