I didn't think I would make it through the first week and here I am 4 weeks later. (Technically, I started on the 8th which would make one month in 3 days....but one shouldn't think of things like that.) This is not my only accomplishment this week. I haven't bitten my nails in a while. At least for a week or two. Maybe this is a sign of my decreased emotional need to put things in my mouth? Or maybe it's just that my fingers don't taste good now that they are shake flavored? Or maybe I'm getting enough fiber already cause it's shedding season and I've already had my fill of cat hair? I have one more accomplishment: I have to buy a new bra and pants. Doesn't sound spectacular until....dum dum dum...you hear that my old bra is too big (as opposed to worn out). And it's too big around not too big in cup size (the better of the two if I can say so). As for my jeans, I can almost pull them down without unbuttoning them, actually I may be able to pull them off without unbuttoning but I haven't tried. So I may have to , gasp, shop this Saturday. I'm thinking of going shorts instead of jeans for the summer. So, I'm doing very well with my fast (even though I might kill someone for a breakfast taco)! I am kinda looking forward to my weigh in tomorrow (kinda sick I know) because I really want to know definitively how I did this week.
Yesterday was hard. I had to work a 16 hour shift, which means you're at work for like 18 hours, plus I knew I would be awake for a bit after I got home. This was the longest day I've had since I've started my fast. I had to space out my meals more than usual which made for a very hungry day. I made it through though. Today I work my first 12 hour shift since I've started my fast, but after yesterday it kinda feels like a nice breeze (or is that from my fake vacation I'm planning to Fiji...did you know it's only $1500 dollars for round trip airfare and 15 nights at a hotel?). I've also had pharmacology and physiology to keep me busy these last two days. (Three tests this week!)
Everyone will probably be happy to know that I am able to move my core again without extreme pain. I knew my core was weak, but I didn't realize how weak. I am also, apparently, not vary flexible. I thought I was fairly flexible. This proves that thoughts don't matter...reality does? I guess what I really wonder: How many classes before the next day immobility goes away? 6? 8? Hopefully not more than that. Maybe I'll use one of my free passes and take my mom one Saturday (12-1p).
