Wow. I was not wrong! Wednesday proved to be SO much more difficult than Monday. It was like everything (*cough* Satan *cough*) was conspiring against me! I bore with hunger and a low-grade headache all day, plus a case of the grumpies. (Sorry, husband!) Then my beloved husband (maybe I'm less sorry 😂) wanted snacks with TV time. ALL the snacks! And guess who's the dutiful wife who fixes all those yummy snacks and sits beside him starving while he's eating them!!! Well, my own fault. I could have had bread. But I was terrified that if I put anything in my mouth, it would ruin everything. And my fasting bread was still frozen, so all I had access to was grocery store bread, which I worried would definitely make me hungrier. 😟 And then, to cap it off, my teenage son, who had endured an awful day at school, and heroically (for him) not punched anyone, requested a batch of late-night chocolate chip cookies. I dove into those cookies at 12:03. Not exactly proud of that, but hey, I made it. Felt like a woman hanging onto the side of a cliff by her fingernails the last little bit, and my ADF commitment was shot, but I made it to midnight. 😂 Not that I even know where to find those other ADF people. Oops. Someone really needs to comment on that post so I can find it again.

| Fasting bread, out and ready for the day |
I have my bread out of the freezer today, just in case, but so far, it seems to be going better. Doesn't hurt that my cycle started Wednesday night, so a fair bit of my struggle can probably be attributed to end-cycle hormone issues. I tend to have low progesterone, which brings on a little bit of PMS. 😒
Today, I've agreed to keep the grandbaby overnight, so it should be a fun day. Jacob is already excited, and helped me set up the playpen, contributing one of his own blankets to make it soft and cozy. 😊💕 Ham and beans are in the crock pot, to serve as dinner for those of us who will be eating (i.e., everyone but the cook 😂), and there's plenty of housework to keep me busy, so hopefully I won't be too tempted by food.
