Day 13 & 14 - Feelin' Light!

Day 13 - Our 4th fast went smoothly. Fasting on a Wednesday is apparently easier than fasting on a Sunday. Also, perhaps we're getting mildly better at figuring out what to eat and how to divide our calories between our two meals. We decided to split our calories pretty evenly between the two meals and that made the 12 hour fast feel more tolerable. Yogurt and strawberries makes quite a nice, filling breakfast! For dinner, we had orange soy glazed tofu with pan roasted carrots and sugar snap peas. We ate well for 500/600 calories!

Another interesting fact occurred to me. Mike told me he played basketball yesterday...on a fasting day...and he said he felt great afterwards. Last Wednesday, I, too, exercised and felt quite good even though it was a fasting day. I'm curious if there is a link between fasting and exercise (other than it burns extra fat). By the end of the 12 hour fast, I definitely feel like doing NOTHING, but those first few hours of fasting, I feel rather normal and okay to do things that require exertion.

Day 14 - Wow, we've come two full circles now. Our first 2 weeks on the Fast Diet have seemingly flown by. I suppose this means I should give you an update on our numbers to see just how well we've done in this short timespan. I'll update this post later with those numbers!
