So I've been off the fast now for 6 days and I've had a hard time not snacking on what I'm denying myself. Yesterday, for example, Ray wanted to take everyone to Red Lobster. So I looked at the menu ahead of time, and figured out the calories for what I'd be ordering: Chilled Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail and a Garden Salad with Balsamic Vinegrette! I didn't use more than a quarter of the dressing on my salad so I let myself have a roll with it and I only ate 3 out of the 6 shrimp and just one dip of cocktail sauce. Overall I think I did a good job. Then I came home to workout, did about 32 minutes of various things and then drank my shake. Ellie wanted to go walking again so we did another 3.5 miles up to blackhawk and back! We plan on doing that walk any maybe farther everyday since she plans on starting the fast soon too.
I've been weighing myself daily because I use the wii and I enjoy getting up in the morning and seeing what my hardwork is doing. For the last two days (since I allowed myself to eat Indian Eggplant with Rotapratas) I've been staying at 147.9. I was down to 146.5 on the last day of the fast so I'm a little disappointed that I've crept up a pound and a half. I've been holding off eating lunch and dinner because yesterday was suppose to be my first day of lunch and dinner but because everyone was so full from lunch I made my dinner to eat for lunch today. I'll be making dinner again tonight. I'm not sure if all this means I should be working out more since I'm starting to eat again or what. I really wish I had someone who knew the specifics so they could just tell me, "yes workout more.", or "no stay where you are, you'll have to level out again."!
