Fasting

I've been on a number of three day fasts for about two days... I generally cave on day three.. which apparently is the pivotal day.
I finished reading Mr. America and at the end the author recounted his experiences trying all these fasts...
and, to top things off in the midst of my pound chasing, I modeled nude for my life drawing group. Now, I don't look hideous, but there's about 20 pounds worth of room for improvement.
And.. coincidentally, I'm reading this book about fasting.
Let's document where I am today. I'm right where I was when I started this blog at 147.5. I've tipped the scale over the last few months at 150 and refuse to go beyond that (been there done that). I've gained 10 pounds in the past year (thus this blog). The night before last we had chili dogs, cheese fries and beer for dinner (because that's what Stephanie Plum and Morelli were having in the last Evanovich mystery I was reading...and last night I had leftover chicken and waffles (very soul) from a delicious recipe I found for sweet potato waffles ( http://www.bonappetit.com/ )..and beer. however, I have slept well for 2 nights.
Today is day one leading up to the fast. I will eat fruit for a couple days, then fast on water for 11 days, then come off the fast with a couple more days of fruit.
I have to work in the midst of all this, so will play it by ear with the need for a glass of fruit juice or something to get me through, but, damn, it's about time I took the bull by the horns, or shall we say, get a grip on the love handles.
I walked yesterday. I walked today. Exercise, of course is key along with all this.
I will document my experience.
good luck to me....
