Day 15

I finally felt in control with my fasting today. The past four times were pretty tough and I had to sleep it off. I was really hungry around dinner time but I stuck at it and really enjoyed my chicken chow mein. My porridge was yuck today and I had this about 2pm.

We did weights in the morning (upper body) and went for a 55 minute walk this evening. I am feeling really good and feel a lot lighter.

Day 14

Temptation, temptation, temptation!  That's all I can say.

The day started promising with a bowl of cereal. However, I decided to try my hand at cooking one of my husband's dishes for lunch. He is the much better cook in the family but I thought I would give it a go. To my surprise, it was amazing! It was a Thai chicken curry with rice. I also cooked some couscous and made a beautiful big salad. Over the day I ended up having 6 pieces of chicken. I also baked cookis as I felt sorry for the kids and I only had one cookie. This is a miracle in itself as normally I would have about 5 straight out of the oven.

So I need to be grateful for small improvements, particularly in habits. I am still experimenting with my diet as I am trying to make it an eclectic approach of various diets I have encountered throughout the years.  The Body for Life diet and the Protein diet give you a day off per week. Ta says he doesn't want to do this until he is at his target weight. I'm taking the approach that I will do things in moderation on the weekend. I think our results are showing the differences in our approaches!
