Hello, beautiful people. Just thought I would check in let you know how everything is going with my weird and wonderful fasting diet... So today is coming to the close of my 7th fast day since I started on the 15 April. The plan is to weigh myself tomorrow morning at the end of the fast, so no tantalising info just yet.  There has definitely been a steady loss and, as I said to Pepe tonight, this is the third weeks of the diet and I still feel motivated to carry on... not something I could say for the others diets.

I was pleasantly surprised today when my friend Juliet commented on how my clothes look looser! it made my day. Clearly I am easily pleased! Anyway, thank you Juliet for making me smile!

Keeping up with my commitment to exercise on fast days has proved a little bit more challenging this week. I have but both sessions were harder than expected. On Monday night I had a session with the running school and did about 40 minutes of HIIT training and then 20 minutes of Swiss ball exercises and stretches. I'm not sure if it was  the fasting or the fact that I've been injured and not been able to train properly, but my recoveries were taking a lot longer than usual, probably about 10-15% longer  to get my heart rate down to the 140's before starting the high intensity intervals again. In the end, I still managed a full session and did not faint for lack of sustenance. Tonight, I ran 3kms on empty and then did another 30 minutes of weight training... again, hard and there were points were I thought I could not lift the damn dumbbells, but did  a full set of chest, arms, triceps and back exercises. I figured given that I had run 3kms I could skip the leg exercises :P

Right I'm going to post this and wish you all a good night and pleasant dreams.
