Fast - Day 01 (New Year's Day)

  It all started at midnight.  While others were having snacks and sugary drinks to toast the new year (non-alcoholic because we were at work), I refrained.  What was I thinking starting a 'fast' on a holiday?  The spread for New Year's rivaled Thanksgiving, only with snacks and junk food! 
  I weighed-in at 241lbs (ouch!).  I wonder where I'm keeping it.  I failed to pack anything to eat for after midnight at work.  Big mistake.  After a few bottles of water I was looking for sugar-free gum, found some, and chewed it for a good four hours.  Now I'm realizing that it had sweetener in it.  Not only did I fail to bring food I was 'allowed' to eat, I ended up working 3 hours later than scheduled.  When I got home I had cereal with almond milk and went to bed for a few hours.
  To make things interesting - I'll let you know I'm also switching from an overnight schedule to a days.  This will make it easier to avoid cheating and being very hungry at night!  After a little sleep, I woke up for supper (peppers and Spanish rice) and instead of TV, read to the kids for over an hour and played a game they got for Christmas. 
  Unfortunately after the kids bedtime we settled in for some TV time.  It was nice and relaxing, but not what we had planned to avoid.  I foresee TV being a problem for us, but we won't be watching during the kids awake hours unless we agree to have a family movie.
  Hopefully I'll be able to sleep tonight.  I plan on staying in bed and catching up on some reading if I can't sleep (the further I can stay away from the kitchen...).
