30 Hours Done

Wow, i must admit is was hard but not that hard. i did my fast from 2pm Monday afternoon when i finished my salad and chilled water until last night about 8pm (ok so it was just shy of 30 hours but the point is i missed three full meals and i think that is what counts).

Skipping dinner is the thing that i believe gives great weight loss but i also feel that it's the hardest thing as you have to sleep on an empty stomach. But once you get up then you can just forget about the fast and get on with the day. It was later in the afternoon when i started thinking about dinner that hurt, then i got stuck in traffic on the way home so all i was thinking about was that i should be eating.

Wife had made her chicken, plus she's thrown in some pork ribs so there was some good food to be had. it's quite lean provided you don't eat the juices (my son loves that so i leave it for him). But the big mistake was that she'd not bothered to make the salad. Being that hungry i wasn't going to cut things up for a salad i just went straight for the chicken etc. I ate way too much, could not stop, i knew that i should stop but just couldn't and this is BAD. For Fridays planned dinner i will make the salad myself the day before to avoid this issue.

so what's the result? today i weighed in at 96.8kgs that is fantastic - a full 14kg below my start weight. Now i know that this is partly due to no food in the system, water loss etc and will come back up while eating but i do have three more days including another 30 hour fast before final weigh in. If i can hold this number for the doctor's office then i'll be very happy - if i get below then that would be even better.

The 12 week pics are going to really tell the story. Wait for that one on Saturday!
