I weighed myself this morning. 148. That’s 12 pounds lost. Not bad going. I went to the store and stocked up on some more vegetables and so forth. I’m actually really digging this whole thing, the longer it goes on!
My husband’s new marketing group (Top Dog Marketing) is taking off fast, so he’s been really busy. They do everything from web and logo design, to copywriting, photography, wordpress themes and integration, and manga!! Right now they’re running a special (a free site analysis) so they’ve been swamped (if you’re in need of a spiffy new website, wordpress theme, or a logo you’d better hurry!!) In a way, it’s good because I haven’t been having to make big family dinners for everyone… so I haven’t had that stress.
I’ve had thoughts of bingeing. Just saying “screw this” and eating my way systematically through my kitchen. But, every time I fight that thought off and manage it with a plate of veggies and a big glass of water instead, I feel so much stronger and more in control. I’m starting to plan the end of the fast now, and where I want my diet to go. I definitely think I want to stay vegetarian, perhaps even vegan. I want to eat about 80% vegetables (excluding potatoes and corn, which are actually starches) and 20% rice, beans, lentils, and those pesky starches. I also want to make sure and drink more water–so I’m going to buy a new water bottle for returning to Uni next month. I think I also want to plan “fast” days into my schedule once or twice a month to keep me on track…
I’m not sure though. I guess we’ll see after another 20 days where I am with the whole thing.
I realized that part of this fast is definitely a spiritual and emotional cleansing. I’m learning that some relationships I have are just as toxic as some of the food I’ve been feeding myself. I’m not quite sure how to phase those out of my life, but I’m certainly not going to do anything to strengthen them in any way. It’s time to get rid of everything negative and toxic in my life…
So, on with the day! Hope you all are having a good day, where ever you are–and remeber if you want to spruce up your site, visit Top Dog Marketing Group!! (Shameless plug for hubbies business!!
