Day 7 – 177 lbs – Fasting

As much as I look forward to being back in routine, that alarm clock felt rude this morning! As tired as I was yesterday evening, when I got to bed, I could not fall asleep. I am usually a good sleeper, but I had a million thoughts going through my head. Maybe the tea I had in the evening had caffeine in it, but either way, I believe when we can’t sleep for whatever reason, that is God giving us an opportunity to spend quiet time in prayer.

This morning I had terrible Keto breath, which is the first time in the last week, surprisingly. I also had a sore stomach/abdomen. I am not concerned about it at all, just noting it, so when I look back at my days, I have a good record of how I felt during this whole process.

Today will only be the second day I am working since I started this, and that was the first day….also a fasting day. I don’t find it too hard to fast at work, since I am in an office by myself, and I am not around food. But my office is near the cafeteria, so once they started cooking lunch, the smells definitely do waft in and make me hungry! But I never eat at work anyways, so once I leave the building for my lunch break, I forget about it.

This morning I am also going to a Ladies Bible Study again, which I love. I am really looking forward to it, as we have been on break for 2 weeks during the holidays.

Outcome:

So I didn’t end up going to ladies bible study because work was busy and I wasn’t able to get away. That kind of dampened my mood already, and then I was just hungry and on edge the rest of the day. And I feel achy.

How’s that for some whining. And then I made porkchops for supper that actually were delicious and juicy (or so I was told) and I usually cook them dry. And because it’s a fasting day, I only get to eat warmed up pork chops tomorrow. Lol I am having a total pity party here, but I didn’t expect it to be easy this month. But I am sure going to enjoy some food tomorrow!
