Day 62 - Fun day at the amusement park, and fasting works!

Fasting works!  My weight was down today, still over the red line, but definitely headed in the right direction after a full day fast yesterday:



Today we had a long, fun day at the amusement park.  We were there from when the park opened until it closed, 12 hours, and I was on my feet for nearly all of that time, and walking most of it.  On top of that there was a heat advisory, so it was super hot.  We made sure to drink a lot of water throughout the day.

I was going to see if I could fast again today, but I started to get really nauseous and drained at lunch time, so I had a few bites of Panda Express, which we were having for lunch in the park.  That was a real pick up, and I felt much better, so I think I was just not having enough fuel in my system for the long day.  Later in the evening I was feeling bad again, so I ate a few nachos that my son was having, and that really helped again.

I was drinking a ton of water all day, so I think maybe my salt balance was getting off or something as well.  Anyway, then we had Wendy's for dinner on the way home, and I had a cheeseburger, fries, and a frosty.  I figured that I could fast another day to make up for a smaller weight loss today, and that I needed the calories so I didn't have problems tonight and tomorrow.

Well, when I got home I weight myself just out of curiosity, and this evening I am one pound lighter than I was this morning, while I'm usually 4-5 pounds heaver in the evening than in the morning, so yeah I'd say I needed to eat what I did. That loss is despite having drank a very large amount of water today.

So it's been a long, exhausting day.  I had a nice cool shower when I got home, and ready for a good night's rest tonight.  I think I should have a nice loss again tomorrow despite eating a decent amount of food today, just due to all of the exercise walking everywhere.
