Incontinent: No Man Is An Island

I'm trying this new thing where I stop beginning every sentence with some sort of introductory word like "Okay" or "Well" because I noticed I do that a lot and it irritates me.

First of all (I count this as a phrase and not a word so it's okay), fast results:

Height: 5ft 4in

Weight: 152lbs

Hips: 39.57in (+0.20in)

Waist: 29.53in (-1.16in)

Left Thigh: 23.03in (-0.40in)

Right Thigh: 22.64 (-0.59in)

Still making progress on my waist, which is fantastic! :)

I have another 40 hour fast, beginning tomorrow, so I'll post some more results afterwards.

I don't generally write my meal plans down unless I need to work out the math but I wrote down every individual food I was planning to eat today and its calorie content, especially for you guys. My fast ended at 12:30pm today (standard GMT) and it's important for me to get a full 800 cals for today before my next fast, to stop my body going into starvation mode. You all probably know this but I just thought I'd clarify.

I don't eat the same thing every day so I'll probably post a few more of these so you can see the stuff I'm eating day-to-day.

I'm a vegetarian, so I eat a lot of meat substitutes. I'm vegetarian for moral and practical reasons (I believe in the sanctity of life and I'm incapable of cooking raw meat and then eating it), but meat substitutes have a lot less calories and fat in than real meat so they're good to eat if you're trying to lose weight but can't face giving up chicken nuggets! ^_^ Anyway, here's my meal plan for today:

Breakfast:

1oz (25g) cheerios - 90 cals

85ml semi-skimmed milk - 42.5 cals

Hot lemon water - 1 cal

Breakfast total: 133.5 cals

Lunch:

2x Jacob's cream crackers (light) - 72 cals

4g marmite - 10 cals

1/2 digestive biscuit - 35 cals

Iced water: 0 cals

Total: 117.5

Dinner:

5 and 1/2 oz (125.6g) mashed potato with 50ml milk - 94.5 cals

1/2 Linda McCartney Farmhouse Pie - 206 cals

50ml beef flavoured Bisto gravy - 15cals

1 mini corn on the cob -105 cals

Total: 419.5

Evening:

Hot lemon water - 1 cal

Grand Total: 671.5 calories.

I have 128.5 calories spare. Normally, I'd have 110 left over, because I make my mashed potato with 5g of Flora light, but we don't have any today so I'm just using milk. I'd usually use the leftover calories on herbal tea or some more hot lemon water if I get the hankering for something sweet during the day. I also snack on cucumber if I get so hungry I can't bear it. It's a negative calorie food and it's only 10 calories per 100g anyway. Believe me, I tried to measure out 100g of cucumber once and it was far more than I could ever eat in a day so it really is a great snack!

I joined a site called Ana Friends today and it seems to be a good place for people like us to interact. It appears to be a mix of pro and anti-recovery people, which I don't think is a bad thing. If you feel like joining along with me, my username is Aine33.

I'm hating how my stomach is all potbellish (that is now a word) right now so I've posted this beauty here today. Oh, one day, my stomach will be that flat.

Quote for today

"All truly great thoughts are conceived by walking." - Friedrich Nietzsche

Nietzsche is my favourite philosopher and this is a brilliant quote of his. Expect more :3
Anyway, you heard the man, go for a walk, conceive some awesome thoughts, burn some calories and then come home and tell me all about it!

My 5 Song Playlist for Today

Time to go and make dinner!
