Well the longer fasts did the trick this week. Last Friday I weighed 180 and this morning I’m at 178! I did notice a trend though. I dropped to 178 during my 48-hour fast from Friday night to Sunday night, then went back up to 180 Monday morning. That’s because I went to a Halloween party Sunday night, and I don’t regret one tiny bit. I ate food I don’t normally eat and enjoyed it while socializing with old friends and new. It was fun, and I’m glad I went and glad I ate what I ate. But it took me five days to get back down to 178. I am down two pounds for the week, which isn’t at all bad. But since bad habits and lots of rule-breaking had me stuck in the 180s for nearly two months, I’d like to have a couple of weeks of over three pounds lost. So I’m going to change things up again this week a little. I ate this morning and won’t eat now until Sunday morning (48 hours). Then I’ll do a 36-hour fast and not eat until lunch time Monday. Then I’ll do another 48-hour fast and not eat until lunch time Wednesday. Another 36 hours would put me having dinner Thursday, but I really prefer to skip dinner, so I’ll go instead until breakfast Friday morning (that will be about a 60-hour fast). We’ll see how that goes, I’m hoping for a loss of about four pounds this week.

Friday
Friday night I had chicken salad that I made just with some salt, mayonnaise, and capers along with a salad of romaine lettuce, diced tomatoes, and Primal Kitchen Caesar Dressing.
Saturday

Sunday
I didn’t take pictures of what I ate Sunday night at the Halloween party, but it included chili with shredded cheddar on top, pumpkin muffins, and Lay’s Sea Salt Poppables.

Tuesday
Tuesday I ate lunch. I had three eggs scrambled with diced sun-dried tomatoes in them and four slices of bacon.
Wednesday
Wednesday night three eggs scrambled and four slices of bacon. I also had some romaine lettuce but was out of the Primal Kitchen dressing. I had some Newman’s Own Poppyseed dressing, which I love, but it’s higher in carbs than I like. So instead of having two tablespoons of that (the usual serving size), I mixed one tablespoon of it with a tablespoon of olive oil and tossed the lettuce in that. I liked it and will do it again!
