Fasting Today...

So I'm fasting today. Grumble grumble. I hate fasting.

Years ago I fasted every Monday and Thursday, and the weight really came off, so I'm probably going to start doing the same again and this time stay with it until I hit my target weight. For today I just want to check my fasting blood sugar count, but I'll probably start up the weekly thing again starting Thursday of next week.

The good news is that I've already lost three pounds this week. I'm not too congratulatory because the first pounds are the easiest, but at least I'm going in the right direction.

You all have fun with those chocolate eclairs and sausages now, y'hear? ;)

I'm curious as to why you are fasting? That's generally a quick-fix kind of approach to dieting, and not the best for long-term success and health. Here's an article covering the various aspects of fasting:

I fasted for 24 hours because I had overdone it the day before by more than 1000 calories (still getting my footing on things).

I used to regularly fast every Monday and Thursday and it worked very well for me, but I think I'm going to use SlimFast and see how that works. Had my first one today and it does seem to curb my appetite. My pal cellulose gum! Dieting from the fuzzy stuff that sticks to cotton seeds!
