Total Lean 7 Day Fast Loss: Day 4

You know, I could get used to this two shakes a day routine. It cuts a lot of the guesswork out of my daily diet, and though it’s not as exciting as what I’m used to eating, it’s a lot less of a gamble. I’ve been realizing just what a pig I am on a daily basis, even when I think I’m being pretty healthy. I’m constantly snacking, and eat way too many fried foods and salty nibble foods. Yesterday I snacked quite a bit, too (I think the term “comfort food” might have been coined for my benefit), but managed to have a little self restraint. As a result, today I’m 157.6 lbs, down a pound from yesterday and 6.4 lbs down total from Wednesday.

I’m still sick, and it’s really cold in our apartment for some reason, so I’m bundled up on the couch, getting ready to tuck into some homework. I plan to make a big salad and a bowl of soup for dinner, which should be lovely, and hope for another pound down tomorrow. Three days left, and 4.6 lbs to go. I think it could happen.

Hello,

I’m Nova

I have no “personal brand.” I’m not a girl boss, I’m not an influencer, and I don’t aspire to be powerful, inspiring, or rich. I probably can’t teach you anything, and there’s a good chance that there’s nothing at all of interest or use to you here. This is just where I come to talk about the random bits and pieces that make up my quiet life as a sober woman in her 40s. I’m engaged to the love of my life, have six (yes, SIX) indoor pets, and spend a lot of time gardening and hunting for thrift treasures. I also study classical voice (I’m a lyric coloratura soprano) and am deeply interested in all things spiritual and paranormal. Right now I’m trying to recover from career burnout and even out my personal energy, but my eventual goal is to become a medium and shamanic healer, using music to remind humans of the things that actually matter: connection, community, and loving all living things as though they were our own children. I may or may not talk about all of these things here (and sometimes all at once). Welcome!
