There's the rest of that 5 pounds I was expecting to put back on in water weight and undigested food. It didn't help that I went to bed at seven and woke up at MIDNIGHT. I laid in bed for almost two hours trying to go to sleep and then just went ahead and went ahead and got up for the day. Usually, during those extra hours of sleep, I would have peed at least once more, and probably twice. Plus, had Cracker Barrel for lunch yesterday (lots of salt content). Put it all together, and there you have it. Not discouraged. Thankfully, with all the reading, I knew what to expect, and wasn't surprised. Still, a 10-pound loss for a 12 day fast. I'm pleased with that!
Easter will be here next Sunday, and I'm making my 2nd favorite dessert in the world: 4-Layer Chocolate Dessert. It is a little over 500 calories a slice (3"x3"), but I'll be fitting it into those days, except during the time I'll be fasting. That will help with the "Feasting" part of "Fast, Feast, Repeat." Should aid in getting my metabolism set-point raised. MOST of the time, I will be having low-calorie or sugar-free desserts WITH my evening meal (in the same 1-hour eating window). Once summer gets here, I'll be enjoying fresh fruits in season. I think strawberries are next, and then CHERRIES! Another mantra from the same book is "Delay, Don't Deny." It is so freeing to know I can have ANYTHING I want - I just have to have it at the right time (i.e., when not fasting).
Hope you all will have a lovely Easter. After church, we're having a big dinner at my MIL's house, followed by a giant Easter hunt for the kids. Fun times and family memories being made.
