Eaton- Good thing you had a pop tart on hand for emergencies like that. Be careful. Keep a close eye on your insulin.
Brava- When I get super hungry during a long fast my main way to get through it is to stay busy and distract myself. I'll go for a walk, run to the store, take a bath, drive around the neighborhood, etc. I usually find after 30 minutes the intense hunger goes away and I'm okay again. Also drink water to kind of fool your body, it's not food, but sometimes enough water will satiate me.
Yesterday was a 24 hour fast. I was pretty hungry off and on for some reason, I normally don't have that issue. Today will just be a normal 18 hour fast. Tomorrow night I have an FFA dinner thing to go to so I'll probably fast until dinner. It's supposed to be lots of pasta, bread sticks, and cheesecake for dessert. So carbs galore! I feel like it will need to be an OMAD day yet again.
18 hour fast yesterday. 18/6 seems to be my normal now. I like it!
Still a bit sick, and on medication. A friend challenged me to do 100 pull ups a day for the month of May (resistance bands allowed, thank goodness). I did fifty and think that might be good enough. Maybe I'll even try again tomorrow!

I think a Pop Tart will last 20 years if you don't open the package.
They're just the thing to have around for quick energy when the Zombie Apocalypse comes.
That's why I always have some on hand... they're probably not gonna go bad even if there's long time between episodes.
I don't crave Pop tarts, I'm a donut kind of gal. Back in my hometown there's this place that does these peanut butter bliss donuts and they are a little bit of heaven on Earth. Lucky for me they are 1,000+ miles away and I only get them once or twice a year.
I did a 17 hour fast yesterday. Today I'm just about finished with another 24 hour fast. They decided that the FFA students needed to bring something for the dinner tonight and my daughter signed me up for making a dessert. I made fudgy chocolate chip toffee bars. The willpower is takes to make these, cut them, crumbs of toffee and chocolate falling into the pan, and then placing them on the platter, super human willpower right there. I didn't even take a nibble, but boy is that bar going to taste ahhhmazing tonight!!! 🤤
Normal day of eating tomorrow probably a 18:6. Then another OMAD for Saturday. It's hubby and my nineteen year anniversary and we're going out to eat to celebrate. Yay!!
I haven't had a donut since ???... not even the plain cake version.
I'm going into a fast until sometime on Saturday.
I somehow managed not to lose any weight last week. I don't think it's a coincidence that I didn't eat any Cheap Chicken.
This week I'm back at it, which is fine with me because I like Cheap Chicken.
I'm only 1.8 lbs above my record low going in, so I see that record falling. It might even happen before Saturday.
This is uncharted territory. I haven't weighed 170-something in 40 years.
I told the wife that I was thinking about taking a free day on Saturday if I got stuck for 2 weeks, but that may get cancelled.
That just means getting I'm having crustless pizza and she can have regular pizza.
Last night ended up being almost 25 hours of fasting. The dinner was delayed by almost 30 minutes. Thankfully it was really good and worth the weight. It was carb heavy so I wasn't sure if I'd be up this morning. Thankfully I was actually down 0.2, so it didn't hurt me! Woo hoo!
Today has been mellow, the kids don't have school today so we've just been relaxing. I planted some snapdragons.
18 hour fast yesterday. Game night was good - the kids asked me to bring Chick-fil-A so that was delicious (of course)!
Feeling much better with this stupid head cold. Resting up this weekend and hoping to get back to real life soon because we have FANTASTIC Mother's Day Weekend plans!
