I flamin’ well love this lifestyle you know, been doing it almost a full year and I will never look back. I’ve done my fast days for this week so when a colleague offered me cake in payment for helping her out with something just now did I need to demure and do the usual “Oh no I couldn’t possibly”? Did I heck! Straight in there I was….massive wedge of cake for breakfast – THAT’s my kind of ‘diet’.

If it’s your fast day today – sorry for dangling that in your face but just think – you could have cake for breakfast tomorrow if you want 😉

Must be something in the air this week – I’ve been having a terrible time fighting temptation on my fast days too. Still – it’s a marathon not a race and the odd ‘bad’ day in amongst lots of good ones isn’t too bad.

P.S. The cake was fantastic – she’d made it herself. I probably shouldn’t have had the second slice *wedge* though – that was probably my entire day’s allowance of calories in one go… Oh well.

Singstar, good for you and good luck with your 5:2 journey. I would like to stress that cake for breakfast isn’t normal for me and probably wasn’t my best idea (the day before my monthly weigh in – Doh!) but it is the beauty of this lifestyle – you can do it, if you want to and it’ll still fit in with your ‘plan’.

If you’re anything like me you’ll have woken up the day after your fast with absolutely no burning need to hit the cornflakes but that’s the beauty too – everyone’s different and finds their own way of ‘doing’ this ‘diet’ that’ll fit in with their life and their personal needs.
