Day 8 - Monday - what to do?

Got up all bright and breezy and ready to go.  Then considered I'd done 3 days, perhaps today should be a shred rest day.  Also considering from a 5:2 perspective that I may do a fast day today.  I think fast days will be 500 calorie fast days rather than nothing at all, that might be a bit too far for me - however, for a 24 hour fast, I've already done 11 hours since food, so perhaps it is doable - we'll see.  I've put far too much pressure on myself in the past about what to eat and what not to eat, then just feel even guiltier when I "can't manage it" - I know now that it's not a case of that at all, it should just not be a big deal. It may feel incredibly liberating to do the 24 hours, I'm not sure.  Perhaps I should plan a bit better for doing that, not just do it on a whim, and eat my "evening" meal the previous day a little bit earlier, say 4.30pm, then I can get home from work and tuck straight in!

And, I've just noticed, I'm typing this with amazing posture! Small things, but that's a good one, my back and core are getting stronger :)

Day 7 already...

Seems I've had a lot of page views today.  I've no idea who my audience is, guess that's the mystery of blogging!  Anyhow, having looked at todays very long and rambling post, it was a bit of a random waffle that went on far too long really!

So, given I don't know who's reading this, and what you may or may not take from it, I pressed delete. Something has changed today, and somehow putting down how I feel about things and then not knowing who is reading it just doesn't sit very comfortably any more.  Think I'll stick to more fact based stuff for the time being :)

Today was day 7 of the shred, I've had my rest day on day 4, so I've done level 1 6 times.  I feel one heck of a difference in my strength and stamina already, which has surprised me a great deal.  I've made some excellent choices for my future today too, and are feeling happy and confident I'm doing the right things.

That's it, enough said.  Back soon :)
