jmb3450's Journal, 20 April 2016

Seems like I've been in limbo with weight loss for a while now. It's kind of crazy to get this close to goal and bog down. I like the concept and health benefits of of 5:2 eating so I'm going to give it a go again, started yesterday with fasting until late afternoon and finishing the day a little over 600 calories. Today will be a normal eating day then Thursday I'll target around 600 calories again. 2 days of that a week.

My "normal" target RDI is 1850 calories, I'm thinking of varying my normal eating days so that the day before the reduced calorie/fast days are 300 calories higher. I'll make that up by reducing calorie intake 200 calories/day the other 3 normal days. Reasoning for this is the extra food the day before fasts/low calorie will make those days easier to handle. Sounds good in theory, we'll see how it pans out. I'm feeling my mojo back, just have to stick with it to get where I want to be. 15 more pounds or so and I think I'll be pretty good with it.

We've got another beautiful day here, I think I'll get some fishing in during lunch. Here's a pic of last Saturday's dinner. Have a great day.

Did you catch anything today?

I caught 4 Brenda, 3 sunnies and a smallmouth, let them go since I was at work, but had fun.

Oh cool, I used to catch sunfish and catfish at the lake my uncle lived on. As you know they can cause great pain to an unprotected palm. All of that fishing was done with a cane pole. I have 4 very nice rods and reels in the garage, but all that is really around here are spot, sometimes a good flounder. I miss going crabbing.

I think eating more than your RDI the day before your fast is probably more physiological than actually needed. I've found Im often eating less on non fast days, must be shrinking inside!!
