Fast 5 Diary February 12 - It's a process not an event :)

Still pretty high on Fast 5.  Still in a plateau.  So if you put it in perspective, I am down about 2 pounds, which is a lot for a "little loser" like me.  I still hope I can make some headway on my waist eventually.  


My favorite part about it is STILL that I get to have a boatload of fun at dinner.  Last night we had Tom Yum Koong Soup with Mahi Mahi.
 My adjustment for February was to fast during the 5 day work week, and do whatever I normally do during the weekend, which involves more grazing.  

Pros:

1. The best thing is I am still excited about dinners.  I love that I can be less careful preparing and eating dinner.

Neither Pro nor Con
I am still indulging in the "brake" fast.  But this month I am going to cut back on the morning "brake" fast.


Cons:

1. It is still a little awkward not to eat when I eat lunch with one other person.  For example, Monday I had lunch w/my team.  I hate it when I do cause I am not good at monitoring myself at night, but it's okay.

2. In the words of my husband every morning, who also started Fast 5 on January 1st, "I'm not ripped yet." Gonna take a while.

Measurements

1. Am I losing any weight?  yes, slowly
2. Are the rolls diminishing?  (I am not going for the stomach my 14 year daughter old has, but less of that nonsense would be good) a little
3. Can I sustain this?  Time will tell; so far so good
4. Does it suck the joy out of my life? No!
5. Does it bring any joy to my life?  Kind of.  One of my favorite things is making dinner, and it makes making dinner more fun!
6. Is it working for my family? I think so.  I think they enjoy the dinners I am making, and other than that should not affect them.
7. How do my my clothes fit?  Mostly the same.
