so its a typical Sunday morning and I am on day three of isolation with Covid I decided I have nothing better to do in my loneliness at the moment why not fast I have come across a mad a few times it basically means that you only eat once a day and you're fast for 23 hours and you can do exercise in this time or you can read books go for walks say hello to the dog you name it.
I am currently on day four of OMAD, I did before I found out that I had Covid at work and I don't feel hungry. I feel fine I have set my fasting time till about 1 pm so I have my dinner then and I like to do a three-meal course each time and treat myself so this time I decided I was going to give my hand at baking, never ever been I been good at baking! I've always been really bad at it actually and I thought I might as well give it a go now and see what happens so I decided to grab some cinnamon and some brown sugar along with flour and eggs splash of milk the butter was vegan of course because George is lactose intolerant and that's the only butter we had in the flat mix it all together not even measuring but it came out to become something quite beautiful and tasted very delicious! I find I look forward to my fasting times at 12 it's easy to be distracted when I have a PC a laptop an iPad an Apple Watch and iPhone amongst many games so when it comes to baking I make sure that I'm completely switched off, in fact, it's nice to be unplugged from the world just for a moment.
It's weird to think I haven't actually spoken to another person in person in about three days and how okay I am with this I have two flatmates and I have not seen one of them since which I guess is a good thing because I wouldn't want them to have Covid either.
This is the second time that I've caught the virus the first time I feel like I could barely see I was barely able to stand and had cold sweats while looking after my ex-partner at the time who was being a massive baby over it and while I serve him hand and foot while also being sick it was up to me to make sure we were both got better another reason why we didn't last very long I guess.
But this time around is a little different I did a weekly shop on my way home as I normally do found out that I had Covid and it's not been as bad I've had a cough and a tight chest I've had a headache and a runny nose but I still have my smell and taste! which I lost my smell last time and the only way to prove that I had lost it was to go to Lush and stiff everything around me I don't think that the staff was too impressed.
I think I baked this cake for about 40 minutes on 180 and see, as I'm not a baking person I'm very impressed with how it came out it might just be the tastiest cake I've ever made using spontaneous ingredients that I've done to date, of course, I didn't just break my fast with the cake as lovely as that does sound I also oven-baked a whole chicken which I ate half of the rosemary parsley salt and garlic and cooked it for about an hour and a half along with three humongous parsnips and for a Sunday I think I did quite well.
It's weird to think that I'm on day three and I still have a couple of days left it feels like I'm in a zombie apocalypse movie where I'm completely by myself and I'm using the resources that I had to survive I haven't seen in contact with another human or animal and you bet I have been looking at kittens for sale or puppies for the last three days straight as a biggest past time for me.
So this is everything that I consumed on day four of my OMAD adventure I feel like every single time I eat at the moment I feel like I could eat a whole elephant and then I get halfway through to parsnips and I feel like I'm going to explode by guessing that's my body already telling me that it is shrinking due to the 23-hour fasts a time.
I also don't know if this is to do with Covid but I've gone from nine 9st10 to 9st7 in the last three days hey I'm not complaining I've always had a problem with my weight, over the last five years anyway which reminds me an ASOS parcel arrived yesterday in 08 size dresses they were a goal setter for me so I could see how much I could lose but I had to try them on last night I realised every single one of them fit with the slight space I don't think I even realise the body confidence I could give to me knowing that I have lost that weight that I've been dying to lose for years.
But that's enough of me ranting for now bring on day five OMAD.
