1st Week
Background
I started my 5:2 diet after seeing Jimmy Kimbel and his transformation. I googled it of course and I am so excited to do this. My husband has done this off and on for a few years successfully. But he has a knack for dropping weight super easily. 😛
Anyway, here I am and I’m starting with:
166 lbs
27.3 BMI
40.5% body fat
25.7% muscle
1475 RM kcal
49 Body Age (Actual Age 41)
I have an Omron scale that gives this information so I will add it once per week. I need to do some tape measurements too. So I will shoot for that in next week’s post.
So what are my goals:
140 lbs
20 – 22% BMI
My actual age = body age
Happiness when I look at my body
I have a big trip planned in November so I am doing the 4:3 -> 3 days of fasting Th, Sa and M
1st Week
I have had 3 fasts so far – pretty easy so far because I pick days that I know I am super busy and I completely forget to eat anyway. My 500 Calories come in the form of a super awesome drink, low cal, low sugar, high veggie count, low-ish protein, good fats, phytonutrients, etc. I will include the recipe in a separate post. Everyone that tries it, is pleasantly surprised by just how good it is. I have two of those drinks later in the day and a stick of cheese or apple.
Drinking lots water and drinking diet cola – I don’t drink coffee otherwise it would be that.
Exercise – I go to spin class on Saturdays and Sundays – Love it! On Mondays and Thursdays, I do an isometrics exercise program and has helped significantly build muscle, etc. – Love it too!
No weight loss yet per se but I feel really good and more slender. On my way to not feeling like a slave to food anymore!
Looking forward to next week.
Regards,
Doing It Live
PS “______, we’re doing it live” is a quote from a talk show host that still cracks me up today! And for me, that’s how I roll, let’s just do this thing and make it happen. 🙂
