My weight is up this week mainly because its my time of the month, but because I don't want a gain tomorrow, which is my weigh in day I'm fasting today. Last weeks fast went so well that I decided to repeat it again this week. I will be posting throughout the day and letting you know how its going but so far I'm not even hungry. I also plan on doing another 3 mile walk later today so that should help to get some of this weight off to. I'm hoping to at least maintain this week and not have another gain. Next week I start back to school and the kids go back to school so I can get back to normal with my exercise. I also plan on hitting the YMCA at least 3 times a week after I start back to school. My weight this morning was 214 lbs which is 2.2 lbs more than I weighed last Friday so I'm just crossing my fingers that I can drop that much by in the morning.
6:50PM- I've been so busy today I forgot all about updating my blog to let you know how the fast was going. I haven't eaten anything all day long and I'm not even hungry. Whats so weird is that I find it easier not to eat at all then to eat healthy. I haven't even wanted to eat today. I've dropped about 2 lbs since this morning so I'm hoping to at least maintain this week.
From as far back as I can remember I have been overweight and have attempted one diet after another to try to become that skinny girl I always dreamed of being. I'm starting this blog in hopes of using this as my motivational tool to finally change my lifestyle and get healthy. Feel free to cheer me on, give me advice or criticize me if need be. I'm way tougher on myself than anyone else can be on me.

Fasting
I decided to fast today because for some reason my weight just shot up over the last few days. When I weighed in last night I was up 6 lbs, thats insane. I haven't been eating that much but it could be that my time of the month is almost here. Whatever reason there is for this gain I'm going to do everything I can to try to see even a small loss on the scale tomorrow. I thought I would use this post to post throughout the day on how my fast is going. So far this morning all I have had is a glass of orange juice which I drank because I'm kind of sick right now and I was hoping the Vitamin C might help alittle. I plan on drinking as much water as humanly possible today in the hopes of flushing my system out. I did weigh in this morning when I got up and I was already down 3 lbs from my 6 lb gain last night so I'm halfway to being back at my weigh in weight last Friday. I also plan on doing a good walk today, I would love to walk at least 5 miles but I will have to see how that goes, its hard finding free time without my kids to get in a walk like that. I know that fasting isn't a healthy thing to do all the time but I don't believe its going to kill me to go 24 hours without eating every once in awhile and by posting about it on here I have a sense of accountability to do it.
12:00PM- so far I'm doing really good, only thing I've had is 8 oz Orange Juice, 8 oz chocolate milk and 16.9 oz water, only 19 hours and I can eat again....lol
4:45PM- still haven't eatin anything yet and I'm feeling fine....been asleep for the last 4 hours but at least that kept me from eating, only 12 hours until I can eat again
So far this fast has been really easy, I'm not even hungry and I had to cook breakfast for my kids which consisted of livermush, eggs and biscuits and lunch which was chili with sour cream and cheese and garlic cheddar biscuits, so if that didn't tempt me to eat nothing will. I did miss walking though, I took a nap and ended up sleeping through my walking time so I guess the fast will have to do. Even if I have still gained in the morning it won't be as bad as it could be and this will be a great way to start off a new week and show myself that I'm not going to die without food.
8:00 PM- I still haven't eaten anything yet and I'm really starting to get hungry but its not long until bedtime so I will just sleep through the hunger. I weighed just alittle while ago and I'm only up 1.6 lbs. I don't know how much of that will come off before morning but if I can just maintain my weigh in weight from last week I will be happy.
7:00AM- I made it through my fast without eating but I weighed this morning and I'm still up 1 lb but at least I have an excuse, I woke up to Aunt Flo visiting this morning so I'm blaming it on her. I hate that I gained weight this week but I guess it was only a matter of time until it was going to happen.
