I completed Day 3 of the fat fast with only a couple of small bumps. I stole a couple of french fries from my kids when I let them have lunch at McDonald's yesterday. We were out for a few hours, and I had to let them eat. Unfortunately that was the closest place, since we were at Wal-Mart waiting to get our Christmas photos taken. And then last night, shortly before bed, those darn mini cupcakes called my name again. And well, I don't want them to go to waste. So I ate one. This morning I weighed myself, and I've lost another pound. I am now at 117.4lbs. The last time I weighed this was before my first child was born, almost 9 years ago. I don't want to go back to the horrible eating I've been doing, but I know I can't stick to this diet forever. So I'm thinking I'm going to modify some things, and/or maybe do the fat fast every second day, just to keep my body in ketosis. I'd also like to start incorporating exercise this week, so today we're going to walk to church, even though it's pretty chilly out.
I want to continue to lose 1-2lbs a week, so I'm going to try not to beat myself up if I don't see a loss every single day. It's great that I got to where I am. I never thought I would lose 8lbs in 3 days, but I did, so I know I have to be prepared to not lose much over the next couple of days, especially with increasing my calorie intake.
I'm going to also try to remember not to overdo it at the gym, or during exercising. I will even limit myself to 30 minutes a day to start, because I don't want to go too crazy and then get frustrated when I don't lose. I don't want to burn myself out. I will figure out a way to lose these excess 65+ lbs.
