180 was like hitting a brick wall.  180 is my 150.  I achieved all I can do.  That's scary to think my best performance lost me the race.  I can adapt by streaking into the LEAD of something I didn’t sign up for.  I'm not signed up to fail, but reality requires I die at some point.  If reality is ambitious, I'll die sooner than I'm ready to let go.  I didn't sign up to fail, and I didn't sign-up to win.  Spectators concede to athletes with their blue-collar time, energy, and money.  I'm no athlete, and sports doesn't impress me.  I'm an umpire.  I'm optimism riding mother nature.  Mother nature gives you what God wants: good grief.  

Eating is "GOOD GRIEF."  Eating is a celebration of one less day on earth.  If good grief is defined by fast lives...you love to celebrate predictable failures with vices.  Indulge in the death I so accept with good grief.  I eat because I didn’t sign-up to fail.  Stop feeling like a loser.  Get up.  Go for a walk, get away from food while you burn calories.  Be grateful when we overcome, and don’t anticipate WITH good grief when we fail again.  The inevitable is a wave that arrives on shore.  Follow God’s tide with good grief, indulge within forgiveness.

75% of your hunger has nothing to do with nourishment.  Hunger is a pig with a bottomless stomach.  Hunger wants constant submission.  Food is not entertainment.  Splurg once you hit a plateau.  Regroup with just coffee, tea and water until you break through the barrier.  Stabalize with your food.  I just want my face to be more defined.  I want my cheakbones to shine.  When I hit that target, I'll just increase the calories.  But fasting is a way of life.  It's my testimony.  That's what 'Road to 150' is, a fasting testimony.  Do your own research.  I'm not a doctor.  

So after my cheat day, I had nothing but coffee, tea and water for two and a half days losing 2lbs a day.  I would have easily done 5 days but my foot started to swell.  I couldn't stand on it at all.  I feared this was related to my fasting so I stopped the starvation and ate something.  My foot swelling and pain persisted for 3 days and nights.  I finally went to emergency.  Turns out because most of the walking I've done has either been in sandles or walking barefoot in my kitchen that impact is responsible for my foot.

I was prescribed an anti-inflamatory and pain meds.  My foot is 95% better and I've started walking again.  Getting past 184 is a big deal for me because it represented my latest plateau.  The next big goal is 176lbs.  A couple years ago during my last successful fast, the lightest I acheived was 177lbs.  I'm getting pretty skinny but I'm not happy with what I see.  I'm sticking to my routine because it works.  I am going to the doctor today to schedule a full body checkup to see if everything is ok.  Stay tuned.

Do not deviate and you will lose up to 1lb a day.

HINT:  At the beginning, weigh yourself every morning when you wake up.  Tweak your routine until you start losing 1lb a day.  Then you only weigh yourself once a week.  This will go a long way in preventing the daily pressure of losing weight.  After a week, you'll lose weight and you won't be dwelling on the days you fluctuate in wieght.

Cheat days are inevitable.  Don't spiral.  No more than 2lbs gain.  Stop yourself any way you can.  Sometimes its good to reset your system, but other times it knocks you off your horse.  Don't panic, don't give up.  Stick to the routine for a week and weigh yourself at the end of the week.  If you make ANY progress, that's a huge win.  If you make no progress, that fuckin sucks.  Don't give up, exercise more.  Add an extra walk in your day.  Do new routine for a week and then weigh yourself.

​Add more walking until you break through.
