craftyailzI'm losing track of the days.
I'm on my 3rd day of my next set of fasting. I reckon if I fast for 5 days and then eat for 1, I'll lose some weight so that I can then go onto a maintenance diet and try to work out how much fasting and eating I can do to maintain a decent weight. No way do I want to put it on again.
I'll still be fasting as I want to lose inches off my waist still - and resist getting loose skin by encouraging autophagy (where the body eats old cells and proteins to make new ones instead of just leaving them lying around). Also as long as I stick to the No Flour, No Sugar mantra I'll be able to eat pretty much anything I like.
Yesterday I cooked for the family - Jenny & Ian too. I made veg in a cheese sauce and apple crumble. I roasted different types of veg - aubergine, courgette, sprouts, beetroot, potatoes, celeriac and swede - and fried up mushrooms and onions in butter and then made the sauce around them, added cayenne pepper and mustard and then threw in the roasted veg. It seemed to go down well, and there's enough for today for Shirley & Tony too - although they ate all the giant yorkshire puddings yesterday.
I seem to be ticking over okay. My cold is finally going. The cannabis oil is helping with my tremor - I hadn't realised until Jenny asked how it was yesterday.
