So, this is officially Day 5. I've seen my body fat percentage go down as well as weight over the last two weeks but, today it went back up. Likely for a number of reasons - mainly that, on my off days, I think I need to be a bit more careful. I was thinking this morning that I may try this moving forward...on days immediately after fasting days (Tuesdays & Fridays) I will live it up so to speak. But, on the other 3 non-fasting days, I need to be smarter about my choices. And, I am still struggling to work exercise into the mix and I've really got to find a way to get around that. I did enjoy my "brunch" this morning. I had a couple of medium sized tomatoes (44 cals) with 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar (14 cals) and some kosher salt, 1/2 cup raspberries (43 cals) a hard boiled egg (78 cals) and a piece of baby bell cheese (70 cals). I haven't tried the lowfat version of the baby bells but, on the calorie counting days, I suppose I should try. Also, I've got to think through dinner tonight. I found a delicious recipe on Pinterest for a shrimp pasta that I may give a try (it looks delicious, right?)
I am a bit over the tilapia for now. And, just noting that you can search Pinterest for recipes - I tried "5:2" and "FastDiet". Not all of them are great but, I am on a mission. I'm adding the ones that look good to my new "5:2" board. I'll be sure to report on how good (or bad) they are as I get a chance to try them.
