FASTING EXPERIENCE - DAY 7

I have made it to the end of my weeklong fast. Today there was a lot of temptation to quit early. 

In a sense, I did quit a little early. I had intended to wait until tomorrow morning to eat, but technically, my week ended this evening. So, considering that Melissa had driven separately to the funeral home about 90 minutes behind me, it seemed silly to have her drive the hour back home before eating dinner, so we had an impromptu date night. It was already 7:00 pm. 

We stopped together at a local Mexican restaurant.

That might have been a mistake. I managed to stick to her sugar fast - no chips, cheese or tortillas - but I overate like I typically do at a Mexican restaurant. (Or perhaps my stomach shrank a bit temporarily!) 

Anyway, I am home now and feeling crazy sleepy, so I will keep this short.

I weighed in at 192.2 this morning after starting at 206 pre-fast. I will be curious what the scale says tomorrow after that meal tonight and how far I bounce back up over the next few days. 

I am glad Melissa is running this sugar fast because after tonight it seems pretty clear that I would be likely to just fall back into old habits immediately otherwise. 

Looking forward to tomorrow!
