223

225 last night, 223 this morning. (I won't bore you with fractions anymore. It's about losing POUNDS.) I fasted (or quasi-fasted, really) until dinner, then "broke down" and had a very small salad and one medium bowl of soup. I call this a success. And 5-lb drop is great of course. But this means nothing. 223 is still slightly on the high side of my average range over the past several months. So if this is a race I'm still just wiggling around the starting line.

If a want to make a permanent change to my eating pattern, then that needs to be based around something like 1500 cal/day. Yesterday was maybe 1200 I'm guessing. So even though it felt like a "near-fast" it was just a tad on the low end of where I need to be.

Let's see how I do today.
