All Journeys Start the Same
I’ve been scraping the bottom of 480 again, still in the 470s. Been here a while. Too much vending machine food last week and yesterday. Saturday wasn’t bad, but for most of a pint of gelato; Sunday was much better. I have the car most of this week. I went to bed early-ish (around midnight) […]
I had two really good weeks. And have been struggling ever since. Up to 479 again. swollen like a grapefruit. Feeling miserable. I fasted until around 6p today, then went nuts at the vending machine. sigh.
The fast last week went better than I expected. The feasting, less well. I felt pretty good about Friday’s eating. The first meal Saturday was our biergarten usual of sausage, sauerkraut, Brussels sprouts, and a roasted cauliflower with capers and onions. I stuck to water all weekend, which I’m happy about. But my nephew stopped […]
I’m in the home stretch. I’m close to the 120 hour mark, but I’m well past the point I expected to break the 5-day fast. I had some macadamia nuts to help prime the gut. I have eggs and butter ready to go. Yes, the vending machine is calling out to me, and I’ve had […]
I’m still water fasting. I’m on track to end tomorrow, and eat from Friday to Sunday. The Fast 5, Feast 2 approach served me well last week, and it’s worked even better this week with the full water fast. The scale made me smile this morning: 449.4 lbs. I’m down thirty pounds from two Saturdays […]
Water fasting with Celtic salt: three days down. 48 hours to go. Pleased with the way I feel overall. The colon cleansing hasn’t been my favorite, but hey – clear that crap out. Blood sugars hit a low for this fast, at 82, at the 72 hour mark. Tomorrow’s a test; we’re supposed to taste […]
I was listening to a podcast about Windows, when two of the hosts mentioned they’re on the Fung Fu train, doing keto and intermittent fasting. Several of my podcasts’ hosts are into it, but this was a surprise. Also a blogger I’ve followed for years is following the Obesity Code protocol. Maybe it’s synchronicity, but […]
Tuesday went well. Aside from Fasting Tea and my medications, it was all water and salt. I’m not feeling cold extremities; I slept hot last night. Compared to my first water fast, when I was very cold, I feel pretty normal. Not quite overheating, but not cold. My blood sugars have been right around 100, […]
So far so good on this week’s fast. If the goal is, as it is this week, 5 days, that’s 120 hours. Knowing when you want to stop means you can count down, which psychologically may help the motivation. Instead of “wow, I’ve made 48 hours!” you think “only 72 hours to go.” Endurance is […]
So far so good. Just water and salt. Feeling pretty good, though walking is fatiguing. But 450+ pounds, walking is going to wear you out under the best of circumstances. I’m walking easier than this time last week; i did a bunch of stretching over the weekend so my left knee is less stiff so […]
