Almost three weeks on. It doesn't seem that long. My main struggle is living with my wife who is eating normal. It definitely hurts our meal times together. She's still nursing the baby, so she needs to eat every day. Maybe in a few months she'll be able to get on board with me.
Easter was fun. We cooked lamb. I tried to eat better than I normally would have, but that was still a ton of food. Monday was a fast day. Went really well. It was eight o'clock and I still had 250 calories to burn, and I wasn't hardly even hungry! Maybe that was from the entire bag of salad I had for dinner. :-) I celebrated by making a large bowl of popcorn. It's nice to go to need full.
Scale came up at 342.5 this morning. That's 13 pounds lost so far. My scale only does half pound increments, so it's hard to get precise numbers, but it feels like I'm losing 1.5lbs every fast day. That's an incredible amount to lose in one day. When I divide my fast days by pounds lost, it equals 1.625 lbs per fast day. I know this wont hold up long term, but I'm really liking it for now.
I've got my annual exam scheduled for Thursday, and I'll get to see the results of my blood work. So far so good.
