Nikina70's Journal, 28 Feb 20

Tracked really well this week and did 16:8 IF from Monday to yesterday just because hubby wanted to try it too. He didn't even stick with it and broke his fast at 10am already from the second day. Overall I don't think it's for me. I did it for almost two years on-and-off a few years ago and it worked well then and I might go back to it some time, but just not right now. Back to a hearty breakfast around 8:30 for me.

I should mention that this 700g loss was during shark week so all the women who say it can't be done and bemoan the cravings - I say - it can be done and stop using it as an excuse. I know there are some extreme cases, but for the most part if you know what you're dealing with you can find a way to manage it and spin it to your advantage or set your mind to overcoming whatever that hurdle is that you've let yourself believe is insurmountable - you can change it - don't just accept that you'll gain in this week - it does not have to be that way! Not trying to step on anyone's toes, just my opinion and everyone is entitled to their own.

Worked out that I'm having about 3 litres of water a day, which is usual for me and probably more than enough. Been starting the day this week with 700ml with a tablespoon of lemon juice. Not sure if that helped me reach noon for my first meal, but I think I'll continue it next week.

I did 1h40 mins of YouTube workouts this week and our two trips to the rugby field so all good. I wanted to be at 65kg by today, but that's fine. Goal for March is 64kg although I'd love to reach 63.5, which I think will be my ultimate goal, and then maintain although Easter will be a challenge with lots of eating out with family visiting from overseas. So March is an opportunity to just be good before all that chocolate madness. Will take measurements on Monday morning and I think they should show some improvement so I'm feeling good about slowly chipping away at the old muffin-top. A great weekend to you all!
