– Water Fast Day #13
10:00
AM
Today begins my 13th day of this
Fast; I would say every fast is different from another, in the way I feel, the
way I lose weight and also the way I drink. So far I feel very good, the high feeling of the Ketosis is fully in
and I feel very energetic. I’m going to the swimming pool every other day and I
hope I keep on doing it, it’s a very light exercise but helps me a lot with the
mood and how I feel in general. This morning I did the terrible mistake of
taking some vitamins all together, I was almost throwing up after 10 minutes. I
will never do it again, that’s it, when fasting I cannot take any supplement; I
just hope my lack of electrolytes will not force me to stop the fast further
during the next weeks.
One new thing for this fast is that I’m
drinking instant decaf coffee with a couple of drops of stevia; it is not
affecting my Ketosis – which is still constant at 80mg/dL – and I would say
even the weight loss is not hugely impacted; unless I Dry Fast I never see
large losses on a daily basis anyway.
Yesterday I was trying to do some estimation,
in terms of time, on how long I should fast to reach my weight goal; well the “estimation” was definitely depressing,
it might take 60 days or more! I’m just concerned that I would be in the middle
of my refeeding process for my January vacation South; I would like to avoid it
though, since I will want to enjoy my trip without thinking on how my asleep stomach feels – ok, mostly because refeeding means that I need a
bathroom trip every time I eat or drink something. Well I guess the weeks will
tell how long this Fast will need to last.
The weight loss is very slow, some days I
lose just 200gr, some others a bit more; but as long as I am in Ketosis I guess
I’m ok. I don’t really care what the scale says, because I can see it in the
mirror how I look, how my clothes fits; it doesn’t fit anything yet so I’m not
losing much; but it’s been only 12/13 days so I’m not complaining.
My tongue is heavily coated, and my mouth
has the usual bad taste; if I drink coffee it tends to go darker of course, but
I can still feel the tick coating; I hope it will get better with the days.
Another thing I noticed this time around is
that my period started and took so long before it ended; somehow when I fast
the hormones get messed up and I guess my period too; but I think it’s also a
chance of cleaning so it’s not a negative thing after all.
Yesterday was a busy day for me, I had to do
lots of errands so I walked a lot around during lunch time, plus I went to the
gym for half hour in the pool and 10 minutes in the sauna. Moving and
exercising helps me a lot with my weight loss, and till I have such a great
energy I should take advantage of it and try to be as much active as I can,
because as soon as I stop and lye on the bed to “rest”, I will not find again
the same energy.
