2019 Fast 7.0 - Dry Fast Day #3

63 hours into the Dry Fast - 69.75 Kg
I lost another KG since yesterday and I hope I will continue this trend for the next couple of weeks. After all what are two weeks in the length of a lifespan? A drop in the ocean!
Today I feel ok, yesterday night I had to work till 2:00AM and the evening felt endless. I worked from 3:40 PM to 2:00 AM - 10.5 hours! It was a real struggle arriving till the end of the working night. I don't like anymore this job, it's too hard for me working three jobs, I should quit. For now I just asked for a week off and see if I can rest a bit more. The only good thing of this place is that I do not eat the staff meal ever there and I work and walk a lot. Just yesterday I did more 20K steps based on my phone tracking, but it wasn't a record anyway, I did 25,000 on a Friday working till 3:00 AM.
I didn't check my Ketosis yet but I'm sure it already started, I want to be strong now and keep on fasting until I can.
I had a couple of glass of water last night while working. The job is really demanding so I was getting dehydrated. But it was an isolated episode, I was good after drinking and I didn't feel the need to drink more. Dry Fasting is way easier than Water Fast.

2019 Fast 5.0 - Dry Fast Day #4

83 hours into the Dry Fast - 70.45 Kg
Another day passed and I'm now into Day #4 of my Soft Dry Fast, still under 100 hours but my Ketones level was pretty good this morning showing a dark ketostix with 80mg/dL. Energy wise I'm still good and the thirst is bearable, my mouth feels nasty though and the lack of sleep is extremely annoying. I wish I had at least 5/6 days into the Fast to be sleepless. I'm losing weight pretty quickly, I was surprised this morning to see more than 1Kg of weight loss. I still didn't have the chance to do an enema, but just because I'm lazy, not that I wouldn't need one! I have lots of weight to lose and I still don't know how to keep on going with this fast, after I reach my breaking point and need to rehydrate. I was thinking on just sipping on water after 10 days or so and try to keep on going with the Dry Fast. I wish I knew I could do this Dry Fast as long as 10 days or 14 days, that would be great, I will certainly see some good results for my weight loss. Next week my parents are coming back and I hope I will not be tempted to eat or drink - as usually happens with them. I'm avoiding calling them so I don't get nervous or anxious and find mental escape with food. When I have things to do at work, my days go faster and I don't mind at all the Dry Fast, after all I'm too busy to think about it. My mental clarity is getting better, not fully there yet but I hope I can see more benefits in the next few days of the fast. This morning I felt my arms a bit weak, while I was brushing my hair, just few seconds though, plus I always feel a bit weaker in the mornings, my blood pressure is low, but during the day I feel much better and full of energy.

2019 Fast 4.0 - Dry Fast Day #4

83 hours into the Dry Fast 
My sleep is already being affected by the Dry Fast, last night I couldn't sleep much; I woke up at 1:30 AM and that was it. I hate when I cannot sleep at night. My mouth is becoming very dry, I don't like it. I thought it will happen around Day 6/7, not now. I have a bit of lower back pain today, and my neck issues are still not gone. I'm thinking I should call the physiotherapist to see what's going on with my neck; I was hoping it will resolve by itself, but it didn't.
This evening I have to work at the banquet hall for a wedding reception, I'm actually glad I will move a bit and consume some ketones & calories in the process. Sitting always in this chair is so detrimental for my health.
Honestly, I can't wait for my parents to leave my apartment. Not that I don't want them with me, but I'm conditioning my life. I don't have weekends for myself to just stay in bed all day, or do nothing. My condo is so messy, I can't find anything in my closets, things are all over the places and I cannot stand looking at those suit-cases on the floor anymore. I'm missing the gym since they came, I kind of put on-hold my life for them. I feel I cannot focus clearly on my weight loss goals, on my food choices. My fridge is full of food that otherwise I would never buy for myself.
I'm leaving with them on April the 8th, I didn't want to go but felt forced to do it. I would rather go to Cuba for a week than there, and spend definitely less money. Oh well, I'm almost done with this so I should try to stay positive and look forward to the end of April for my personal goals...and the freedom of my own apartment!
