I can't eat for how long???!!

So yesterday was my first foray into the world of Intermittent Fasting (IF).  I am trying to loose weight that has somehow appeared onto my body over the past 15 years out of nowhere!!  Well, maybe not out of nowhere - 2 babies, less activity, and a deeper love of cooking and baking!  I have done pretty well since Christmas losing about 25 pounds so far.  Unfortunately I have hit a sort of plateau recently and my husband suggested that I participate in a 24 hour fast that he and some friends were doing.  I thought it sounded crazy and impossible - I mean how do you go without eating all day I have never done that before!  I was hesitant to say the least and decided to just wait and see how it goes.  I ate dinner with the family on Tuesday and then went to bed at the normal time.  In the morning I had my coffee and started to see how long I could go.  I did pack a lunch and had it at work with me, but before I knew it it was three o'clock and I still hadn't eaten!!  I had some ice tea and water during the day and just kept going.  I was actually surprised by the  fact that I made it and it wasn't that bad.  Nothing blew up in the lab and everyone is still talking to me so apparently I was not a raging loon and I didn't black out!  Now I am hopefull that this will jump start my body into losing some more weight and gear me up for the next time!  Oh yes, there will be a next time!
