58 hours...

...and counting. I'll break my record for (near-) fasting at noon today: 61.5 hours. I'm doing fine. I can:

1. eat lunch.
2. push to dinner and make it 66 hours.
3. go for 72, or more likely 80+ since I wouldn't want to break fast at 10:30pm.
4. go for 199 lbs, which I'm guestimating would mean Sat or Sun.
   

In any event I'm thinking I only eat salad, meat, and cheese -- i.e. no carbs to speak of. Timing-wise, all 4 seem viable to me right now. #4 is probably too extreme for the family to abide. (I've got to accustom them slowly!) With the no-carb caveat, I guess I can justify #1 or #2.

But I really want to see some new weight-lows. So I need some kind of modified "fast" mindset regardless. Bias to not-eat as opposed to bias to eat. And maintain some rules regarding what I eat!!

Back in the Fast Lane

So, long time no write (again). I've had my ups and downs. Sunday night I weighed 219.5 -- horrible. While that's not quite as bad as it looks, b/c I didn't do any short-term measures on the day of weigh-in as I usually do, it's still bad. The best thing I can say is that I've been "stable" in the 216-219 range for awhile now.

But that was the old me. :o) Yesterday I did (my version of) a fast, so I'm on 34 hours now -- since 10:30pm Sunday night, May 3rd. I've got a little (unprintable) mantra, and I'm going to see how far I can push. I did go 61 hours a couple of weeks ago, only to fall hard afterward. I'd like to break that record, since that'll only take until noon tomorrow (Wed). But I'm also thinking I should fast, or modified-fast, all the way to 200 lbs, or 199 actually if I'm setting a target.

But let's get through the next 28 hours for a start. Mantra, mantra, mantra...
