first fast day!

As of yesterday, I've started to follow the 5:2 way of eating.  I don't see it as a diet as such, as it's something I'd like to keep up with.  (& will also eventually allow me to have wine/calorific food of a weekend).  I'm still not quite sure how it's all going to fit around my training, it may be that I have to up my non-fast-day cals to 2000, rather than the 1500 they're currently on.  But we'll see!  All very exciting & 19 weeks total to train for Tough Mudder!  <hyperventilates>

I have my gym induction on Thursday evening, so hopefully I'll have a clearer picture by then of what I need to do.  I'm very conscious of not going into it too hard, too soon & injuring myself as I did last time I started running!

(I was going to write a post on the gear I'd like to get, but that will be for a future post now).  So yes, today is a 500cal day - even doing the Cambridge diet I never went quite that low for a day....so I am a wee bit apprehensive!
