Days 18 and 19

Yesterday Dax had us fasting. The great thing was it was from dinner on day 16 to dinner yesterday so you never have to face a whole day without food and you certainly don't go to bed hungry.


It actually made my day easier - I had an all day meeting so rather than traipsing across town with two snacks and a packed lunch I went with one large bottle of water which I kept refilling.


The meeting was really useful so I came out feeling buoyed. Almost feel asleep in the train on the way home though.

Had a great supper - chicken with onions, griddled courgette - almost my favourite. The kids had cream and spagghetti with their pasta and peas - I was jealous of the peas but it was a low carb day.

I had promised you weights and measures so here's what I posted on the 30 lbs in 30 days Challenge community:


Good morning everyone,scales still disappointing, but over an inch off overall and to be honest it feels like a lot more in the way I am looking and feeling.

I think the thing that would unlock extra for me would be bed. I was at a fundraiser last night - due to finish at 10 and it went on til 11.30 pm. As I was one of the organisers I couldn't just walk out. there is so much of this in my life during term time. Howevr, next week really does look very quiet so i am going to give everything my all in this final push.

Today I feel absolutely wiped out - got to go one more workout to get in before taking kids out for a meal.

Got a busy busy week-end but will do my best to post
