A purchaser with too much time on her hands

One step closer for me!

The body is back in fasting mode. It was not as hard as I thought it would be. The hunger was bearable even at night. I did not really calorie count my intake as I had one main meal each of the 2 day fast I did. I am also considering of going to do a 2 day fast instead of the 3 that I am doing now. We see how it goes. It is baby steps one day at a time. Rushing never gets me anywhere and it makes one not take time to digest the information that our body is telling us.

I even survived the making of our lunch for the day after. I did though have to remind myself that was fasting and not to snack! It is something that is easily forgotten when the tummy is hungry and you are making food. So now I am only 700grams away from my first goal weight. It is to get to the ultimate goal weight that is hard and to maintain, though I was running back and forth to the bathroom every few minutes after going to bed due to the large amount of liquid I drink on fasting days. If I had not checked my fasting blood sugar level, my husband would probably say I was diabetic and drag me to the doctors for a check-up.

The journey to where I am now has been much easier then I had imagine myself having to go through. Maybe because there have been the elimination of other factors that previously has caused me to lose my focus. The years of reading up on how the body works and how and what food affect us and different food reactions to my body has helped too. I am more focus on a plant based diet, loading up on vegetables and have a love for tofu and tempeh to which when used means I can eliminate meat in the meal.

I am soon halfway to where I want to be. The next phase would be to incorporate some sort of weight training as I need to build up the mass. I want to be slender and strong and not skinny and flabby. I am also giving myself a year to get my hypertension in check. I have only recently started medication and will have a check-up with my regular GP and we see what he has to say about things.
