It's been a while since I caught up with you and reported on my progress on the 5:2. Today's a fast day and I'm struggling to be honest which is why I thought I'd check in and give you an update of the last month or so.
I've skipped a handful of fast days due to some personal issues and I regret that but the only way to move forward is to accept that I've had some off days and get back on the wagon. Sometimes life takes over and I don't think that the 5:2 is enough of a habit for me yet. I'd like to get to the stage soon when I don't even think about it on Mondays and Thursdays, get out of bed, go to work and let the day fly by. I've continued to read about peoples' experiences on the 5:2 online and am surprised about the number of people who don't have an issue exercises on a fast day. A new step class has begun at my gym and I've tried to attend twice but both times I've felt quite dizzy and have had to stop. I'd be interested to know how other people on the diet are managing combining exercise and fast days.
The weather turning sunny is going to help on fast days I'm sure. Having a salad with a hard boiled egg or some ham on a sunny day will be refreshing and healthy, although it's also nice to have a glass of wine in the garden when it's sunny out - but there's always tomorrow!
I hope your fast days are going fast and that you're seeing results. Will check in soon with further updates.
All the best, Emily.
