Intermittent Fasting: Day 8

1/8/2018

To start…I forgot to weigh. I honestly forgot, it was a busy day and I'll get it done tomorrow. I don't have a scale at home, because it isn't a healthy thing for me. I don't want to make my health all about my weight—good or bad, because it is so much more than that. I don't have a target weight or a certain number I want to lose. I have more of a range I want to be in and maintain. I will update tomorrow with any news of how the first 8 days have affected, if at all, my weight.

Today was a good first day back to work, work-wise and healthy living wise.

Breakfast: Oatmeal and coffee, while uploading grades and writing lesson plans.

Lunch: I went to Orlando's Italian Restaurant with co-workers and resisted ordering what I really wanted-green chile chicken fettuccine. Instead, I had a salad (with their amazing blue cheese dressing) and a half Italian sub. It was very good and satisfying. I drank a huge ice water with lemon.

Dinner: Salmon and garlic roasted green beans.

Snack: Kind bar

I was well under calories and feel the need to eat more with tomorrow being a fasting day. However, I'm going to ignore the 'obligation' to eat or the 'fear' of not having enough to make it through tomorrow. I'm choosing to listen to my body, which although tired, is physically satisfied with food. I am certain, barring my kids waking me up, I will have no problem sleeping soundly tonight.
