Things are going well for me. Sticking with my diet. Calorie counting well. Logging all my exercise. Have a pedometer and have been logging all sorts of awesome information with it. (so fun!) I have a very long walk coming up soonish. That 15 or so mile one I did a few weeks back... yep, tis time to visit my best bud again. Gonna be fuuuun, but I admit it's even more intimidating now that I know exactly what the walk is like. Haha. The dangerous roads, the painful hills, the sheer distance... buuuut, the scenery is amazing at times, with a lot of hilly, rural places. I go through some nice lil villages. Yeah, ultimately looking forward to it.

Oh, and I've been fasting. I'm on my 2nd fast today, and I've utterly nailed it. I'm at a lil over 200kcal and it's almost 8pm! (the max is meant ot be 600kcal) I'm hoping to see more weight lost when I weigh myself tomorrow. I'm currently still 183lbs, if I'm seeing the scales right. On none fasting days, I'm sticking with 2000kcal a day, and I've mostly managed to keep at it, but I did go a touch over yesterday... thanks to the glorious wonder that is cheesecake. CHEESECAKE. God, how I love cheesecake. x_x

My maintainence is something like 2700-3000kcal so I don't mind if I go a touch over 2000 once in a while, since it's still a caloric deficit and I am still getting plenty of exercise. I'm eating very well. Salad every day. Keeping up with my protein shakes. I'm now lowering my carbs, aimng for 100-150 carbs a day, and 50-100 on fasting days.

It's weird, because as much as I want and need this... I'm actually finding it all kinda fun.

OH OH OH and I'm no longer overweight, according to the oh-so vague BMI. I'm at 24.8, which is ONLY JUST free from that label "overweight", (25+ being overweight, apparently) even though I still know I'm overweight, it's just that I've gained muscle and that weighs more. ¬_¬ BUT STILL, that's gotta count for something, riiiight? xD I'm happy, because I was "obese", with a BMI of about 30. (used to weigh 224lbs if not more.. I've been remembering it as 220 but actually, 16 stone is 224 so.. oops.)
