Day 64

Date March 12, 2009

Another 3 pounds lost for a total of 36, which works out to be an average of 4 pounds lost every week. While that’s a pound more a week than the average 3 pound weight loss per week the program suggests, my number will even out as I get closer to my… Don’t stop now…keep reading!

Day 53

Date March 1, 2009

One of the reasons why I chose to go on a complete fast rather than on a restrictive diet is because I wanted to completely separate myself from dealing with food for a season so I could figure out how to have a better relationship with food. This… Don’t stop now…keep reading!

Day 37

Date February 12, 2009

Okay, so apparently I’m not keeping this attempt at journaling my season of fasting with any consistency. That’s no reflection on the fast itself as the only eating I’m doing these days is in my sleep. As of the last weigh in a couple days ago I’ve… Don’t stop now…keep reading!

Day Twenty Two

Date January 28, 2009

Another 3.6 pounds lost for a total of 18.6 pounds in three weeks. The first couple weeks the big losses of 8 and 7 pounds weren’t suprising since large numbers are usually expected with such a dramatic change in diet but now I’m heading into a more… Don’t stop now…keep reading!

Day 20

Date January 26, 2009

I’m not sure at this point if I’m jonsin’ for bread or bread is jonsin’ for me but this weekend there was some major food cravings going on. Food in general as in I would have been as satisfied by a bowl of steamed cauliflower with a dash of salt as… Don’t stop now…keep reading!

Day Sixteen

Date January 21, 2009

Yesterday was the end of two weeks and another 7 pounds lost. 15 pounds in two weeks is an awesome loss but at the same time I’m still in old and familiar ground within a weight zone I’ve hovered in for far too long. 10 more pounds and I’ll be in… Don’t stop now…keep reading!

Day Eleven: My Life’s Blood

Date January 17, 2009

If you were to cut me I would not bleed. I would simply leak massive quantities of Sugar Free Torani Syrups. At last count we have about 20 flavors from Lime to Chocolate Macadamia Nut. Yes, it appears I might have gone a wee bit overboard on the… Don’t stop now…keep reading!

Day Ten: Lose 40 Pounds in 48 Hours!

Date January 16, 2009

I’ve never had to turn up the thermostat and put on woolly socks to eat, but then again, I’ve never eaten five shakes a day in the middle of winter before either. Note: If you ever consider fasting, wait until June. Otherwise, the fast is moving… Don’t stop now…keep reading!

Day Eight

Date January 14, 2009

Another day, another hour of strength training with my trainer, another three mile walk around the reservoir , and another five shake supplements. Up until now I’ve been waiting to eat them until I got hungry but that was breaking the shakes into… Don’t stop now…keep reading!

Day Seven: The First Weigh In

Date January 13, 2009

The first week of the fast is over and according to the doctor’s scales I lost 8 pounds.  In terms of how difficult it’s been to not eat for a week, overall it’s been easier than I thought. There have been short periods of time, lasting only… Don’t stop now…keep reading!
