I have heard about the fasting and I know a teacher at my school who does it, but I just know my willpower is not that great :) My food intake is not a huge issue for me, I eat pretty healthy and have good portion sizes. Having a son who is ADHD ensures that we eat mostly whole foods anyway. Thanks for taking the time and sharing with me.Classroom Ponderingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10945057688474138280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1702162997358851975.post-43936769482615585372014-07-08T09:40:07.779+10:002014-07-08T09:40:07.779+10:00Haha Lauren, yes I have tried to justify wine as f...Haha Lauren, yes I have tried to justify wine as fruit as well!

I love reading about how other people ...Hey Tania,<br /><br />I love reading about how other people get motivated with living a healthier life...<br /><br />I must admit, I hate exercise with a passion....I think I'm allegic. I think this goes back to when I was a kid and trained almost everyday as I was a state walker (yep that funny walk ;-).<br /><br />Anyway I digress. I've actually lost 23kg in the last 12 months and thought you might be interested to hear how. I'm not a big believer in dieting as my experience has been that I always put the weight back on. But my Mum started doing the 5/2 diet.<br /><br />Basically this means that you fast for 2 days per week and eat normal for 5 days. So on a fasting day you can eat/drink what you like, as long as you consume less than 500 calories. You can split the days you do, but I did 2 days in a row. So that's what I've done to lose all my weight. Zero exercise.<br /><br />I've gone from being obese to normal. And they say that when you're at your target weight you can fast for just 1 day per week to help maintain weight. But I haven't been fasting for a few months now and haven't put on any weight. What I've found is that my meal size is so much smaller now. <br /><br />Anway that's my 2 cents worth...but well done. Oh and I have started exercising, I thought I'd start with walking one day a week. That's a big step for me ;-)<br /><br />MelTop Notch Teachinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15051217402841187980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1702162997358851975.post-6050631282667249252014-07-07T20:50:53.002+10:002014-07-07T20:50:53.002+10:00They sound like three great changes!

I decided I needed to avoid it during the week, which makes a long bath with a glass of white so much more relaxing on a Friday evening! <br /><br />Lauren :)<br /><a href="http://lovelaughterandlearninginprep.blogspot.com.au" rel="nofollow">Love, Laughter and Learning in Prep!</a>Love, Laughter and Learning in Prep!https://www.blogger.com/profile/15104489985587575405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1702162997358851975.post-13365117925764965032014-07-07T14:04:32.225+10:002014-07-07T14:04:32.225+10:00Thanks Mel!
