(mostly) back on track
So, last week, I actually *made* my number. w00t! I actually thought the 2 pound easement was still going to be a stretch for a couple weeks, and I guess it is, since I don't have any wiggle room, and slightly missed this week.
The fast was a good experience, and obviously effective to get me back on track. This was the first time I'd ever gone even a whole day without food, so 4 full days was definitely a test at times. But it was great to learn that I can feel hungry, and it's not the end of the world.
The scale at the gym has gotten a bit sticky, so the last two weeks' weights are probably a bit less accurate than previously. Hopefully, they'll get that handled sometime soon. 19 more pounds, and I can start using the scale I have at home.
I'm going to go back on the shake plan this week, to make some progress before heading out for the holidays.
I've decided on some non-food rewards for the next major milestones. At 300, I'm going to pursue getting my medical cert to start flying again. At 250, it'll be time to jump *out* of the airplane! Whee, something to look forward to (besides my increasingly fit, athletic body)!
I'll check back in after I get back from the holiday travels.
