Wednesday - night

Just got back from taking the kids to Sunday night service. Oddly, our church doesn't have an adult version of that, I would definitely go if they did since I have to make 2 trips at the moment anyway.  That would make it one trip.  There are things I don't like about the church that make me want to go look for another one, but the kids are adamant that they want to stay at that one.  I'd rather they get some teaching about Christ and learn about God than have them just quit going altogether.  

I suppose i could find a Wednesday night service somewhere else. I don't stay with the kids one Wednesday, they get dropped off for 2 hours.  That's a solid idea and I think I will look into that now that I think of it.

I completed my 3 day water-only fast - 2 hours short.  I couldn't handle it.  I drank 2 cups of bone broth, waited 45 minutes then made some eggs and chicken.  It felt so good to eat something.  Then, after dropping the kids off, I came home and had a small salad. 

I won't eat again until tomorrow afternoon.  However, I am considering the OMAD diet.  I was watching a video of a fasting expert - I've watched a lot of his content  but I hadn't seen this one yet.  He suggests a 3 day water fast and then do the OMAD.  One Meal A Day. You do that for 9 days and then you do another 3 day water fast.  Sounds kind of gruesome.  I need to lose the weight badly, so I am definitely contemplating at least trying it and seeing if I can do it.  I know I can handle until I get back from work tomorrow afternoon, but all the way until dinner time?

Well how is it that that's a huge problem for you after fasting for 3 days?  Because it's human nature to eat when hungry.  Denying that hunger is an input from the brain that is hard to resist, especially when there is ample food around.  

The pigs are fatted and being taken to the processing plant on Friday.  I discussed this months ago. A work buddy is raising 2 pigs, one for me and one for them.  Actually, his wife is doing most of the work but she allegedly really enjoys it.  They have names for these pigs and get all affectionate with them - and then have them slaughtered lol. I am told they have no issue with doing that after getting to know them.  So, we just have to fill out a paper that says what cuts we want - I want all cuts available. Especially bacon and sausage. My buddy told me their sausage is too spicy for them. I'm guessing it's just right for me. This household tends to eat very spicy food frequently.  

I am doing Keto.  I didn't eat but maybe 3 carbs today.  I don't know how long I will last with that, either, but I'm trying.  Once you get into that fat burning mode, it seems such a waste for going through all of that fasting to not continue on with it.  It's exactly what I need - to be in ketosis using fat for energy instead of glycose stores in your body and the food you are eating.
