Today's starting weight: 134.4
This fasting go-a-round, I have a different doctor...and I love her! Great energy: warm, grounded, sweet, and fun. Our first introduction was me inadvertently starling her as she was leaving the bathroom just as I was trying to go in. There's nothing more to that story...I just thought it was funny...and a comical way to meet someone for the first time (instead of walking into their office, shaking hands, having a seat, etc...)
Since I HAVE to leave no later than the 16th, we're making the most of it, and letting me do a 9 day fast, with a 4 day re-feed. Of course...I'm realizing now that I had said I was leaving on the 15th...so I wonder if I could do 10 day instead....hmmmmmmm..... That can always be worked out later. I'll be getting some labs done on Sunday (day 5), so then we'll re-assess how I'm doing and go from there.
When I woke up this morning, I didn't have breakfast in the hopes that I could start the fast today..and sure enough, I was right. So today has been day one!....Around 1:00pm I started feeling hunger pangs...and now I'm really feeling it. OI! But at the same time, it's nice to feel hungry...since the past weeks have consisted of me not feeling hungry. It feels normal. :-) Besides the pangs, it's been "so far, so good." Though currently as I write I can feel a tinge of a headache. :-P
Also...I forgot how the day slows WAY down when I'm not consumed with thinking about food, making food, and eating food. Wow does that take up a lot of brain power.... This day has been forever. And it's only 4:15pm....
