Back to life and reality and pleasantly surprised. 85.5kgs

 Thursday 85.5kgs

We are home at last.  It has been a bit of a roller coaster as far as IF is concerned and the first few days were good.  Once we went up to Antony's it all started to go a bit wrong but I did fast for at least 16 hours every day.  I am absolutely blown away that on the scales I have only put on 300gms because I can feel in my body that my shape has changed.  My boobs are bigger.  Under my arms is bigger and definitely my belly and bum are bigger.  I won't measure but I am sure that I have put on inches.  At one point I did weigh myself at Mum's and I was 85kgs which is stupendous.  So I know that I need to get back on it and fast my way back to 85 and beyond.  I have 4 weeks till Becky comes so I want to be 84 by then.  Can I do that?  Of course I can.

The Plan!  
The plan is to keep fasting for at least 18 hours.  20 would be better and 22 would be amazing.  I am going to continue low carb and strive for BBBE which I know really works for me.
To help with the fasting I shall be doing coffee and salt in copious amounts and also get back on the vitamins in my eating window.  I have plenty of brine in the fridge.   I know I can get back on this and get my fasting window back up to near the 20's.

I have been doing some of the Wim Hof breathing and it has really helped me to sleep.  I am hoping that I can now start using it to help me when I am struggling to keep fasting.  I have a busy day today as I have a hospital appointment at 1.45pm.  That is going to keep me busy until at least 3pm.  I will take some brine and some butter with me and that will keep me going until we get home.  We should be home by 4-5pm so that will be fine.  

Today I am grateful for 

My home.  I miss Mum and Dad and wish I was there to look after them.  I am glad to be home though and with my own stuff and my own rhythm of life and with the ease of being just me and Mike.  Nothing is perfect but I have a lot of perfection around me.

IF - I know I can achieve some fantastic results with IF and it really isn't that hard once I get in the groove.  84 in four weeks is my goal and I am going to get there.

Week 5 and dose increase - 89kgs 14 st

 Gosh this is so tough.  I read all these people who are losing shed loads of weight and have no food noise and have to force themselves to eat.  If only! I have learned a saying whilst on the FB grou0s and that is 'Comparison is the theif of joy'.  This is so true.  I'll tell you something else that is the their of joy...l the bloody scales.  There is nothing more guaranteed to make you feel like crying than that square foot of glass.  But hey ho it is what it is. So today is the first of the 5mg dose.  I have to admit I am scared and really i had planned to take it yesterday but kept putting it off.  This morning I knew I had to do it and so I did the full 5ml into my belly.  I had been toying with the idea of doing a 3/4 dose but I am paying all this money to lose weight and it needs to bloody happen, otherwise it's just a waste of time and money.  There is still some liquid in the 2.5ml pen and I feel passed off that I might hav...

Week 6 - 5mg - 88.3kgs 13 st 12lb Read this often!!

 It's not exactly going fast.  I find it so disheartening when I read the massive losses people are having on the lower dose and on this dose but in only a couple of weeks.  It is what it is.  I am not exercising but I am so fucking tired all the time. I don't seem to have the energy for exercise.  I am trying to be careful about calorie intake and also protein but maybe I am not as careful as I could be.  I am not starving and I am trying to make this a way of eating that is sustainable.  I don't want to be not eating bread for the rest of my life.  If I want a bit of bread then I can have it after of course considering how the day is going. I weighed myself 2 days ago and I was 87.2kgs.  OMG I wanted to cry.  Sadly it didn't last as you can see from the numbers at the top.  I do reckon that alcohol is something which affects my weight loss.  I have not drunk wine and only had spirits with water.  Either vodka or spiced r...

Week 2 - 90 kgs 14 st 2lbs

 Week 2 Last week was quite surprising as I really had no side effects but also didn't have any positive effects like food noise reducing.   Well I don't think I did.   I did eat more healthily though.  I ate what I wanted and had bread and chocolate but not in excess and I think am thinking about food differently.   A couple of times I have left food on my plate, and a couple of times I have thrown food away where normally I would have forced myself to finish whatever was on my plate and I would definitely have put it in the fridge for later.  The scales have gone down but as they are mechanical scales it's hard to say exactly how much.  Today I took a photo of the scales so that I can compare. I think I have lost 2lbs but that is fine because at no time was I feeling like I was on a diet or deprived.
