Day Type: Non Fasting I weighed myself today: 203 That's still a lot, but... I am SO happy right now. At the beginning of the month, I was 206. Three pounds in 3 weeks isn't huge, but its progress, about 1 pound a week, I have really struggled to get any weight off for months… Continue reading Wednesday, May 24th, 2017
Today was a regular fasting day. I decided on a whim to reduce my coffee intake and seek how I felt and I would have to say it was a SUCCESSFUL experiment! My thermos hold 20oz of liquid. I usually fill it up halfway, so say I drink about 10 oz of coffee a day.… Continue reading Tuesday, May 23rd, 2017
Day Type: Non Fasting Morning: I ate breakfast on Monday at about 7 am, which meant I technically did my 16/8 fasting.

Lunch was another small bowl of cereal (I… Continue reading Thursday, May 18, 2017
2 minute read Today was better. The headache that I had on Tuesday was terrible and hopefully not something to ever be repeated. The transition from being a 'weekday faster' was a lot harder than I anticipated. What I learned from my experience yesterday was that I probably cannot fast every day of the week… Continue reading Wednesday, May 18th, 2017
Today, I had an excruciating headache at about 10 am. I did my regular fasting with just coffee but as the morning went on, my head started pounding. I figured that I didn't eat 'late' enough yesterday so I fasted for a lot longer than 16 hours. It is an adjustment that I definitely will… Continue reading Tuesday, May 16th, 2017
I didn't fast today, though I meant to. I woke up this morning and felt like my stomach was caving in so I decided to eat instead of stick it out...and I'm not disappointed in myself at all. I was able to gage how much I needed to eat to make it through work without… Continue reading Monday, May 15th, 2017
I wasn't tired/lethargic today. I actually felt rather energetic, so I'm excited to share that news 🙂 I wasn't totally focused on when I was going to eat. Though my stomach rumbled around 12 pm, I was able to pretty much ignore it until 1 pm. Lunch was a bowl of cereal. (I was in… Continue reading Friday, May 12th, 2017
