F is for fasting

Last night I ate around 8.30 pm. Today I will be trying my hand at intermittent fasting. I will be happy with however many hours I manage as it's the first time. Fasting is good for the saggy skin when losing weight, I don't want too much of that!

So I'm not allowed anything more than 50 calories as that would be considered to have broken the fast. Honestly I still feel pretty full from dinner. The hardest thing for me is always the lack of coffee. Whilst I manage on black coffee if I don't have access to cream it's just not the same!

Last meal finished at 8.30pm
Awake 6.00am. (9 and a half hours so far)
Its currently 10.30 and I'm thinking about food! (14 hours fasting) but the thing is I don't think i am hungry yet. When fasting its really important to consider if you are eating because you are hungry, out of habit or thirsty. Im going to try thirsty with one of my favourite fruit teas.

So far today I've dropped the kids to school, come home, put washing on, stripped my bed, sorted washing, organised dinner for tonight hubs and I are having meatballs and zucchini noodles with masses of cheese, the kids are having sausages and mashed potatoes and veggies (probably corn). Tonight is a night where we can usually eat as a family because we are not dashing out to sport (don't have to leave until 6pm to get to sport so even if hubs is not home we are a bit more relaxed.

Things to do for tomorrow
sort out uniforms
sport bags
lunch boxes
washing on line
new sheets my bed
strip kids beds
make up kids beds
Washing to laundry for a good weather day
empty airer in lounge

12pm, hunger got the better for me. I went out to collect some eggs from the girls and had these 2 fried with some salt and butter. Feeling energised to crack on with my list

15 and a half hours fasting.
