My Hub just told me, he didn't like me doing this 5:2 thing because he needs my focus to be on him and his diet. His diet is to just not eat carbs. And I am pretty much servicing this diet with delicious nutritious food every day. I make him breakfast even sometimes. He does appreciate it. But not to the extent that it deserves. Am working on not being resentful.
As for me, am now on day 3 of doing it on 500 calories. Its an interesting process. I have discovered I can do it, obviously, and yet there is - eveyr time -the whole. OH MAN! I've done this challenge, what? do you mean I have to carry on doing it.... seriously?
So yes I am not relishing it, each day that I start I am dreading it. And this morning when I worked out that I put 63 calories (or some such) into my tea in the form of milk!!! WHA!??? I tried to drink black tea first thing and that was NOT a good idea. I am going to have to accommodate the use of calories in my tea... I like my morning tea - A LOT. And black tea made me nearly barf.
So I ate some breakfast and this was like an egg, some paltry amount of broccoli and half a tomato. Its not very much 500 calories when you divide it up into meals.
Having said that. I do now actually feel absolutely fine. Full even. My breakfast was sufficient and I am going dancing shortly and honestly I feel no different to when I normally eat breakfast. Am all high hopes again and this is a breeze.

I'm impressed you have got to day 3 on only 500 calories! - not sure I could manage that. I remember doing a 12 day food cleanse a couple of years ago, once I had finished it, I couldn't go back to drinking milk in my usual tea, I had to change to black de-caff tea with a slice of lemon, the lemon made all the difference and makes it a more refreshing cuppa.x
Oh god no! am doing the 5:2 so each day of fasting is separate from the last. I have days of normal eating in between!!! good tip about the lemon tho. black tea makes me barf!
