Day 6 – 177.4 lbs – Fasting

I didn’t expect to drop any weight in numbers since last night I was feeling so bloated from the tortilla chips. And when I feel bloated, I feel heavy. I think the numbers will keep jumping around a little, and that’s ok.

Whenever I weigh myself in the morning or measure, I have to remind myself I am working on my habits as well as my weight. The better I get my habits under control, or change my habits, the more likely I will be able to maintain a consistent and appropriate weight for my age, build, etc.

Today is a fasting day, which I am excited about, because there is no decision on what I am going to eat. It is easier to not eat than decided what to eat…lol. My goal is to make sure I get 80 oz of water with electrolytes, and then more plain water and tea. I am trying to make sure I have less caffeine, especially while fasting, as it makes me quite jittery and I will also get heart palpitations from too much caffeine.

Outcome:

To be honest, there were parts of today that I was pretty hungry. As I write this, my stomach is rumbling. But I am thankful to have made it through another fasting day. I am honestly curious how tomorrow is going to go though…I want to make it through two days in a row fasting, and eventually I would love to do more. People in the Bible times did it, so I think it’s not a bad practice for us to do as well.

But I am trying to just look at it just one day at a time. If I look forward too much I get overwhelmed, so just focused on today. One thing I need to focus on more is my Bible and prayer life. I definitely have not focused enough on my spiritual life. I need to plan it the same as I plan other things in my life.
