![]() ![]() But then I’ve been reading from a website called Fitness Through Fasting and am wondering if I might need to extend my fast to 30 to 40 days. It’s 4:36 and I’m starting my 5 th day, my daughter just congratulated me on making it half way through, it didn’t hit me that this was my ½ point until she said something. I’m grumpier than I should be, they are troupers.ĭecember 5 th ~ Day 4~ 134/96 ~ weight loss 7.6 lbs I have great support from my husband and children. I came home from work and started some bread for a Relief Society meeting I’m going to at 6:30, I think I’ll take a cat nap while the dough is rising.Ĭurious…Do I need to floss when I’m not eating? I didn’t sleep very well again last night, I’m exhausted now though. ![]() My cold seems to be diminishing, I was hoping that would happen faster, but I think it is on its way out. I think if I start talking to my friends at work I’ll let it slip, I want to wait until next week. I came home for lunch today and did some sun salutations and hung out for a bit. One more week, it seems so far and yet so near. I’m excited to prove to myself that I can do it for 10 days, so on on into my 3 rd day now, the first 50 hours down!ĭecember 4 th (mom’s birthday) ~day 3~ 148/98 ~ weight loss 7 lbs I feel very positive about this fast I know it will click my body back into sync. I try to sip all day to keep my breath from getting icky, working face to face with children I would hate to have bad breath! I won’t do mints, gum, or even a Calms to help me sleep, just water, I don’t want to mess up any progress I’ve made. The information I found suggested 2 quarts of water a day. I put down close to 3 quarts, I wonder if one can drink too much on a liquid fast. I went to the store and bought some distilled water, Bill said it grabs onto impurities in the body better. I do pee more – lots more! I just hope the liquid is grabbing toxins to take out with it. ![]() I started my period on the day I started my fast, I don’t think I’m experiencing any difficulties due to that. I do wonder if ketosis (using my fat for energy) has kicked in early, I’d be cool with that. Nothing else about her journey has applied to me, I’m not ravenously hungry or anything. I didn’t sleep well, but I think I may have psyched myself out by reading somebody else’s journal of her 10 day fast and how she couldn’t sleep. Last night I went to bed around 7:00, and may again tonight. At work I kept things low key trying to conserve energy, but I was able to do my job without any problems. It’s 4:30 pm and I just returned from a practice of the winter concert our school is doing. But I haven’t felt really hungry or fatigued. My stomach growled around 11:00, the normal time it would growl for lunch even if I had breakfast. This fast has also not left the family, I don’t want others knowing I’m doing it…not until I reach day 7 or eight and prove that a person can live more than a day without food. I didn’t feel right about taking medication yet, not when I had not tried everything yet. I was taking a low does Bp med for three days before I started my fast, so I’m wondering if it had kicked in for day 1’s reading. Anyway day 1 down…9 to go!ĭecember 3 rd ~ Day 2 ~ 150/102 ~ weight loss 4.5 lbs There’s also a Christmas devotional tonight I would like to watch, so I may grab a catnap. I want to go crawl in bed, but David is on his way up. ![]() But when I fast on those Sundays I don’t take in any food or drink, so when I broke the fast with a glass of water it was heavenly! I do have a little bit of a head ache, but that could also be due to the wild 2 hours in nursery with 12 little ones, or the Munice city Christmas concert I just sat through (it was good, just lots of people and noise). It was kind of a cheat day to start because I fast on the first Sunday of every month anyway as part of my religion. I started my 10 day water fast on December 1 st 3:00pm. I should say that it is suggested this be done under a Dr.s supervision…but I don’t roll that way:-) I have some web sites here for those who would like to do research, and there is even one with negatives for a balanced perspective. According to other journals I’ve read, I had it pretty easy on my fast, I’m not posting this to encourage people to necessarily do a water fast, but to look at the option at least And reading other people’s journals helped me, so maybe I can help others who are fasting as well. wants to put me on a script and I feel too young and I wanted to exhaust every avenue first. I did this water fast to lower my blood pressure, not as weight loss, I don’t think I could have done it just for weight loss. This is my before and after picture, I didn’t really take a before, and that’s a lousy picture of me, but it’s all I had. ![]()
