finished 3rd fast day.

SW 3/1/13 =274.8
CW=267.4 down 3 since yesterday and equal to last week's low
Calories = 498
Net Carbs = 21g/17%
Fat= 31g/57%
Protein= 31g/25%
Sleep = 6:59 87% sinuses kept waking me up
Steps= 3657 only had fitbit on for part of the day.

So yesterday was remarkably easy. It was my first "fast" day this week. I get about 100 calories in the morning from the Cod Liver Oil and the half and half in my coffee and tea, then use the rest of my calories when I get home from work. I did a great job of not nibbling while I was cooking, and did not go back and look for anything after dinner...I did think about it though. But I was not hungry, I just wanted something.

My weight dropped 3 pounds. I am shocked as it regularly goes up and down a pound or so a day but I have not had a down shift that big in a very long time. Yesterday when I saw the number on the scale I was a tad bit disheartened because I saw I was gaining a pound a day on my up days over the weekend and last week I only lost a pound a day on my down days (I stayed the same on the moderate days). Which would mean that I would end up with a net gain every week since I have more up days than down days. I was happily shocked to see a 3 pound loss this morning, knowing that it took me back to last week's low and I still have another down day this week.

Today will be a moderate day. I will keep up with my "work day" schedule as far as food is concerned but have a fattier dinner.

I really like the flexibility of having 2 down days that I can move around as needed.
