I'm coming to the end of my second fast day so time for an update. I was planning on posting sooner but life has got in the way!
I made it through my first fast day relatively unscathed although did learn a valuable lesson in that deciding only to have some veg with my chicken breast was not a great idea. The chicken was about 160 calories leaving me over 200 calories. At this point I realised just how much veg would be needed to make up 200 calories, suffice it to say I don't want to see a cabbage again any time soon!
My usual fast days will be Monday and Thursday but as I had a wedding to go to yesterday I switched it to today. Breakfast this morning was a poached egg and a slice of toast, definitely need more practice at poaching eggs but apart from that a successful breakfast. Felt quite hungry today but made it to dinner time and cheated by having a low calorie chilli con carne ready meal that came in at just under 400 calories. I'm starting to feel hungry again now but, oh well, it will soon be tomorrow and I can eat normally again.
Won't be long now until my first proper weigh-in and waist measuring session and we'll see whether there are any early results. I must admit I did have a sneaky go on the scales mid-week and was a pound down on my starting weight so fingers crossed!
Time to chill now, bit different from a usual Friday night, no beer or munchies, glass of water and a film anyone?
