I'm in a strange floaty place today, this, the third day of my water fast and high intensity morning workout, so I'll just be giving the highlights.
My husband, @call-me-howie decided he was all done with the belly he'd built steadily over the last five years. Once upon a time he was a gym rat and 210 pounds of solid muscle, and even when he was no longer running to the weight room he still kept in shape. But ever since we came back to NY from our year of roughing it in the Ozark mountains of Missouri...well to be honest we got a little lazy and started enjoying food a little too much.
We tried curbing it, even went vegetarian for a few years, but sometime in the past year we lost sight of it all- and damn did we ever manage to pack on the pounds! So now begins the year of getting back in shape, the warrior's way.
For my part of it, the larger objective is to feel comfortable on the other side of the camera (and not grimace in the changing room at clothing stores), along with clarity of thought and feeling strong enough to hike up mountains again- for him, well he's nearing fifty years old and decided if he's going to keep living like he's in his twenties he better make sure his body is up to the task.
He began ten days before me, also starting with a three day water fast, and as of yesterday he took off 13 pounds- go freaking Howie! At this time next week I'll be able to report some results of my own, so stay tuned...I'm off to do my 'afternoon winter workout' aka playing expert level beat saber on the VR headset- it's like the wii only better:
One of these days I'll have Howie record me in action- that should be entertaining :)
Hope everyone is awesome, thanks for stopping by!

20-hour fasting?? That's crazy talk!!
Woohoo!! Way to go, sis! @randomli and I have started doing intermittent fasting as well at the start of the year. But, it's only an 8-hour fasting period. Maybe once we get your results in we'll follow suit!

Well I can tell you this, (hoping Deb doesn't pop back on here, she'll be concerned haha) I've already lost eight pounds, in less than a week :) Of course the first ten to fifteen is usually fairly easy, then it's a matter of getting that metabolism sped up- hopefully the warrior way is the fat burning diet it claims to be!

Fingers crossed you and Howie achieve your goals with it! Crash dieting is always a concern, so I fully understand where Deb's coming from. But, since there's two of you doing it together, there's a check-and-balance to make sure that no one goes overboard. Congrats on the eight pounds! More than I've lost in more than 6 months hahaha!

When I will need her is at the point when the weight I want off is off, the maintenance part I suppose it's called ;)
