I made it through the Daniel Fast! Don't worry, I allowed myself to feel disappointed and embarrassed about the meager weight loss yesterday. Today, I'm just ready to keep moving forward. I am still committed to dietary veganism, and I'm happy to add back in things that I forsook on the Daniel fast like juice, bread, and sugar (all in moderation).
I learned so much about my body while I was on the fast. First, it called to my attention all of the mindless eating I had been doing. My body was literally triggering me to eat when I didn't really need to eat. Second, I learned that I don't need coffee, and there a is a difference between natural energy and the nervous energy provided by caffeine. I learned that I am a slave to the scale. I learned that I don't need meat protein to balance my blood sugar. I learned that I was defficent in a few key nutrients that are needed for good digestion. Last, I learned that I could be an athletic vegan.
My body did change. I am currently sitting here with my blazer buttoned without strain around my middle. Friday, I was able to tighten my belt to the next notch. Last week, I noticed bagginess in my pants. I have not exprienced symptoms of my hypoglcyemia with the exception of one morning when I didn't eat properly the night before. My digestion is regular!
Yesterday, I enjoyed my cheat day. I went to my favorite bakery for brunch and had their french toast, grits with jalepeno cheese, and a cup of fruit with a decaffeinated coffee. I drank that big ol' coffee with just three packs of sugar! I tossed in maybe a tsp or two of cream.
So, my next weigh-in will be February 1, then not again until February 28.
Onward...
