The end of day seventeen and the start of day eighteen… | |
Morning weight: 347lbs. | |
The scale is bouncing between 347 and 345, so I am being conservative (again). I am now down “26/33”. As in, 26lbs down from my fasting start weight: 373lbs, and 33lbs down from my highest weight ever (two days before I started the fast): 380lbs. Today’s loss is a 2lb loss, down from 349lbs yesterday. | |
I had a rough night for some reason. We went to bed early – just after 11pm and I woke up at 3am and couldn’t go back to sleep. I laid in bed until 3:45am, and then just went ahead and got up. …And stayed up. The problem then is I was sleepy (and nodding off) for the whole rest of the day. Because I was tired (sleepy) today, I didn’t make my new batch of veggie juice / blend. Instead, I made up a batch of ginger / mint / apple juice “tea”. I’ll make up the juice / blend tomorrow. | |
Just out of curiosity I tried on some of my “smaller” pants. For about the last three years up to and including my retirement, I wore size 50inch waist in my pants. Today, I am able to fit into size 48inch waist. They would not be super comfortable, but I can button them easily and sit without them pinching / binding too much. So, more progress!! | |
My son (James) came over to visit today. It was his day off. He stayed for about 4 hours, so we had a chance to have a nice long chat (even though I felt rude yawning all the time). I really enjoy the visits from the kids. | |
