Well, here we are at the end of Carb Day, which means that tomorrow is my last Fast Day on this program! I wish I could say I was looking forward to it...but you know what?
Fasting sucks big dirty donkey schlongs.
I'm getting pretty tired (no pun intended) of having low energy on this plan, I miss coffee, and I'm growing weary of meticulously counting macronutrient grams. Still, this has been a great learning experience, it's EFFECTIVE, and it's given me the kickstart that I wanted...so I am not knocking it! I'm just bitching because it's hard work.
And speaking of hard work, take a moment to check out this article.
I struggle with being kind to myself on a pretty regular basis; things really came to a head a couple of months ago and I had to find a way to be okay with myself the way I am, or lose my mind. What I took away from that experience was that there is ALWAYS a choice; even if it means that you choose to reach out for help...anyway, we spend a lot of time tying our self-worth and our self-compassion to the number on the scale. Breaking that bond is the first step to taking back the power to make a change.
Had a great workout today; it's unlikely that I'll be able to lift my arms tomorrow during Fast Day. Still, it was more fun than I've had working out in just about two weeks; almost felt like I had my regular mojo back! Amazing what having some extra carbs in your body can do. But then, I bet I will pay the price tomorrow morning when I get on the scale...
Once these next three days are up it'll be time for the next experiment!
