Monday

Well, I've learned that even if I stick religiously to the ED, our carb cycle and Eat stop Eat, over four days with no exercise I will start to undo the good I have done. They are only tiny gains but cautionary.
Monday (loss/gain (sniff) since Thursday) [loss since start]
weight 168.5 (+1) [-10.5]
chest 35 (same) [-2.5]
waist 32.25 (+0.25) [-2.75]
hips 39.5 (-0.25) [-2.5]
L thigh 24.25 (same) [-1.25]
R thigh 24.5 (same) [-1.5]
L calf 15.625 (+0.25) [-0.375]
R calf 15.5 (same) [-0.5]
L arm 12.375 (same) [-1.625]
R arm 11.875 (same) [-2.125]
TOTAL (+0.25) [15 1/8]

I managed pilates this morning and an adapted power circuit workout this afternoon (down from 86 reps to 50 but it's better than none) and replaced the back arching walkout with a pilates cat (or 10). Got my heart rate up and I feel energised for it. Will see what I can do tomorrow morning before the osteo. I definitely feel less broken.

Have enjoyed my treats today: yoghurt with berries and tomatoes with my nuts at snack time. I even found some brown rice sushi. Since when did a treat not involve chocolate or sugar? One final fast tomorrow and the final weigh in on Wednesday.

  1. Natasha,
    even if it seems the weight is creeping back without exercise, it will probably come right off once you start moving more again. Your body might also be ready for a break from 3 daily workouts, just keep going again once your back feels good again!
    Good luck with the fast tomorrow! :-)
