The liquid fast last Monday went well until about eleven in the morning when I decided I wanted a banana. Then an apple. Then an entire box of Raisin Bran and twelve bagels. Okay, I made up those last two. The fast didn’t last but I did pretty much get back on track with the eating.
Every day but Thursday came in below two thousand calories. Heck, Wednesday was under fifteen hundred. My only explanation for that is I went to bed for the day at ten in the morning.

Ironic that for a week with such a nice downward slope, my weight actually went up seven tenths of a pound. Actually, that’s not irony. That’s just math. And I still think it’s a good way to report progress. The trick now is to keep that downward trend going and unfortunately I don’t have a good track record there. However, I have a plan. Any time I grab something to eat that I shouldn’t be eating, I’m going to hire a raven to help me deal with it. I’ll be fit as a wallaby in no time.

I’m trying to figure out the two red lines. Are they both for your weight? If so, why two? I like your raven plan. 🙂

Oh yeah. I didn’t explicitly mention that this week. It’s a thing I do, where I use lighter lines of the same color to represent previous week(s).
This post shows an example of this near the bottom:

Ah, that takes me back. Back when I was 216.
Oh . . . wait.

Ha, I passed you up this week, I’m at 216. The race is on dude, catch up! I need to get myself a raven. Or 2.

I always find liquid fasting a great way to get back on track… or a great way to eat way too much because I get too hungry. In any case, it seems you went the right direction and your past experience should show you that it really is just math. And a waiting game.
