– Water Fast Day #16
10:30
AM
It’s been a bit more than 2 weeks now into
this Fast and so far I’m ok I guess. This morning for the first time I felt
very weak with my arms, contrary on how I’ve been feeling in the past days; I
had lots of energy and I feel very positive. I’m managing to go to the
gym/swimming pool 3 times a week; it’s been nice so far and not heavy on my
muscles for sure. Strangely my period came back, just after 2 weeks or so, it
never happened before, but I’m not worried – I’m sure this fast is messing up a
bit my hormones so I guess is normal. Because of TOM I’m not going to the pool
this afternoon but instead I’ll go to the gym to do some exercise on the
machines, I don’t want to miss it anyway, it’s good to have a routine.
My tongue is still heavily coated, it makes
my mouth feeling awful; this is one thing that I really hate of a fast; it
makes everything harder, it gives me this constant feeling that I’m thirsty or
something, which is not true; but there’s no relief for that, I tried many
thing…the coating will always be there as long as I fast.
My weight loss is still slow but I noticed
bigger losses when I go to the gym and I’m more active during the day; that’s
another reason why I want to keep on going – until I have energy to do it,
since I assume I’ll be weaker in the following weeks. But again, every fast is
different from another, so I might not experience the same weakness as before.
I’m also taking some vitamins here and there, trying not to take too many since
they upset my stomach. I’m also drinking black decaf coffee, and I assume there
is a small percentage of caffeine in it, so maybe it is helping me somehow with
my energy – total assumptions though. I did notice though that the decaf coffee
does not upset my stomach as the lemon water does, maybe the lemon acidity is
bad while fasting?

Water Fast - Day #13
Tuesday
– 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.
