Results: 1/2 lb less than yesterday!
My energy levels today are alright. Skipping the morning routine of breakfast hasn't sent me off kilter yet. I did accidentally snack on some of the oven fried potatoes I made the children. They were delicious. =P Not sure if the 2 bites of savory carbs first thing in the morning would ruin the effects of fasting?
I lost SOME weight! I don't care if this is simply water weight. Any weight will give me motivation to keep going. My ultimate goal is to break free of the hold that food has on me. I want to develop healthy habits, and make my body my slave. There are so many times when I give into my physical WANTS. I need to be able to say "no" to my body sometimes.
3 hours into work, no trouble concentrating. No sign of nervous energy. No sign of hunger either. Although... I am drinking my coffee with some cream and sugar. Does this still count as fasting?
12 PM. I'm getting jittery. I'm also getting hungry. I tried going on a walk to get the blood flowing and get my mind off of my physical discomfort. As I walked, I noticed that my palms were a little bit sweaty. But at the same time, my hands feel cold.
1PM, I can't take it anymore, can't concentrate on my project, I drink the bowl of oxtail soup I brought from home. I'm not hungry as much as I just can't concentrate. Instantly the jittery, shaky feeling subsides. Wonder if the caffeine on an empty stomach is causing the shakes? I will definitely have to try no caffeine tomorrow.
4PM, my hands feel shaky again. Maybe it's the stress of this project that's getting to me? I really do feel quite a bit of nervous energy. I want to do a few burpees... but I'm sure that will elicit odd looks from my coworkers. ^_~
6PM, DINNER TIME! Rice, chinese meatloaf, zukes + mushroom, and more oxtail soup. I'm sluggish, and I'm worried that my patience level might be a little bit low. Thankfully the children are not difficult today. We walk to a friends house to play, then go home and shower and sleep. Before bed I finished the rice that the children didn't finish. Part of me just can't stomach the idea of wasting food. On the other hand, treating myself as a trash can for leftover food shows very little self respect.
What did I do wrong today? I probably shouldn't have eaten the children's rice right before bed. Tomorrow I will dish the kids less rice so there will be nothing leftover.
