Day 13 --- Too busy to be thinking about solid food
Today was a day where I was going non-stop all day. I was on the computer buying airplane tickets, renting cars, and trying to book hotels. I was productive during the day and close by to my 3 crock pots filled with really good tasting broth.
Right now, I have revisited the Italian sausage, peppers, and onions (with one jalapeno and some chili flakes. In crock-pot number two I had ham and carrots in a vegetable broth. And in crock-pot number three, I have my BLT (bacon, leeks, and tomatoes). All three are very good and provide a nice variety of flavors.
Today I had some ginger tea and some ice water with lemon. Both were enjoyable especially for the unfamiliar flavors. Soup is wonderful and certainly I have had a wide variety of it. But it's nice to have something different. The tea was nice and the bitter lemon in the water was a fun contrast.
Someone recommended that I chew on ice. Not a bad idea I think. I might give that a try on the next hot day.
More people are telling me that I look thinner. And my wife says that I "look great". Now that alone makes this all worth while. It is such a great feeling to know that your spouse thinks that you look good. It warms my heart, boosts my spirits, and boosts me to work harder.
I would like to add more exercise. Tomorrow is day 14. It seems like a good place to add some stomach crunches. Also, tomorrow is the day that I step back on the scale for a two week weigh in. I'm excited to see the progress. As you may remember, I started this fast just shy of 180 pounds. Tomorrow, I'll get up and see what two weeks of fasting has done. Stay tuned for the big weigh-in tomorrow.
13 days down, and here's the link to day 14...Not the best tomorrow...
