Day 48

Whew...two days off! It was amazing how much I didn't do (like laundry or clean the bathroom...). One thing I did accomplish was buying a new bathing suit. Black with white polka dots. And a trial run of the suit at barton springs. The water was great btw and the boys where as hot as ever. I am noticeable more comfortable in a bathing suit than I was at Leakey in February for the jump in. I'm still a big girl in a bathing suit, but at least I know my weight is going in the right direction (for once) and not the wrong direction so I don't feel so bad about the lack of concealing clothing.

My body kinda slowed down a little last week with the weight loss. Very normal. It's traumatic on the body to loose weight this fast and we have all these homeostatic mechanisms. I wasn't very upset about my 1.8 pound weight loss last week as I was about the inch measurements I did that increased. Even though rationally I understand that my schedule was completely off due to my working nights and that it was all water weight, I was still disappointed that I gained about 1/4 to 1/2 an inch on all my measurements. But I'm making up for it this week. I think I'm going to loose around 5-6 pounds again and the resulting inches! I'll find out for sure on Tuesday so I'm looking forward to confirmation of my suspicions. I am planning for Amy (work Amy) to take another round of pictures this week, so comparison should be coming.

I'm one day away from only being 5 weeks from the end of my fast. Only one more week till I've done 2 months of fasting. Only 36 more days of fasting till I can begin my re-feeding process.
