Second Fast Day

Happy friday everyone! Yesterday was my second fasting day and I missed posting, sorry. Among other things I got to chat on the phone with a very good friend who lives very far away, and then had a romantic evening with my husband which included him drawing me a bubble bath! He is just the best, :).

So now for some data and other information! My fast started at about 7pm wednesday evening (after dinner again). It would have been earlier but my husband and I had a serious case of indecision regarding dinner that night. I hate when that happens! We finally settled on some salads from the diner across the street after almost a whole hour of "What do you want?"... "I dunno, what do YOU want....?". Terrible, heh.

Wednesday night was actually a really fun evening for me too, so I am going to digress for a moment. I went and tried out swing dancing! There was an even a few towns over, that included a lesson before hand on lindy hop. So I gathered all my gumption (despite my brain deciding to remind me how shy I can be!) and drove down to try it out. I had a lot of fun, and man was it way more of a workout than I had expected!! Apparently lindy hop is one of the more difficult dances to learn off the bat, which I did not know. But I got through the lesson (and only ran into one person... :/ ) and then a few people were kind enough to show me how to jitterbug during the open dance portion of the evening. Jitterbug was so, SO much easier! Haha.

Thursday morning was less than awesome. I can't BELIEVE how sore I was! Haha. Like I said, unexpected work out! Yesterday mornings weigh in was 229, another lb down! I think my husband is starting to suspect foul play. Especially since today, the day AFTER my second fast... I weighed in at 227.5!

To dispel common concerns that may crop up:
           ~  I have not had any instances of dizziness or fatigue during this week. In fact remember that
             during my second fast day I went swing dancing! I didn't feel weak or anything. (A bit out of
             shape... *stares at the yoga mat I will be using once this blog post is done* ;)
          ~  I haven't had much of a mood change, in fact most day's (even the fasting ones) I have been
              generally happy and in a good mood!

I also try my best to "spend my calories" wisely on my fast days. LOTS of veggies is key, they are low cal and high in fiber and nutrients so they fill me quickly and easily! While I try not to dwell on it on my non fasting days I do at least try to get plenty of veggies in then too, while still letting myself enjoy pizza, or ice cream.

So here are the final stats for this fasting week:

Height: 5'7
Weight: 227.5
Waist: 37.25
Hips: 50
Thigh:27.5

No change in hips and thighs as of yet... but it's only the first week! I am almost looking forward to my next fast day with these kinds of results so I will have another post ready then! Until monday folks!
