Day 5, 4 & 3 of 110 | The First 48...pounds

Day 3 was the hardest day for me.  It's the day when the mind starts missing those addictive and highly processed foods. On day 2, I completed my 48-hour fast. I only broke my fast after 14 hours of water with lemon or lime.  When I broke my fast I only consumed fresh veggies and a little fruit just before I resumed fasting.  I will not weigh myself again until Monday, August 12.  My first weigh-in was on Thursday, August 8.  All weigh-ins will be recorded with a date-stamped photo and shared at some point during the journey.  Right now I want to strictly focus on preparing for all the changes ahead.

Day 4 was Sunday.  The first Sunday on this journey and I did pretty well!  Not perfect but I was always conscious of the decisions I was making.  I never forgot what I have committed to and made choices with my goals in mind so all in all, I believe I did well this weekend but I don't want to do well.  

I am committed to getting it right so today, Day 5, I am completing an 18-hour, water-only fast.  When the fast is over, if I am not hungry I will not eat.  If I am craving nutrients after the 18-hour fast, I can have a freshly made juice blend of lemon, cucumber, ginger, pineapple, and water as the base.  If I need additional nutrients, I can have nuts, vegetables, or fruit and I will continue this cycle through Day 10.
