Yesterday was a fasting day and I included some exercise, part of which was a run in the late afternoon. Subtracting the calories I burned exercising from what I ate gave me about 200 calories. Eating "Miracle Soup" (veggie soup with some beans) along with a salad filled me up to go to bed. I started to feel a little hungry as I dozed off, but it is one of my sacred cows to not eat right before bed, so I assumed I would be okay not eating even though I had about 300 calories remaining to hit 500 calories for the day. I woke up this morning around 4:00 and I was unusually hungry. Hungry enough that going back to sleep wasn't possible even though I tried for 30 minutes. It worked out okay as it gave me time to get a little exercise before we traveled from Virginia to Michigan today.
Today marks completion of 2 weeks on the diet. Don't have any net gain or loss values yet as the rule is weigh after a fast day and Monday will be the first day back home following our fast day tomorrow. It has been a hard and rewarding two weeks that I wouldn't want to trade. I'm praying the results are good for Trina! If not, I'm hoping to understand what we can do differently to succeed.
Today was a feast day and we spent most of it traveling I'm not much of a fan of eating at restaurants along the tollways, so I brought a few thermoses of food (mostly veggie soup) and one of coffee, which worked out pretty well. I made a 32 ounce mug of low-calorie raspberry tea that was great, also. I was hungry when we arrived home and I had a great meal with some pie involved. Oatmeal, bean mix, scoop of apple and pecan pies, and a few other tasty ingredients made this a great end of feast day meal. I'm ready for another great fast day tomorrow.
