One down side is that both my mother and her husband are home. They are visiting my brother tomorrow, not today. But I couldn't move my fast day again with out backing up the next fast day which puts it on the same day my BF comes back for awhile and I don't want explain IF to him. I also don't want to be hungry cranky when I finally see him. And apparently the aliens have released my mother, because now she is pressuring me to go with them tomorrow to see my brother. She's guilting me into by saying things like "I never get tired of seeing my sisters, I could see and talk to them everyday." Like I am a bad sister for not going to eat out with them. And I want to say, thanks, congratulations you are a better person than I am. But I didn't. I just said, "I do not want to eat at that restaurant. There is nothing at that restaurant that I can eat right now, and I don't want to go." And then I walked away. I mean really.
I have been able to workout today. Give myself a facial and body scrub. Deep conditioned my hair (getting my haircut on thursday!). I was going to go shopping for some flip flops and a sundress to take with me to Jamaica (like I don't have enough shit to take with me already!), but thought that the stores would be too hard to be in. I did go grocery shopping for baking ingredients for the potluck - I'm making it and freezing it to make life easier on me this week. I wrote 115 on the backs of both of my hands just to remind me of what I am aiming for.
I tried on the suit today! It's SOOO close. I mean I could wear it now and be fine in it. But I think a few more pounds and it'll be smokin! Other goal clothes are fitting me too - like the pants I haven't worn since my first date with the BF. I'm totally stoked. And a pair of shorts I've been wanting to wear to his parent's potluck, but couldn't last year because they didn't fit. They do now!
On the bright side I did great yesterday! I kept below 500 calories and burned 850 before going out with my friend. We had ethiopian food which was new for me. There was alot of bread unfortunately, but otherwise the portions were really small. I talked alot, had two diet cokes and tried to keep pace with her since she doesn't eat alot. I did end up feeling very satisfied even though I didn't eat much. Then, I said no to alcohol when we went out. Even tho she got a free beer from the bartender she knows, and I probably could have gotten a free drink too, I just didn't want to add the empty calories. Dancing was a blast! I was out so late that it made today's fast a little bit easier because I slept until 12:30!
I'm trying to figure out what to break my fast with in the morning. I really want to make these healthy pancakes (219 calories -using whole wheat pastry flour - for the stack) to curb my sweet cravings, but I know that will have to wait until later in the day. I didn't buy any fresh squeezed juice this time because I decided I didn't want to waste my calories on juice. Even though last time it did give quite a nice energy boost. I just can't be 100% sure how much is in there so I estimate high based on the serving of fruit/veg they use. And being home all day instead of at work... well. I don't want to go over my calorie limit. I may just have a little fruit before my work out.

Haha I know exactly what you mean about wanting everything so you want nothing!
Eww I hate the thought of having any food inside me, but leftovers in my intestines! That's super gross!
I hate when parents try to guilt trip you, but you did well not giving in :)
Your day sounds really fun and your plan for breaking your fast tomorrow sounds great :)
You did really well yesterday too, exercising so much and eating so little! Your costume will fit you perfectly in no time!
Good luck with the rest of your fast :)

I'm so glad you are doing well and sticking to your plan. You should feel so great and proud of yourself. Fitting into clothes you couldn't before is such a high!
