I Miss My Blog!

Since Google Blogger changed the format, i cant post from my phone anymore because my phone's we browser is incompatible. For that reason, i cant even update my blog, just view it. I have to go to an internet cafe so i can work on the pc version. That's the reason i haven't been updating and i dont even know what's happening here anymore. All the same, i love you guys and yes, i'm still on my program...:-)

Get Fit: Coast to Coast Challenge

Fellow bloggers at Get Fit: Coast to Coast are holding a challenge which starts today and i'm glad to be a part of it.

Basically, to be a winner, you must lose the highest percentage of body weight. The challenge starts today, 9 April, and runs for 8 weeks until the 4th of June.

Killing Myself With Food!

It being a holiday and all, i decided to put my fast on hold for a while, or until the Easter holidays are over. When i do get back to fasting, i want to start with water fasting for the first few days (7 to 10 days) then after that i can get into intermittent fasting. I want extreme detox to take place quickly for the first few days then when my body has cleansed itself of all toxins, i can move on to IF and gradually lose weight.

Day 16

Eating two meals has almost become sort of a ritual for me these days. I do have my breakfast in the morning around 9 and then my supper in the evening at 7. My water intake is not fixed to a specific time, though, i just drink water as and when i need to. I know i'm not doing myself any good by not drinking water as much as i should. I used to drink at least 2 litres of water everyday but it just sort of went away, now i don't like water as much as i did. I'm struggling to drink just a litre these days.

Day 15

I've always known that i have a strong willpower but what i didn't know is that it's very strong. I got a major test in my life today and i'm glad to say that i stood my ground and came out victorious.

What Is Intermittent Fasting

Wikipedia describes Intermittent Fasting (IF) as a pattern of eating that alternates between periods of fasting (usually meaning consumption of water only) and non-fasting.

There are many different ways of doing IF which may include a 24 hour period of fasting then another 24 hour period of non-fasting. The most common one and easiest one to do is the one where one gives themselves 18 hours of fasting then have a six hour period in a day where they eat low carb foods. during the six hours, depending on one's personal goals, a person can have one or two meals. Weight loss is not as rapid as when a person is water fasting but you do begin to see the results within two weeks. The average weight loss on IF is 1 to 1.5 pounds per week.

Because the weight loss process is slow with IF, people normally do water fasting first, then when they get to the desired weight, they start IF inoder to maintain their weight.

Day 14

I had breakfast in the morning, which was bread, eggs and coffee. Soon after i went to see my boyfriend, who tried to make of eat as soon as i got there but, of course, i declined. Later on, around 6pm, he went into the kitchen to get some food without even telling me that he was bringing me some and i was forced to eat it (i kinda wanted to eat, it's not like he held a gun to my head lol. I still could have said on if i really didn't want it). It was a light meal, though except i had Coke. He have me 3 slices of bread (second time i'm eating bread today!) with 2 slices of bacon and a beef banger then the Coke.

When i got home, because our maid was off work today, i had to cook for my father and sister. I did that successfully without even tasting the food then i retired to bed as they ate. So two meals today, plus 1l of water. Not bad!

Day 13

I had a hangover today, i lay in bed till 10am. I had a huge breakfast today which consisted of 4 slices of bread, eggs and coffee. Not really a good idea for someone who's trying to lose weight but damn, alcohol is the devil!

My cousin came to pick me up and we visited relatives all over town. Got back home and had my second meal for the day. Only managed to have a litre of water. I have to go to bed early today because i didn't get enough sleep last night.
