#consecutivefasting

This week I'm doubling up again due to the fact that I did a consecutive fast!

10/03/14

3 Mushrooms, 1.5 tomatoes, 15 g Edam cheese - 90cal

Small pack raisins - 42cal

Tin of savoury onion tuna and 2 wholegrain corn thins - 163cal (total)

Orange - 69

TOTAL: 485cal

Felt good about this day! Enjoyed having lunch with a friend and went to the gym at 6.30 so it was almost more convenient to miss it and that was social too so didn't notice being alone for my meal as much.

11/03/14

2 weetbix, trim milk, 2 wedges water melon - 200cal

2 mushrooms, tin of tomatoes, red onion - 140cal

Small pack of raisins - 42 cal

Berries and yogurt - 99cal

TOTAL: 481cal

Crazy how hungry I am now after a two day fast!! Today was a bit more difficult, I felt like I couldn't do as much at the gym in the morning, but then went for a walk with some friends in the afternoon since it was so sunny and beaut. outside. Second challenge was the fact that my yogurt had been too close to the freezer and frozen :( very dissapointing. But that's alright! Third challenge was flavoured milk and crumpets at breakfast! But i abstained, just taking a cheeky couple of slices of watermelon and that was satisfying enough. (I also stole two crumpets so I can have them tomorrow but shhhhh).

An interesting note is that my weight had jumped up to 55kg on Monday morning, considering I'd been below 54 all of last week and even got down to 52, that was a bit disheartening, because even though I know water fluctuations are huge I was still hoping for lower. This morning it was back to 54 and I feel like it'll be even lower tomorrow but I want to try really hard not to put it all back on again on the five days off - the trouble with consecutive fasting I feel.

I definitely feel like I detoxed well after a consecutive fast - I was feeling really gross after the weekend and like I needed to really sort something out so that makes me feel a lot better - no additives or bad sugars or any of that stuff! I'm going to try and stay relatively healthy for the next two days and then I'm drinking both Friday and Saturday, and its a friends birthday on Saturday so that'll have to be a real day off. 

I've also had mad cravings lately for sugar and chocolate, but I think that's just because I'm trying really hard to reduce the amount of sugar in my diet. I'll just have to replace it with fruit!
