Success!
Day 3 - 171.3
So it looks like I have lost weight fasting even though I had our Valentine's celebration dinner last night. We went to The Melting Pot, where I had quiet a bit of cheese and chocolate amongst other things. Today is my third day, it is one minute to my 5 pm window. :) Three days in a row of keeping my commitment to fast till 5 pm. I was just a few minutes early at the restaurant yesterday, but I'm still counting it. Yesterday we also went to Costco, hubby and I. He ate all the snacks they offered, it was fairly easy for me to ignore. Today though has been tougher, little depressed again today. I'm at home and keep wanting to go dig through the fridge. I think I am struggling emotionally "more" than physical hunger. It is 5:07 now and I have made it! Again today I am proud of myself atleast for this.
I made myself take the dog for a walk also today, so that was good too. Not a huge walk on my bum knee, but got some fresh air.:) From Philippians the word "instead" seems to stand out. I need and attitude adjustment.

Day 1 - 173.6 lbs
This is just a log for accountability and to learn to know myself when it comes to why I do the things I do. Dr. Bert from http://www.fast-5.com/ suggested in his book to keep a Fast 5 Blog.
First day to fast till my 5pm window. I actually made it to 6pm. It wasn't to hard once I made up my mind I was doing this. I had couple moments while running about town where the fast foods look tempting, but nothing to over the top. About 4pm I looked up from my computer and I think that is when I felt true hunger. I am proud of myself.
I have learned from a past try at this that I should eat something small atleast a half hour before I eat my meal. Otherwise I gorge food down at meal time. I had a palm full of sunflower seeds and a BIG swig of apple cider vinegar. Sat down to my kale,sausage, mushroom, bean soup 20 minutes later and I ACTUALLY LEFT SOME IN THE BOTTOM OF MY BOWL! (for later if I want to finish it.) If you knew me, you would know I could put down three of those bowls. But I felt stuffed and almost wanted to throw up. I think it was the ACV, I think it just kinda hit me different. I am going to try use this trick again tomorrow. My plan is to have beet/vegy smoothie (soon to be a nightly ritual) later and maybe a glass wine.
Tomarrow my hubby is home with me, I WILL FAST UNTIL MY 5PM WINDOW NO EXCUSES!
I think my first goal is not a weight goal, but a short term commitment goal. I think I will commit to 10 days of fasting till 5pm no excuses! Of course this is a life style choice, but for now so it's more focused a 10 day goal sounds good.
