Day 6

 Today is the first day I did not sleep in and remained awake all day. I have some mild muscle soreness and just feel more “tight” in my core. I still have love handles and a big belly, but my internal organs feel more together? 

I ordered a bunch of bottles of sparkling mineral water and lime juice. That was my beverage of choice today to remain hydrated.

I’m at a point now where I don’t think I could break my fast if I want to…because I really do not want food. I’m really concerned now about my fast being “complete”. And wondering when my body will give me the signal to have food again. Any sooner than that will feel like a betrayal. Bc I won’t even be able to enjoy it. I’d also be stopping the very serious work my body is doing right now. 

I’m cleaning house. Old fat cells are finally getting used. I’m clearing out those cupboards and I don’t want to leave anything behind. 

Metabolizing fat more effectively will give me juice I need to work out. And add another wonderful thing to my schedule and further deepen my autophagy.

Speaking of that. I stink. Which is usual for me when I fast. So, more frequent showers for now.

I’m excited for a new day tomorrow. I’m hoping I will sleep through the night. 

On a more practical note:

My fat rolls are decreasing in size and my joints no longer hurt.

Day 1 : A Day of One Thousand Hours

 I decided to start my six week fast one day early. I had gorged myself on so much food the last few weeks that I was craving for a break from it. I gave up all sense of control and opted to eat strictly for pleasure, I went where my whims took me because I knew this fast was coming, and with it, a great change. I will likely detail that at some point in the future. For now I will get to the wonderful perspective that has come with completing my first day -- two days before thanksgiving.      This first day was relatively easy . Instead of food I had tea. I wasn't bored. My day largely went the same as most days do. The only difference was the mild discomfort of the beginnings of withdrawl from all the food I was having; a mild headache-- if I can even call it that. But right around my 3 rd episode of Blue Bloods at 8pm, my brain began toying with the idea of finishing the peanut stew, plantain and pounded yam I purchased the night before. The smell of the plantains,...

Day 4 & 5

 Day 4 was a blur. A mild headache all day and no energy at all. I only remember being in bed all day. And I’m not sure if I’m even remembering that correctly. Day 5 I got sick of laying down and went to get a hydration IV drip for 219$ at Restore. I felt like a million bucks. Immediately went to go on a walk with my friend to take advantage of my energy and the weather.  First leg was fine. I got tired after stopping halfway to get tea and seltzer. But I made it back, with many many breaks on the way home. Still not hungry. Feeling my core tighten and my love handles smoothing out.  I hope i can enjoy tomorrow.
