Hey....

To those of you keeping track, 73 hours in, I had a break down. Well, I don't know what it was, emotions or stress or what. I felt like my heart was hurting. Not really chest pains, but an achy-ness. So, I worried myself into eating a small meal. Baked chicken, and tomatoes. The pain didn't subside for a while, but it is gone now. I guess it lasted 6 hours, at the longest. And of course, my doctor was not on call and I was advised to go to the ER if I was really worried. So, instead, I ate something.

So, to anyone who has worried, maybe yall are right to be worried. And to Joe, your words of caution were ringing in my ears and I think that is part of the reason I panicked. I am trying to decide whether or not to be disappointed.

Now, I am rethinking this thing...of course I have broken my fast. Although, my desire to lose weight and get healthy is still strong. My only thoughts on how to do this is to cut my calories as I had been the past two weeks before my fast. I know exercising is also helpful, but I am a single mom. The only exercise I can afford is taking walks....can walking and eating right help me lose weight?

So, maybe this blog will turn into my diet diary :) Not too exciting, but it will keep me motivated. I am going to sleep on it and update tomorrow afternoon.
