So, it's been a while. . .
This blog just gives me some anxiety, so when I get overwhelmed, I put it on the shelf.
Well, I've decided to try alternate day fasting. My weight is not unmanageable right now, but I need the control, so here it is. Um, I read loads about it, and tried it briefly this summer, but I think I'll make it official now. Boy, would I love the health benefits of calorie restriction (and not just the weight loss.)
So, rules are that I have to fast for 24 hours, then a normal eating day for 24 hours. This will probably mean I'll have a small dinner on my fasting days and a normal amount of food on my "off" days. I stopped eating last night at 9PM, so I'm allowed to eat again at 9PM tonight. . .
It's 5:14 AM right now. Heehee, only an hour to go.
Also, sometimes I wish I were Amy Pond. Is that so wrong?
6PM: Haven't actually felt that hungry today. 3 hours left and no hunger pains, which is weird. I got up late, though. About 3 hours ago, and I had some coffee with a splash of milk. (Is that cheating? I guess it's not really a fast if you have milk. . .)
8:47PM: Okay, I caved in and ate a little early. Bad me. I had a small salad to break the fast, with a tablespoon of blue cheese dressing. It was divine. Then I made myself a baked potato with bacon and 2 tablespoons of sour cream and some onions, but I was only able to eat half of it. Oops? Yay leftovers!
