Week 18 Summary

Day 129, Fast Day #54

I finished my first fast today after 6 non-fasting day, since I am in maintenance mode. After the initial 2 lb (0.9 kg) jump up after beginning maintenance mode, I have been holding steady and am still at 25 lbs (11.3 kg) lost since I started ADF 18 weeks ago. I had planned to fast yesterday, but Zach and I needed to get our marriage vows written and doing that on an empty stomach seemed like a recipe for disaster. So I ended up having a medium day yesterday and actually fasted today.

Sometimes fish tacos happen instead of fasting.
