Fasting and Furious

Thursday. It’s fast becoming one of my least favourite days of the week. Keyword being ’fast’. I’ve been doing the 5:2 diet since spring, with Oli joining me about a month ago. I have to admit I’ve cheated a number of times. I think the low point was when I was trying to open a packet of peanuts in the kitchen without Oli hearing. And to think that prior to this diet we had no secrets…

For the uninitiated; 5:2 is the diet where you eat normally, except on two non-consequtive days in the week when you limit yourself to 500 calories. Even with my constant cheating this is the only diet that has actually worked for me. It’s easy to do, well at least 5 days out of 7. My fasting days are Tuesday and Thursday. Normally as long as I’m busy at work, I can make it to dinner time no problem at all, and then have 500 calories worth of vegetables on one go. But today…. Today I’m so hungry I could eat the packet of Beroccas on my desk. It doesn’t help that it’s a particularly boring and quiet day at work.

Viikonlopusta….

Oli is currently at his very first NME Awards. No nominations for them yet (so no ticket for me either, pah 🙁 ) but they are using their song as background music for when people go accept their awards. That’s a lot of exposure. He’s making me jealous with all these texts about famous people he’s meeting….

Anyway, I’m having an even more exciting night of doing laundry and updating the blog. If I feel adventurous I might even wash the litter box. When’s the last time Debbie Harry did that?! (I would hope she has staff for that stuff now….)

Here’s a couple of pictures from the weekend. Oli supported a band called Palma Violets on tour last autumn and we were down south to celebrate one Palma’s birthday. A lovely bunch. After pub went to their house/art collective/studio.

And Sam modelling my bird hats. Uncooked and done 🙂 I got these hats from a Danish pound store called Tiger. Best shop ever!
