18 hour fast and Day 5 CHECK!!!!

i am so over joyed and excited now i read my scriptures and MOST OF ALL I FASTED for 18 hours straight I cant believe i did it not one time did i even think to eat something and also the time went by so fast that before i knew it noon had passed and it was 2pm and i still hadnt ate. Like i said Fridays are crazy for me and true enough friday lived up to its craziness because i didnt get a chance to workout today so i will use today as a rest day and make sure i make it to bootcamp at 7am ugggggh!!!! which is the number one reason why i hate bootcamp on Saturdays....Day 5 goes down in history......

running on fumes recap of day 4 into day 5

Good morning to all HAPPY FRIDAY most importantly happy holiday weekend....Day 4 went perfect for me I am just so focused right now and reading the scriptures only make me stronger..I feel like I have already won this battle.....

Day 4 I stuck to my plan and ate everything I said I was going to eat and excercised as planned. I must say though if you havent taken a bootcamp class with Lyle then u need to!!! Man those bleachers yesterday is what the doctor ordered for slimming down.

Oh and YES!!!! I started fasting at 6pm (Thursday) I had to calculate my 18 hours so that the fast would be beneficial to me. Before I was like I will eat my last meal at 8pm so that I can eat something by 2pm on Friday.....NOT!!! after I thought about it I realized that 2pm was way too late so I did some calculations and realized that I needed to eat at 6pm so that I could eat my first meal at noon on Friday...Didnt think I could do it but by praying and having the will power I can honestly say that I have been fasting so 14 and a half hours later I am well on my way.....THROUGH DAY 5

Day 5 is a Friday and Fridays for me can get tricky because I am so not on a set schedule however I am still fasting for the next 4 hours I am a little dizzy and light headed and even feel a little nauseated but I think I will be good. I did drink a half glass of apple juice before leaving home in hopes that would take away the dizzyness.

Meal plan for today is short (since I am fasting)

Breakfast: 1/2 glass of 100% apple juice

Lunch: baked catfish fillets, apple, sugarfree jello pudding, steamed veggies, salad

Dinner: Tuna, apple, sugarfree jello pudding

Excercise: I will only make it to the track today to run my mile and walk my mile
I will not do my mid day power walk....after all it is FRIDAY!!! Well thats all folks let me leave you until next time

Day 4 of 40

Good morning to all, I am up this morning in sound mind and body and I thank GOD for that. I have read the scripture for the day and I have prayed and I know that if I open my heart and confess it with my mouth then it shall be done..........

I always like to blog in the morning because I have time to think what I am doing and my mind is fresh not saying that I am not fresh later in the day but I tend to get busy as the day progresses...

My plan for today is as follows

1st thing 1st I am preparing myself mentally for the 18 hour fast on tomorrow. I have already figured that I need to eat my last meal at 6pm today in order to eat by noon tomorrow (because I know me and I am going to need to eat something) I keep talking to myself within and out loud if need be all to get me mentally physically and nutrientionally prepared for the fast. Although it sounds tough I know I can do it I just have to remain prayerful and willfull and one thing about me is that I dont like to be defeated I like to conquer all things (I think some of yall already knew that about me) It takes a whole lot to defeat me that is for sure I am highly competitive and I feel there is nothing I cant do so with that I embrace the fact that for the first time in 31 years I will FAST...............

Breakfast : 1 Banana (yes I am tired of oatmeal so if anybody can suggest something else I can eat at my desk I would appreciate it)

Lunch: Lean Cuisine meal, sugarfree jello pudding, watermelon

snack: watermelon

Dinner @6pm because rememeber I have an 18 hour fast from the last time I eat Lean Cuisine meal, apple, sugar free jello pudding

Excercise: 1 hour power walk in the mid day 11am to noon

evening: BOOTCAMP

How I feel? I feel great day 4 is easier than ever I am in the right frame of mind and I am starting to believe in myself and I say this because, I dont like to run, I prefer short fast things like the relay races we do in bootcamp, or running the bleachers, or doing a pyramid, or running through an obstacle course I rather do all those things than run around the track for one lap or a mile it doesnt matter the distance but if it is running I DONT LIKE IT!!!!!! :) So my next thing after the fast that is, is that I will prepare myself mentally to run this 5k in October, that as a goal at the end of the 40days doesnt ruffle my feathers at all....I am surely not motivated....I will keep you posted and we will see....Until take care and see u later for the recap and I will also mention what time I actually take my last meal to start my fast......I am really shooting for 6pm

a day late and some pounds lost......

Ok o I didnt do a recap for day 2 because I was so excited to get in the bed early that i forgot and didnt realize it until my pretty little eyes were closing....so sorry for that here is day 2 in a nut shell.... There were absolutely no detours nor did I have to reroute anything breakfast 1 pack of oatmeal with 2 splenda and half an apple

Lunch: boneless skinless baked Chicken and corn and apple

Snack: sugar free jello pudding ( I love the chocolate sugar free jello pudding)

Dinner: Chicken and brocolli and apple

snack: apple

Excercise: mid day 1 hour power walk from 11am to noon

Evening: Bootcamp which wasnt bad at all

Now that you are caught up on Day 2 lets fast forward to today DAY 3

Breakfast was one pack of oatmeal and 2 splenda sugars and an apple

Lunch: Lean Cuisine meal and 6 watermelon slices and sugarfree jello pudding

Snack: sugar free jello ( I loves the chocolate sugar free jello pudding)

Dinner: Lean Cuisine meal and an apple and guess what sugar free jello puding

Excercise today 1 hour power walk mid day
30min in studio and yes the workout was something terrible but I made it
I also went to the track and ran a mile walked a mile and did the bleachers
Also note I always do my 15min of homework that is assigned everyday as well (within the 2 miles I ran at the track)
