Fasting is going better than I expected. I now it's a total fast, which would be really difficult. I still get up in the morning and eat breakfast, and then I wait until the sun goes down and eat dinner. But I've seen a large reduction in my appetite since Ash Wednesday.
That night I was voracious, eating everything in site and I was starved, but by this weekend I was eating a lot less in the evening.
The toughest part was being at home during the weekend and thinking about all the food I could snack on. That and going grocery shopping when I was hungry. I had to stop myself everytime I started to pick up something and ask myself "Do I really need this, or do I just want this?"
I'm back to exercising too. I'm going to start every other day in the morning and walking over lunch, and I'm hoping by next week to be getting in the exercise every morning.
All told I feel really good for not eating during the day.
Are you doing alright without Mt. Dew?
