Monday
– Water Fast Day #19
9:30 AM
My Fast is proceeding well, it seems very
slow but days are passing by and my weight is going down, helping me feeling
better and fitting in some of my clothes without breaking any zip!
This past weekend I was working, but my
part-time job does not require any strenuous activity, so I was mostly sitting
on the couch watching TV. This morning my Ketosis was less than usual, at 40mg/dL;
it’s been stable at 80mg/dL since I started the Fast, I’m not sure why, I still
have plenty of fat on me to burn. I want to check it tomorrow – since this
afternoon I’ll be going to the gym for my usual swimming workout; but overall I
think I’ll be more active today.
So far I feel ok, for the first time, since
I started this Fast, this past weekend I felt a bit weak and tired, not sure if
it could be that I wasn’t being very active. For me, if I don’t get moving
during a fast, I tend to become weak and without desire of doing anything. But
at the end, I completed everything I was supposed to do, without major issues. I
must to say though, that the night before I didn’t have much sleep so it could
be that too; last night in fact I slept without waking up once, which is
uncommon for me when I fast.
This morning I had a big decaf coffee and
now my tummy hurts; I went already once to the bathroom, and whatever BM I had
was mostly coffee I think. I should not drink coffee so quickly, especially in
the morning, my stomach is very sensitive. I still have my period, this thing
is very odd for me that I usually miss my period for months, who knows what’s
happening with my hormones?!
My tongue is still coated, it gives me the
usual terrible taste, it makes me feel thirsty when I’m not, but I’m learning
to live with it, there’s nothing I can do about it anyway.
I’m losing an average of 200gr per day,
which is very little I know; it seems my body is getting used to fasting an d
it holds on my fat longer than previous fasts, well at least that’s how I feel
but I might be wrong; every fast is different after all.
I hope I can be done by mid of December,
although is not looking good as a date – since I still have at least 20 pounds
to lose and they will not be gone overnight; I also believe I will be losing less
and less going forward so there’s that too. Well let’s see I’ll figure out with
the weeks, hopefully not too many weeks!
