2nd Annual “March Madness” Fasting Challenge
6 Likes
Over halfway through Day 5 and praying I stay strong through the hunger pangs and mind games. For whatever reason, I seem to experience hunger while fasting, even during my longest ones (3 weeks). It’s not as intense the days after 1-2, but my stomach still growls and my mind tries to come up with excuses to eat. I tell myself “just make it through today and reevaluate tomorrow”, and each day that seems to help me get through. This community is amazing and so helpful too!

Day 5 guys! I’m feeling weak with a headache.
I’ve been taking my supplements and electrolytes but it’s probably just one of those days i have to endure and push through. Wish me luck today,
It’s a little rough especially being a home health nurse taking care of elderly, i always need to be on my A game.

Day 5 and I feel really cold. I woke up early because my body was so cold. I got a couple blankets and I’m fine. No symptoms whatsoever. The longest I fastest was 12 days. I didn’t start feeling weak until day 11 and ended my fast on day 12 because I fainted. Hopefully, that doesn’t happen this time as I am more prepared! I slept really well until I woke up cold. I was going to weigh myself on day 7, but as I’m on my cycle my weight is probably higher than it actually is so I will wait until a few days after it ends to weigh myself and take progress pictures. We all got this guys!

Day 5…unfortunate turn of events…last night I injured my left foot. I have no idea how I was just walking to the kitchen to get some water before going to sleep and the heel suddenly started hurting really bad. I went to bed and this morning I woke up and I’m limping around the house because of how much pain I am in if I put pressure on the heel of the foot. It also hurts even when I’m laying down and resting the foot in a pillow.
If anyone knows what I can do to help with the swelling? I’m wearing one of those pressure foot wraps. I already tried ice but it seemed to make the pain worse(?).

Day 5 and I am dragging-a##!!
Yesterday, I did a VERY gentle strength training session and I am surely feeling it today! Lesson learned. Stick with mild aerobic exercise like strolling through the street with my ketosis buzz. Much more enjoyable that those humiliating squats anyway. My main struggle today is soreness and fatigue. Otherwise, I feel good and I’m not hungry! I think a hot Epsom salts bath and a meditation are in order!
Good to see so many kicking day 5’s butt!!
Rock on you guys!

Thanks for the updates everybody!! Day 5 for me too and I’m finally to the point of starting not to care or think about food. 
I am excited because I’m getting to my favorite part of fasting: where your skin clears up, you get all your energy back and you never have to poop again until the end. 
BRING ON THE REST OF MARCH!!!

Here’s to the weekend!!
Wow wow wow we are actually going to fast throughout the weekend!
Why???
Because we CAN!!
Think of all those health benefits! Think of how much easier this fasting is getting! How much better your clothes have started fitting! How much better we will be looking in the summer of 2021! Think of the freedom you will get when you make it through this weekend!
I’m at 250 hours right now. Still laying in bed (5am here where I live) and I can almost feel how my body is munching away on all those fat storages I have accumulated over the past 30 some years.
This weekend, at some point, it will actually have feasted so much these past 250 hours, that I wil FINALLY, for the first time in 20 years (!!!) see a number on the scare that does not start with 1. (Bye bye 100 kilos, hello two digits!)
All thanks to only 250 hours of determination, discipline and postponing food.
So I am here to tell you, that it all is possible! Hunger pangs suck, but you will get SO much in return!
So do what you need to do, and fast on this weekend! 
Have a great one you all!

I have a few more hours left into Day 5! Today wasn’t bad at all. My only problem was my breath but I just kept using mouth wash (I have braces so there’s nothing stuck in them because I’m not eating but I still brush 4 times a day). I don’t even feel tempted to eat. My coworkers have noticed I’m not eating or drinking my regular items and have commented but I just told them I am on a diet where I can’t have sugar, meat, or bread and eat at home (that’s all we sell aha) so they stopped questioning me. I keep my water bottle and fill it up at work. I’ve been taking 2 tablespoons of ACV a day and that seems to be help my bloating from my cycle symptoms. Here’s to day 6! Let’s keep going!

Hi guys I’m glad to hear we’re are all on fire🔥it’s good to see our progress each day and know that we “arrive” each day to where we are meant to be. We can do anything we put our minds to.
Have anyone else ever thought that the mission to a better health and weight has hindered them from making progress in certain other areas of their life? I’ve felt sometimes that I obsess over health, weight loss, and fitness in such a way that I feel I can’t do other things before I reach those goals, or also that I think about it too much (youtube, Google, research) while I should actually focus on other things?

Yes, I have.
I think the extra weight I have been carrying around a lot to do with how I feel about myself and how I see myself. the weight has been dragging me down, not just physically but emotionally and mentally.
The way I see myself is not a pretty picture:
Not living up to my potential.
Always giving up.
No back bone.
Lazy.
So for all these years I have really been beating myself up.
This morning, while I was driving my car, listening to music, in a fasted state and with the sun on my face, I felt totally different.
And 2 questions came up:
- Why do you still need all these extra kilos?
- What do you get out of carrying all that surplus fat weight around?
All those kilos have in a crazy way meant protection. A place to hide. To not shine. Not having to live up to my potential because honestly, I thought I would never “make” it anyways. I have been put down so long by a few key people in my life, that I actually felt like I was not worth it.
But I have now learned, that people only put you down, because they are not capable of lifting you up. They only scoff at you, because they themselves have problems. They only want to diminish you, because in reality they are jealous of your inner strength.
So yeah, they weight has been hiding all that inner power and it is about time to let it all out 
Here is to fasting, here is to taking my power back!
