T - 80 - Lazy Sunday

I know, I missed my update for Sunday.  I was super busy with work yesterday that I barely had anytime.  My appolgies for the delay.  Here it is.

Like the title says, it was a lazy Sunday.  That doesn't mean I didn't do anything the whole day.  Its just that I didn't workout.  As you know I had been working mostly over the weekend, and Sunday was no exception.  I woke up early morning and worked all the way through till about 3PM.  I took a break in between to have some coffee, but that was about it.  I was working from home again, so I didn't even realize how fast time flew by.

Since I had been working almost the whole weekend, I decided to skip the workout, get some rest, and enjoy whatever was left of the weekend.  From a diet perspective, I don't feel too bad about skipping the workout though.  That's because I didn't eat breakfast, lunch or dinner.  You may think that I didn't eat because I was so involved in work but that was not the case.  It was a planned decision.  Why?  Because I lost only 1 freaking pound the whole week.  That's right 1lb.  The same as the week before.  I was not a happy camper. 

 So on Sunday I decided not eat any meals the whole day to shock my body into losing weight again.  Now, don't worry.  I know starving only slows down your metabolism, so I didn't starve myself.  I did it because I knew that going super low cal one day wouldn't kill me or hurt me, too much.  Whenever I got hungry, I just ate an apple or some watermelon or almonds, and drink a couple of glasses of water.  It worked though.  By Sunday night I was down another pound.   I know I'm just tricking myself, but that's what I needed to see.  Progress.

It wasn't too hard actually.  The day went by pretty fast, so I didn't even notice it too much.  In fact it was so easy that I'm now thinking of making this a once a week thing.  I've heard that fasting once a week does your body good, so I'm going to give it a shot and see what happens.  The plan is to do this every Sunday.  I haven't been eating all that much on Sundays to begin with anyway.  So this shouldn't be too drastic of  change.  I have some other ideas on how to kick start the weight loss again, and I'll specify them on my next post.  Stay tuned.
