FINALLY broke through the 11 stone barrier!
I've been bouncing off the (entirely arbitary and self-imposed) 11 stone barrier for several weeks, and last week I finally broke through it: 10st 13lb at the "Week 31" weigh in. This feels like a big milestone for me, as I haven't weighed 10 stone something since I stopped going out raving every weekend, a long time ago!
Again, intermittent intermittent fasting has been the cause of my weight-loss block: there have been a couple of weeks where I may have "forgotten" to fast, including during Week 29, when I had a bad cold and gave in to the feeling that I wanted to eat constantly! Why not? I said to myself. It doesn't matter at all if I miss a few days here and there; I have no intention of stopping fasting. Ever.
I realised that over the last god knows how many weeks, my fasting routing is so set in its ways that there's really no need to keep recording what food I eat on those days. Now, I simply record whether or not I fasted, as well as trying to weigh myself each week.
To reiterate: on each fasting day, I eat:

To reiterate: on each fasting day, I eat:
- 2x scrambled eggs for lunch (approx 200 calories);
- Tinned tuna with a tablespoon of Hellmans Mayo, and green salad (approx 280 calories), or;
- Poached salmon with green salad or wilted greens (approx 350 calories).
I usually have some vending machine teas and coffees throughout the day, aiming to keep within the 600 calorie limit.
I usually stick to Monday and Thursday as my fasting days, as this tends to fit in with our family activities during the week. And who wants to fast on weekends? The weekends are what wine and dining out are for!
