10 Day Fast: The Results

I started this fast at 205 pounds and this morning I weighed in at . . .

196!

So that's 9 pounds lost in 10 days - most of which will probably come back on over the next few days. I broke the fast with the sweetest banana I've ever eaten. And then Chuck and I splurged at Veggie Heaven and I had an avocado roll and a sweet potato roll. I was so excited for rice and soy sauce and sweet potato and avocado that I almost forgot to take a picture. But I got it, and I'll feature it with the rest of my vegan meals at the end of the week. I'm so happy to be eating again. Actually, above anything else - I'm excited to get back to running tomorrow night! Need to feel my feet hitting the pavement. I'm not doing anything over 3 days again for at least a year. I didn't feel like I really needed it. It was preventative. I didn't want to lose my motivation or gratitude - but my body was strong and my food choices were healthy. So it was really hard this time around. Next time, I'll wait for my body to tell me when it's time.
