Had a lovely day yesterday! Super enjoyed my facial and seeing all the ladies at my dermatologist’s office. I live about an hour away now from my old world/life. The last time they saw me was in October, about a week before I started my first challenge with this group (i had done almost a year of water fasting/IF/OMAD leading up to the fast forward to health October challenge). I got so many compliments!!! They couldn’t get over “how much weight” I must have lost. Hahaha! If they only knew that it is has barely been ten pounds that I seem to keep regaining (almost) after each fast lol. However, my inches do not come back. I utterly marv at the fact that I can weigh what I weigh, but look how I look and wear the sizes that I am wearing! So yesterday was just awesome, total moral and mental boost hearing all the lovely comments. I did have another meal. While I was in Chico for my appointment, my hunny had a work order in the same area. After he works, he likes to reward him with a good meal out and a beer. We went to a restaurant called the Pour House…super great food and atmosphere. Anyway, I had a very keto friendly and nourishing meal. I told him I am fasting through Sunday SO LEAVE ME ALONE!
I forgot to wear myself this morning, so I am unsure of the effects on my weight, but nonetheless, I feel great, and that is what is important to me. I was chuckling to myself yesterday because my guy was flipping out how hungry he was (he literally had gone maybe 3-4 hours since the last meal) and I was like… WHOA it’s been 28 hours since I ate last. Even though I had a crutch meal on Wednesday too, I was shocked how 24 hours blew past and I didn’t even feel it. So I know that if the world keeps going in the direction it is, it may not be food shortages, but food access that may be affected, I know I can go days without eating and I will mentally be okay.
I did want to share this: I actually was able to go across the monkey bars!!! I took my youngest forma walk to a newly discovered park in our neighborhood and my hunny encouraged me to try the monkey bars. I at first told him heck no, because I was NEVER able to do it, even as a kid. Anyway, thankfully he pushed me to at least give it a try, so I did. And to my utter amazement, I did it! I still am in shock. Having a lower body weight coupled with the simple daily exercising I have been doing is manifesting results!
Today I have nothing planned hallefreakinglujah! Well, except just organize my house a bit, you know, do the things that aren’t on the usual house cleaning list. Like organize my room, declutter the garage, etc…
So that wraps up my world for today. Just gonna keep fasting through Sunday. Organize a bit, mix in some push ups, do my walk, and make time this evening for more self love; probably a bath, nice lotion rub down afterwards, and a self pedicure lol (didn’t get that yesterday).
Tomorrow my daughter is having her 14 year old birthday party that her father and his girlfriend are throwing for her. She wants me to come. I said I would. I have a lot of mixed emotions. However, I’m a mother fucking bad ass and I am not going to let a pos weasel like my ex keep me from my daughter’s life. I highly doubt he’ll try anything. However, public crowds has never stopped him in the past. I will have my 6’3" 220 lbs man with me, so I don’t need to feel afraid. I am looking forward to looking and feeling fine af. I purchased a lovely top the other day and I can’t wait to wear it tomorrow! I’ll try and remember to share a picture or two tomorrow
