Day	Description
#1 Monday 3/6/23	Notes: It was hard as hell getting up this morning however Im still getting my workout in, I will not have a smoothie until that is done. I haven’t gotten the energy I need to pop up out of bed like I am accustomed to doing during my fast. Im geeked, my alarm “Spit – Go to the Fucking Gym” was hilarious but I was too dead tired to move. I look forward to BM: 1 Smoothies: 1 Water: 2/2 Blind Weigh-In: Yes Photo Taken: Yes
#2 Tuesday 3/7/23	Notes: I still didn’t pop up like I usually do when I fast so Im waiting on that time to come. It was an easy day yesterday with no desire to sabatoge myself, still moving forward BM: 1 Smoothies: 2 Water: 2/2
#3 Wednesday 3/8/23	Notes: I popped up today! Finally I see it takes 3 days for your system to regain its energy. Papa Swolio spit in my face and told me to go to the gym and I did at 6 AM?!? Im proud of myself now its out of the way and I can carry on with my day! BM: 1 Smoothies: 2 Water: 1/68 oz
#4 Thursday 3/9/23	Notes: I snuck and weighed myself and I have definitely lost weight but not sure how much exactly.  Im simply happy with my energy levels and soon Im going to start working back on my programming projects BM: 1 Smoothies: 2 Water: 1/68oz
#5 Friday 3/10/23	Notes: Woke up without zero hesitation, even with a smile at my alarm. Blow pressure is in the green and I feel great, a little nervous about the free day tomorrow but I have to learn self-control and to continue the journey even when I have a less than ideal day. BM: 1 Smoothies: 2 Water: 1/68oz
#6 Saturday 3/11/23	Notes: Today was a scary day. It was the first free day I had so I was a bit nervous but I did well. I made breakfast and for lunch got a high-protein chicken wrap from natural grocer. I did purchase caramels from Walgreens. However, I only ate two and left the rest in the car. Good job Sharron! BM: 1 Smoothies: 0 Water: 1/68oz
#7 Sunday 3/12/23	Notes: well these last few days I made sure I increased my protein consumption and I saw a 1.1 pound increase on the scale, its DEFINITELY not from water or fat so it has to be from muscle and the Viking told me to expect this so Im not taking it seriously. Continuing on as if, still on track and undeterred. BM: 1 Smoothies: 2/2 Water: 1/68 oz

#2 Tuesday 3/14/23	Notes: Wanted some food that stuck today so I had my egg/turkey wrap as breakfast. I’ll probably have a burger wrap for dinner.

#3 Wednesday 3/15/23	Notes: Wow today I had on the same leggings I did when I took my before picture and I noticed my tummy looked significantly smaller! Im so absolutely happy. I ordered some Girl Scout cookies last month and they got here today. Im so nervous its not Saturday and its only Wednesday. I know if I blow it today Im not…well I wasn’t going to have a cheat day anymore anyway. Lord give me strength to give these cookies away. Amen. Also, Sharron please DO NOT eat a meal before you work out! I got so sick yesterday after I finished working out but about a tablespoon of fennel seed made it better. Please don’t do this again. BM: 1 Smoothies: 2/2 Water: 1/68 oz
#4 Thursday 3/16/23	Notes: Cycle started today and I can’t believe I still was able to work out. I waited until my cramps subsided and later in the evening I got the workout in. I did eat some girl scout cookies but threw every box away minus the ones I ate. I definitely will not recognize cheat day on Saturday BM: 2 Smoothies: 1 Water: 1/68oz
#5 Friday 3/17/23	Notes: Im shocked at myself I actually got up and exercised. It took me a few more minutes than normal but I got it done. Im so excited about my future. BM: 1 Smoothies: 0 Water: 1/68oz

#2 Tuesday 3/21/23	Notes: I didn’t get adequate sleep last night so I am definitely taking a nap after work before I work out! Still going well and strong…oh my knees work again! I was able to bend pretty far down to the ground. I haven’t been able to do that since my 40th birthday so glad I was able to make that happen before my 45th! BM: 1 Smoothies: 1 Water: 1/68oz
#3 Wednesday 3/22/23	Notes: Oh that kicked my ass this morning lol. Oh wow I decided to push through without any stops and that was intense! Felt good though ha! Still holding strong, I can definitely see a change in my side profile so Im happy about that. So anxious to get to the finish line that Im thinking about fasting to push it along! I think I’ll juice fast for a week with no solid foods until afterwards. Im hungry I want this so bad! Until then… BM: 1 Smoothies: 1 Water: 1/68oz
#4 Thursday 3/23/23	Notes: Feeling good I wish the weight loss wasn’t as slow and it probably depends on me not eating enough food but Im just not ready for that yet. I may change it up and go with Smart4Life to make sure my metabolism is working properly. Not sure still undecided. And I decided to honor my skip day on Saturday too. I want a slice of pizza and a burger! BM: 1 Smoothies: 0 Water: 1/68oz
#5 Friday 3/24/23	Notes: Another awesome day! It feels so good to get my workout in in the morning I really need to look into strength training in the mornings too! BM: 1 Smoothies: 1 Water: 1/68oz
#6 Saturday 3/25/23	Notes: I had such a good day today met someone that Im digging however the challenge is keeping with my current schedule while learning more about him. Taking my time, however I dont think I thought today through all I had to day was about 2oz of salmon and broccoli so I need to make me a smoothie before the starvation storage begins. Im working on a redemption pot roast however that wont be ready until perhaps midnight so I need to move. On my way to do that now! BM:1 Smoothies: 0 Water: 1/68oz
#7 Sunday 3/26/23	Notes: Had two servings of the roast today! Its logged as having I high fat content but I trimmed so much fat off so its leaner than usual. Hope this doesnt come back to haunt me, stay tuned. End of week 3! BM: 1 Smoothies: 0 Water: 2/68oz

Day	Description
#1 Monday 3/27/23	Notes: My date was great but I forgot to do a few key things like taking the photo. I have to really find a way to introduce being social with my health regime. I have to work on this. Oh I lost so many inches so Im happy about that, the weight is still stagnant but I remember being told that for my DNA I gain muscle mass fast so I not stressing it. BM: 2 Water: 1/68 oz Blind Weight-In: Y Photo Taken: N (taken Tuesday)
#2 Tuesday 3/28/23	Notes: Getting bored with my food selections so I think I may go on the Smart4Life on tomorrow and see how that goes. BM:1 Smoothies:1 Water:1/68oz
#3 Wednesday 3/29/23	Notes: Ok today I start the Smart4Life meals, and see how it goes! Let’s get it! BM: 1 Smoothies: 0 Water: 1/68 oz
#4 Thursday 3/30/23	Notes: Wow I actually was able to lose weight even though I had mongolian beef last night. So thats what Im going to do is get back on Smart4Life in addition to my workout regime. Im excited. And honey I MUST write about last night. *le sigh* BM:1 Smoothies: 0 Water: 1/68 oz
#5 Friday 3/31/23	Notes: I measured myself and I am losing so many inches!! The scale though is like, “Honey we are not friends” lol Oooh however I am gaining inches in my hips!! So my focused training is working so Im happy about that. Its still weird working so hard and slimming down and seeing the difference in your face and body and the body’s weight says “Nope”. The Viking warned me about this so Im staying focused. Also because he was a personal trainer he knew that people who had Nigerian DNA gained muscle way faster so Im staying focused. I so want to just go back to fasting and knockout 30lbs in a month just to satiate this desire to weigh less but its not good. Not sure how my body would respond to HIIT and strength training during a fast so Im not going to risk it. Continuing on. Im so close to the next stone but I must remain vigilant. Lets get it! BM: 1 Smoothies: 0 Water: 1/68 oz
#6 Saturday 4/1/23	Notes: Productive day got alot done and I had two slices of pizz from Slice 420 and it was everything I imagined it to be. Didnt eat anything else BM: 1 Smoothies: 0 Water: 1/68 oz
#7 Sunday 4/2/23	Notes: ok, deciding not to do Smart4Life, the gas is almost unbearable when you have the slightest amount of fat or sugar in your final meal so that has to go. Looking forward to week #5 BM: 1 Smoothies: 2 Water: 1/68 oz

#2 Tuesday 4/4/23	Notes: This man…smh. Dinner was great, my fish was a little dry but I didn’t remember to take the meats temp. Anyways I nibbled food all throughout the day and I STILL was able to lose weight! I was just curious to see if I messed up yesterday and I did not. Im in the next stone!!
