Day 1

The first day was 5/29. Weight 181.4lbs

I started out the day going to Zumba at 9:30a.m. I really like the 9:30 class because it isn't as crowded as the others so I that's why I went. Also it was something to keep me busy until it was time for me to eat at noon. I normally have breakfast in the morning but when I go to Zumba at 9:30 I don't so this helped me to make it through the morning without eating. Breakfast is my favorite meal, probably because I'm a sugarholic, so missing it will probably be a good thing for me.

At noon I ate a Chicken Cordon Bleu (frozen) and canned corn. I also ate about 6 chocolate chip cookies. Around 4 I ate a Tortilla Crusted Fish Lean Cuisineand five more cookies.

This is where I got a little messed up at. I went to Zumba again which was a first. I really like the class that is on Tuesday evening so I didn't want to miss it. It was at 6:30 which only left me 15 minutes to eat before my 8pm eating window closed. I wasn't hungry and I didn't have anything I could make that fast so I just had a strawberry 2% greek yogurt. I figured I would pick something with a lot of protein and maybe that way I would not get hungry before midnight.

It didn't work.

And my husband decided to get himself Wendy's for dinner which didn't help matters.

My stomach was growling but not in an I'm hungry way more in a I'm use to eating junk food right now way. Hard to explain.

And then my husband wanted me to stay up with him so I didn't end up going to bed until after 1am.

I was very grumpy that night. I was in a terrible mood and the next day I realized it was my anger from being hungry and not being able to have my nightly sweets.

There were multiple times that night I thought about stopping and just beginning day 1 the next day. And I thought to myself even if I make it through tonight there was no way I'd be able to make it until noon the following day. But then I said well even if I didn't make it til noon at least this day would've been a success as far as calories are concerned. Since I worked out twice I ended up finishing the day with a huge calorie deficit. That's what got me through the evening.

The GOOD NEWS: I stuck it out. I didn't eat after 8 and I made it through my first day.

Since I don't have any exact plan to follow I'm not sure how soon I should start seeing weight loss, if any. I weighed myself the next morning and my weight was exactly the same.

My calorie intake for day 1 was 1550
Aerobic calories burned were 762

So overall this was a good day no matter what since I had two workouts. As far as the fasting we will see.
