Day one:
I started twentyone days of water fasting yesterday at ten pm and it is going well. I have done many 3-7 days fasts but this time I would like to challenge myself even more.
I like to think one day at the time instead of twenty-one days or else I will get overwhelmed. I was out on a run earlier today (3,5km) and it was as good as usual. I can feel an upcoming headache which is a result of me eating more carbs than usual, but I am getting through this.
After my run, I was in a sauna for thirty minutes and since then (two pm) I have been doing some homework for the next week of school.
Something I really have to focus on this time is:
- You can eat whenever you want, but why now?
- Food is fuel (you have a lot of fuel on your body)
- Take one day at the time.
- Do not let food take control of you, stop your addiction
- Keep going until bedtime and you will be good the morning after.
Day two:
It is currently five pm and I am 43 hrs into this fast and it is still going well. I ran the same route today as yesterday and also took a long walk. I have been drinking water with Himalayan sea salt. I still have a little headache, but I reckon that it will get better soon. I know it is not always the best do work out while fasting but I recently started running and I really like it so I will keep doing it unless my body says no. I will go back to school tomorrow and I think it will make fasting easier because I usually do not eat in class or school in general, so it will make my mind busy.
I think a lot about food, but I think it is because of my family who are eating and the smell of the food is tempting. But I will not even think about breaking the fast due to temptation because that will just tempt me even more. Tonight my family will have my favorite food for dinner, but I have all my life to eat that again, so why would I break my fast to eat it now? I won’t.
