Today is the start of the second week. 5 days of regular eating, 2 days of fasting. Saw weight loss at the end of each of the 2 fasting days. So weigh in this morning will show what 1 week of the 5/2 will do.
And the answer is . . nothing. Weight this a.m. is 230.5--exactly what it was a week ago. Today is super cold here in Florida, so I've got an extra shirt on. Maybe 1/2 pound, maybe not.
Overall my eating for the week, on the 5 "feast" days, was pretty normal. In fact, I was really cognizant of the food I was eating, trying not to go overboard. I skipped some cheese, skipped an extra cookie after one meal, was pretty good. But yesterday could have been the problem. On a cold morning I woke up and decided we needed to have a huge turkey dinner Sunday. So I roasted a turkey breast on a bed of homemade stuffing, made some quick homemade gravy, mashed potatoes, even jellied cranberries. But even eating that, I only had one (huge) plate. And maybe I picked at the leftovers . . . So that's likely the problem.
So we'll see what tomorrow weight looks like, compared to last week's day 2 weight.
Good news is that, unlike last week, I don't have a raging Chinese-food inspired migraine headache. So the day should go better.
Started off with some Mystic Monk Breakfast Blend and sugar free Coffee Mate French Vanilla Creamer, 15 calories there. For lunch, I'm going to have a salad with carrots, hard boiled egg and some of last night's turkey, some low cal dressing, a small apple--overall only 253 calories.
So we'll see how tomorrow weigh in looks.
