Day 3 of fasting COMPLETED

Okay, folks!! I DID IT!! I have officially finished my 3 day fast. Now, I would LOVE to continue to finish a seven day, but it's hard to function with my body lacking carbs right now. So I've done a bit more researching, and decided to do what is called "Intermittent fasting". Basically, I'm going to try a schedule of 1 day eating, 1 day fasting. The days I eat will follow the Atkin's diet rules, so I'll stay in this low carb, fat burning mode even on the days I eat. I'm going to pick up the Ketosis test strips to see if i'm in that stage yet (ketosis: when your body doesn't have enough glucogen in reserves to keep up energy, and turns to your fat reserves for its nutrition.)

But, here's a picture of the scale this morning!

When I first woke up, it read 200.8 but when I went back in 15 minutes later it said 201 LOL. So I could only get a picture of the 201! But hell, I'll take it!

Today's schedule? Pick up the ketosis test strips; if I'm not in ketosis yet, I will fast another day longer and then pursue the atkins diet. Get ready to go to my daughter's Angelman Walkathon with Tonya :) Burn some more calories tomorrow doing the walk!

My diet started May 3rd. I'm not exactly sure WHAT my true weight was when I started this! I'm going to say 215'ish. This puts my weight loss total since the start of my diet to:
14-15 POUNDS! In 16-17 days!

Almost turns out to be a pound a day, and if I'm really off again, it probably IS a pound a day!

MOTIVATION! Now onto my intermittent fasting schedule!
