Today is the first full week of 5:2-ing for me. I am not a stranger to fasting, I’ve done single days many times before. However, it is true that some days are just not optimum.

I’m sticking to it regardless today though, even if I’m feeling unusually hungry and am tired and just wanting to go blah today.

OK, so I slept badly (have had that cold people have been talking about and spent a number of hours coughing during the night); am still getting over a cold; and have had a more than average amount of stress over the past few months …

But heck, if you don’t start when you plan, when will the timing ever be optimum?

Looking forward to breakfast tomorrow and then also to my next fasting day on Thursday. 🙂

Thanks mcca.
I pushed through, was restless during the night (also from coughing), and enjoyed breakfast the next day.
I’ve got my 2 small meals already planned for tomorrow and am all geared up to go. 🙂
Fasting doesn’t normally drain me like on Monday. I guess it had a lot to do with the cold and accumulated fatigue.

Hi Dawniedawn.
I am very motivated and nearly brought the fast day a day forward. 🙂 Fasting feels good. It feels even more good now that I understand better all the health benefits it can bring (dropping weight as an extra bonus on the side).
I’m all set to go for tomorrow. I hope I sleep better tonight, that will make the day easier. Still coughing at night though. But very, very optimistic. 🙂
Have a great week!
Kirsten

BTW – what is mcca?
