Today is my 21st
day of my Water Fast experience,
so far is going well, I've been a bit weak
and with no much energy in the past couple of days, but overall I managed to do
everything I had planned, Friday afternoon I even went to the movie theatre by myself, which is a great achievement
for me and my mood challenges, and
also I can say that not having my usual M&M's during the movie was not that
bad at the end, I sipped on my water
and I was fine.
This morning my ketosis
was still in large traces, which is
great since I want to lose a bit more weight before the end of my fast,
planning on being around 53 Kg, but I'm not sure I can achieve
this goal before real hunger comes; I've lost quite a bit so
far, all my clothes are fitting me large, but I'm not complaining; I feel I
have a new whole wardrobe now that I
can choose from; till few weeks ago nothing was fitting me and I was frustrated every single morning. I hope after the end of this
fast my weight doesn't come all back, I know some will but I have to do my best
to maintain a healthy Diet, possibly
raw vegan diet.
This afternoon I planned to go to a grocery store to buy coconut water, I never had it before
and really I hate coconut but for
the re-feeding it might be a good
choice, I saw some YouTube videos of people breaking the fast with it, let's see… I'm still not sold for it.
During this past weekend I had some breakouts which I believe were part of my skin detox, strangely they were gone in a day, which usually
doesn't happen that fast, I'm really looking forward on seeing my skin cleared out thanks to this water fast, one of the priceless benefits for me. Another odd
thing that is happening to my skin during this fast is the hydration; usually during my past diets, every time I was
eliminating fats, my skin was getting so dry,
I had to constantly put on creams, which was also in contradiction with the diet – since I was supposed to refrain to
use anything had oil or any type of fat. This time around I really don't need
it, my skin is good is not breaking as usual so I'm not using anything unless I
really think is needed a little help.
Watching one YouTube video the other day made me realized
that really I'm not drinking much
water maybe, most of the people suggested drinking roughly 4L of water daily, sipping and never
drinking too much in once, but even sipping here and there I cannot
manage to have more than 2L so far, I
would rather drink the whole bottle than sipping,
I just cannot remember to drink!
One good thing that is improved during these past days has
been the number of times I wake up at night to go to the washroom; I heard that this thing would happen eventually but I
never believed it, well it's actually true
and I'm basically not waking up anymore, actually last night I think I had
a full night sleep, the first time since days now. I have to say my sleep is improving with the days, at
some point I really had hard time sleeping, often I would wake up, and just
didn't feel sleeping but always forced
myself to rest and stay in bed. Lately I have increased the amount of hours that I'm in deep sleep
and I believe now is much better and I can manage to stay in bed as any normal
person without feeling like a night owl.
