5:2 Diet - Week 4

Did not loose any weight this week but lost an inch on my waist and hips, neck is the same.

Fasting is getting easier. Snacking on non-fast days is way down. Events kept me from exercising Monday, i seem to loose the most when I exercise on fasting days. I don't remember Moseley making any claims about exercise on fasting days but there are plenty of YouTubers who do. At the moment I am exercising once a week, I need to expand that, just not sure when...

5:2 Diet - Week 3

Lost another 1.4lbs (11.8 total). Neck, Waist, Hips are unchanged. I had some weight gain mid- week but then dropped for the overall 1.4lb loss. Normal? Did I cheat somehow and not realize it? I have been  ust at work, so less overall exercise.

Glucose is still occasionally breaking 110 but the swings between checks are getting smaller.

Fasting days: Hunger pains are generally less. I have noticed my overall ability to focus decreases after 18hrs or so. I am staying within the 700 cal limit I set. The lack of focus presents when trying to write. I can still follow conversation (at least I have not noticed a decline) but composing content in my head is difficult.

5:2 Diet - Week 2

Results are not as dramatic.

• 4lbs lost
• Neck is unchanged
• Waist is unchanged
• Hips are unchanged

On average glucose is good. Had a spike in the 140 range but I ate the wrong thing that day.

Fasting has been ok, yesterday I went over by 100cal and was starving by the end of the day. I think that was stress.

5:2 Diet - week 1

Yesterday was fasting day 2 and first fasting day in the office. I had a hard time focusing and struggled with feelings of hunger. I exceeded my calorie limit by 88 cal.

After 1 week, I have lost 6lbd (water?), .5" around my neck and 1" around my waist. Glucose is looking good, no significant change in BP.

Lab results are in. We used Quest Diagnostics and they turned around the tests
In 4 days.

5:2 Diet Day #2

First fasting day. On day one I exceeded my calorie limit by 1200 calories (mmm... pizza). Not hungry yet this morning but kept staring at the food in the cupboard.

Completed the blood work two days ago, will get results in a week. This morning I took the following measurements:

1. BP
2. Glucose
3. Weight
4. Waist, Hips, Neck

insomnia

Random entry for lack of anything else to do...  insomnia has struck at the tail end of a wierdly timed and very intense head cold. I have tried all my tricks for getting to sleep but keep waking back up. after 4 hours I got tired of staring at the ceiling fan.

I know today is going to be a terrible day, still weak from the cold but have to go to work. To many things going on and my backup has dropped the ball...  dropped the ball, that would imply he was on the court - he left the court a week ago.

So i sit here in front of the keyboard procrastenating before starting my work day early. Lindi Ortega spills quietly from my iphone, the dogs are sprawled in their beds. inventories, shipping manefests, spreadsheets and access requests fly through my thoughts like an 8-bit screensaver I can't override.

Tomorr.. today, I get to sit down and discuss the transition that is coming. I get to hand off my current items but am not getting anything to replace them. For some reason that conjurers an angnts I was not anticipating. It is something I have known was coming and have contributed to (in a perfunctory manner at least) but reality is different than an outline laid out on a slide.

Well, the only thing left is to move forward, do the deed and wait for the unanticipated impacts...

Trust30 Day6 & Day7; Cheating

Over the last three days i have written a report analysing a project I was involved in that ran from Jan to May. And I just finished a presentation I have to present Tuesday at 10am.

So while I have not written something specifically for the trust30, I am mentally fatigued to the point I dont care. So I am going to claim these two things are my Day6 & Day7 contributions.
