Starting first of two 24-hour fasts this week. Finished lunch at 1:15 yesterday, and will wait to have lunch/dinner at 1:15 today. I almost CAVED yesterday late afternoon, because I had to take my MIL to the grocery store and they had these HUGE navel oranges at Walmart. I bought 5 and wanted one SOOO badly when I got home. Thankfully, my accountability friend just "happened" to text me (I usually initiate texts between us), and she was able to talk me off the ledge. I reminded myself: "Delay, Don't Deny." So, I CAN have that delicious, ripe, juicy, fragrant orange at 1:15 today. I'm not deprived in any way. All I have to do is wait for the appropriate time.
Weight up by a pound this morning, which surprises me, because I thought I was done with the post-fast weight-gain. I kinda thought I would keep MORE off, since I stayed off the Diet Coke (now 18 days clean); but, it is what it is, and I'll take it.
Without all the snacking, it has been hard to get my Calorie count UP high enough to the set point where I want it to be. Still gotta work on that, I guess. I think NO SNACKING is the way to go, though, so my body isn't constantly squirting out insulin and burning glucose, and has a chance to burn some of my "on-board stored fuel" (i.e. FAT).
"Only" 7-1/2 more hours til I get that orange! Gotta get some stew going for dinner. Will have grandkids, and am picking up McDonalds for them and my husband at 11. That's a temptation I can easily withstand - though not eating french fries out of the bag on the way home, is something I need to remind myself!
Hope everyone has a lovely Wednesday. Praying that the egg-coloring we're going to do today won't result in a giant mess and dyed hands all around!
