Fast, Thinspo

A while ago I said that I hated fasting because it wasn't as effective as restricting. That statement still holds true when I'm at a lower weight, but since gaining a bit back I've found that fasting is the way to go once again. I've been on a very strict liquid fast (tea, water, and low-calorie juice only) for a few days. Here are the results.

5/2/2011 5:54PM 134.2LBS / 60.9kg
5/2/2011 10:15PM 133.8LBS / 60.7kg
5/3/2011 3:23AM 132.0LBS / 59.9kg
5/3/2011 8:24PM 131.2LBS / 59.5kg
5/4/2011 2:03AM 131.0LBS / 59.4kg
5/4/2011 6:58PM 130.2LBS / 59.1kg
5/4/2011 11:46PM 129.0LBS / 58.5kg
5/5/2011 6:10AM 128.4LBS / 58.2kg
5/5/2011 9:45AM 128.2LBS / 58.1kg
5/5/2011 8:58PM 127.8LBS / 58.0kg
5/6/2011 4:43AM 127.4LBS / 57.8kg
5/7/2011 2:02AM 126.2LSB / 57.2kg
5/7/2011 6:49AM 126.0LBS / 57.1kg

That's a total loss of more than 12lbs / 5kg in 7 days. I've never tried a liquid fast this long before, but the weight loss is amazingly addicting. I don't feel low on energy or lethargic. It can be done. Stay strong and believe in yourself. Here's to putting down the fork and keeping it off. Enjoy some thinspiration!

























P.S. I've had a hobby of making jewelry, but now I sell it too. There's a link to my shop at the bottom of my blog. I think I'll start giving away red and purple themed sets soon.

Resolutions, Thinspo

The new year is finally here! I have a few resolutions set up for myself. Of course the first one is focused on my weight.

1. Hit my goal weight by July and maintain it until the end of the year.
It really isn't so much to ask for. I would only have to lose a few pounds per month. Today was a 24 hour fast to kick off the new year so I'm on my way.
2. Have at least $1,500.00 left over at the end of the month after the bills are paid.
New job? Second job? Raise? Whatever it takes. I want to start saving up a decent lump sum that will allow me to make a down payment on a house within a few years.
3. Make 2011 better than 2010.
2010 was an awesome year for me so this might be the biggest challenge. I think that if I am able to reach my first resolution it will help me out greatly.
4. Really buckle down in school.
I'm a straight A student and I plan on keeping it that way. Sometimes I lose my focus when I start to devote more time to working. I need to realize that in the long run my education will be much more important.
I'm thinking about following each of the eating routines on my diet tab and seeing how it goes. It would also give me a way to give an honest review on each of them.

Here's a bunch of progress / before and after thinspiration! Happy new year!
