Day 2
Noticing a bit of achy pain in my right shoulder. I’ve been taking hits of Himalayan pink salt and drinking Yogi fasting tea along with water. Been peeing a lot. Pretty typical, actually.
Closing in on Day 2
It’s almost 4pm, the end of day 1. Blood sugar is 110 (3:45p). I weighed 461 this morning – down a pound from yesterday morning. I ate a bunch of junk prior to that, so I expected to have inflammation and such, so being down a pound was good news. I expect a bigger drop […]
snarfing sprint to the next fast
Yeah, another banner day (week?) of pre-fast binging. Weighed about 462 this morning, so up 22 pounds from the end of the last fast. And I undoubtedly spotted myself a couple more pounds prior to starting the watch on this fast, at 4pm. For the record: two Monster Ultra energy drinks, a 32-ounce Mountain Dew, […]
easy to undo progress
my fast ended when I was less than half a pound from the 430s. It took about 4 days to go back over 450. This morning, I was right at 460. The weekend eating with family was okay, but not great. Barbecue and an ice cream cone on Saturday, meat/potatoes/homemade rolls and lemonade on Sunday, […]
My innards are revolting
Day 2 of really, really unhappy bowels. The crap I bought last week and ate the last few days is still working its way out, though the flow rate is slowing. Thank goodness. Sugar is the devil. Artificial sugars are the devil. Sugar alcohol is the devil. My butt is a hellmouth. Help me.
stop feeding the beast
so in three days I’ve added on 16 pounds. nearly all a combination of unpooped food and inflammation. Nine of those pounds came on yesterday, and who knows what today’s going to add. I have a dangerous habit of ordering food online. whether epic bars, quest bars, or a dozen Amish whoopie pies (which arrived […]
the day after
didn’t sleep great. woke to 444 pounds, and around 108bg. Kept fasting from last night until around 2p, when I had the bacon I brought. then I started snacking on the crap in my cabinet. Not the best move. At least I’ve been sticking to relatively healthy things.
Fast ended
I ended around 7:30, at the end of day 7. Could I have gone longer? Probably. Should i? definitely. I did not end well. A shipment of quest bars and epic bars arrived from amazon. I held off for a few hours, but in the end I rationalized my way into the boxes. I’ve eaten […]
Fast, Day 7*
Adding the asterisk because, at the end of day 5, I was feeling nauseous and light headed, so I broke the fast with some macadamia nuts. Then I ate the whole bag of macadamia nuts. Then added 4 strips of bacon, an Epic lamb bar, four parmesan crisps, and some 5% fat yogurt. And a […]
Friday evening update (end of day 4)
Had a real temptation earlier. Someone put large chewy chocolate chip oatmeal cookies on the break room table. They also left a tray of gulab jamon, a kind of meatball-sized tasty India honey donut of some sort. I came close. In the end, I grabbed hot water for fasting tea, a bottle of cold water, […]
