So I wanted to do a new journal as I am starting a new fast today. I am feeling good and confident right now. I also feel like I’m in a good place mentally to start my fast.
I’m at the doctor today so I can get my bloodwork done, and fully track my health progress with my fast. I am very happy with the doc I got, he was very receptive and positive about my fast.
My goal is a 14 day fast and then I intend to see how I feel about possibly extending my fast then… I won’t lie, I’m a little nervous, but I’m also excited for the same reasons I’m nervous. During my fast, is both my birthday and thanksgiving.
I hate thanksgiving food anyway, so no biggie there. I’m also happy about the idea of not gorging myself on food that will make me feel miserable anyway.
The birthday is a little tougher because we have teenagers who will want to celebrate… the good thing is, because we’re traveling on my bday, I think I can downplay it this year, and I’m honestly not big on celebrating my birthday anyway. Except for last year, because we had a goat party!!!
My biggest hurdle is myself and getting out of my own way. I tend to talk myself out of my own goals, so I’m hoping I’ve got a good plan to stay strong. My wedding is coming up and I need to get a dress… been waiting because I don’t want to walk down the aisle the way I am now, and I don’t want regrets When looking back at myself.
I’m hopeful and positive!
