But this post isn't about that. It's about finally making a definite decision to try the 5/2 diet. I've read and read Michael Mosley's books and others about quitting sugar and so on. If people's posts on various social media pages are to be believed the 5:2 appears to be the way to go.
So here I am. Day Two. Yesterday I consumed:
Handful of blueberries
Half a can of mixed fruit
Some roasted chicken with peppers
2 cheesy triangles
A few strawberries
4 cups of tea
Not bad for a first day. Probably a little over. BUT I had run 7 kilometres in the morning. So actually feel more fired up about that! It was my first longer run in 2017 and I needed to show myself that the 10Ks in June and July are feasible. It hurt and I walked a bit but I did it. And knocked about 500 cals away :)
So today I've weighed and taken photos and will do a photo and weigh once a week.
54 days until my birthday and I've planned all the fast days into my diary.
The rules for me are:
Plan ahead what I will eat on FDs
Only 2 slices bread on non FDs
Less sugar
A run 3 times a week
20 sit-ups a day
A glass of water on waking up
Alcohol at weekends only
Healthy dinner at lunchtime to take to work
Let's do this!
