Reached my first milestone!


Yes! Today I finally went below 60 and I'm so motivated right now! The difference between these pics are:

  • -4,3 kg 
  • -7 cm in waist measurement and 
  • a total of -18 cm for all the body measurements put together

But since the knee injury in July, I don't really have much of a choice. I need to of make the most out of the situation regarding my knee (most likely complete rupture of the ALC [anterior cruciate ligament] and possible injured meniscus). Therefore I need to build more leg muscles to be in the best state before an operation.

Another piece of the puzzle is of course the practice of the 5:2 intermittent fasting.

Next time I post on this topic, it'll be when I've reach my goal - see you in 2-3 kg! ;)

5 : 2 - Intermittent Fasting



Ever heard of it? :)

Anyways, I'd see the Eat, fast and live longer documentary when it aired here in Sweden earlier this spring. The main thing that I really got hooked on was the possibility for the brain to learn to make new interconnections between the cells and therefore you may learn your brain to think in new different ways. Even if that is possible or not with intermittent fasting, the other health benefits makes it worthwhile. I mean, who doesn't want a longer life or less risk of cancer or diabetes?

Intermittent fasting isn't a new thing...it has been around for some time...And yes I've tried it before, but only for a short while and just as part of pre-competition diet and regime.

So now I'm actually on my second week of 5:2 and it feels quite easy having the fast days already.  If you have any questions on how I'm doing the fasting, please feel free to ask me any question.
