Feeling very very confident about being back in ADF!
I had a very successful fasting day yesterday making up a nice meal of 2 chicken breasts and some Basmati rice with some Mango Chutney for my fasting meal. Came to under 600 calories which is spot on!
Today I was worried I would still be out of control on feed days, but nope! I have stuck to just under my maintenance calories and I feel great :) feeling very accomplished!
Things are looking up, I'm going to try my best not to weigh myself until Saturday 24th August and hopefully I'll get a hell of a good surprise ;)

Very slowly and sluggishly getting back up to speed!
Ok so I did quite a good fast on Sunday, but it didn't go quite as planned. I got the benefit of a fast but I ended up having a bigger meal at night time which I shouldn't have done, but oh well! I managed to do a very strong gym session on that day which came as a surprise - I'm going to try and do more workouts on fasting days for extra fatburn effect, but obviously keep an eye on how I'm feeling and not over-do it!
Today was a feeding day but I didn't feel good for the gym, I really should have gone to be honest...I will have to have a very good day tomorrow, a strong fast and a strong workout!
I'm trying to let a lot of the pressure off of myself because I've managed to lose 4 stone already this year and although I still have another 3 to go minimum, I feel it should be done slowly and manageable. If I can get 1 and a half lbs a week off I will be happy, 2 would be preferable...but I need to get used to being OK with the idea of losing such a small amount each week when in the 4 stone loss period I was shaking out strong numbers like 3 and 4lbs a week. Yes...that's to be expected because it was all the excess weight that really did not need to be there and now we're getting down to the hard to shift stuff...
Ah well. I will do a weigh in possibly on Saturday morning, but I may leave it a whiley longer than that. I'd like to get on with it without looking at the scales for a bit so I can just get used to it being part of daily life. With a bit of luck I can weigh in on Friday 23rd of august with a strong result. I very much doubt I can avoid the scales until then, but I will either do a weigh-in on Saturday or I'll leave it til then - we'll see!

Getting back into the swing of ADF
So it's been a slow week
I've been slowly getting back into the swing of ADF after I had a really rough weekend and coming off the whole plan big time!
I've been neglecting the gym, the weight has been coming back down again, but still I need to grab hold of it full force and start going to the gym again big time!
I'm not sure when to speculate a weigh in day, I'd like to be fully back in control before I speculate on one. Perhaps next Saturday as that will coincide with when you should weigh yourself on ADF if I do a full fast tomorrow.
One of the BIGGEST changes I need to make is feeding days. I need to get a hold of the calorie allowance and make it full of healthy food. I also need to make sure I keep my body active on fasting days to promote the fat burning effect.
Sorry again for the lack of updates, It's getting to me big time not being able to wrangle a hold of this and keep it under control! My only respite is I've managed to lose a lot of weight and KEEP it off. But I still need to push and get this last 3 and a bit stone off so I can feel and look a lot better.
Hopefully I can update you all tomorrow with how I've done an awesome workout and I've fasted haha!

Sorry for the lack of updates recently!
Well I haven't updated you all in quite a few days, particularly on my day of weigh in!
Unfortunately I've had a bad weekend and I screwed up my alternate days, I've also been very distracted by the stress of trying to sort out my student finances etc for the coming term - something I had already sorted out months ago but nope! SAAS likes to make things complicated. ah well!
Today I will start a fresh I think. A fasting day today sounds like a great idea. One thing I really really must do is get my feeding days working for me instead of against me. I was eating far too much on my feeding days and it just isn't on. I think the best thing to do is to try and portion my calories out on those days into sections, so I'll give that a bash!
I will try to keep this blog more updated from now on :) but I think I may stop weighing myself every week and perhaps just make it every 2 weeks or just every now and then - I need to get this last 3 stone off very badly and I think considering the way ADF works, I might just have to focus more on sticking with the whole ADF way of living instead of how much weight I'm actually losing. But I'll still need to keep the exercise up of course.
