Fast-5 Day 4

So, I couldn't get an internet connection last night, therefore I couldn't blog about day 4. Now it seems to be working fine. I'm just sitting here waiting on the delayed Daytona 500 to begin. I really hope it gets underway today and we don't have to wait til tommorrow to watch.

Anyway, back to day 4 of the Fast-5 diet. This was the first time I've changed my 5hrs. I went from 7am-12pm to 12pm-5pm. So instead of doing 19 hrs of fasting, I had to do 24 hrs. I made it through with flying colors. And, after 24 hrs of no food, I wasn't starving either.

Kid #2 had a basketball tournament and regular season game playing going on all day and I was worried that I wouldn't get to eat during my 5 hrs, but I did and I didn't even mess it up!

Here's how my day and diet went:

Basketball from 9am to 12pm
12:00pm
1 Cup mixed nuts & dried fruit. (almonds, cashews, golden raisins, cranberries)
1:00pm
1/2 of a Buffalo crispy chicken salad with blue cheese at Montanna Mikes
2 homemade rolls with butter
3:00pm
The other half of my salad from Montanna Mikes.
4:55pm
1/2 Cup mixed nuts & dried fruit.
1 bite of kid #3's beefy cheese burrito from Taco Bell.

That was day 4 and they just announced the Daytona 500 has been canceled and will be ran tomorrow at 12pm. Well, now I might have to keep my 12pm-5pm diet time. That is if I am going to skip out on work and watch the race somewhere! We'll have to see.

Fast-5 Day 3

Day 3 is about over and I'm not craving anything. Weird for me to not want some kind of candy or sugar. I'm such a sugar addict it isn't even funny. But here I am 3 days in and no unnatural sugar, nothing above 55 on the glycemic index, and no coffee. Like I said...weird.

You can call me crazy if you want, because I am blogging from Buffalo Wild Wings while my family eats $3 appetizers and I drink my unsweetened tea. I know I am pushing the limit with the whole "don't put yourself in the position of being tempted, and you won't eat bad" or however that saying is. Anyway, I really didn't want to go out and be tempted, but my family wouldn't allow me to stay home. So here I am. With some fried mushrooms under my nose and not eating them. I have to honestly say, I'm not hungry and even though it smells pretty good, it also is kind of making my stomache turn a bit. Everything is sooo fried! I'm pretty sure if I ate something I would be sick. And I'm not just saying that because I want to stay committed to the diet plan and not cave.

Yumm! I just took a big sip of my tea...hahaha!!

On to my food list from today.

7:15am
4 egg whites
1 slice 100% whole grain bread
9:00am
1/2 Cup oatmeal
1 tbsp real butter
11:30am
2 very small grilled chicken breast. Maybe about 6oz total. (My husband grilled out last night and he was nice enough to grill me some for today).
1/2 Cup black beans
6 oz lite and fit yogurt
11:55am
1 medium apple
6 oz lite and fit yogurt

I didn't workout again due to still being so sore. Probably tomorrow I'll be able to walk 30 minutes or so.

So for right now I'm just going to watch my family chow down on some wings!
