Daily Positive Affirmation: i can surprise myself with my determination. I can do 14 days again. I can extend whenever it feels right.
How I feel today: Today was very emotional with nagging thoughts making me afraid to try again. I felt the same way last week but it was hormones. This is hormones too. Not my powerful self speaking. I will choose to listen to my power not my weakness.

My days of September are all planned out. I have been wanting to use my 30 reasons why on the top of the numbered stickies and for the 30 things i love about myself to get revealed each day under each sticky and i just finished it! I can’t believe how well some of them matched up with each other. Just made me kinda giddy that it all works so nicely together. I made a day 31 so i can keep going on longer months 
if that’s what feels right to me

Yesterday was day one of September but day 4 of my fast so I experienced some of the typical aches and pains. I grumbled a lot and asked my husband for a beck massage then we went for a drive. The pain made me nauseous so i asked him to leave me at home for an epsom soak and wow! Made all the difference. Electrolytes make or break it and my lack of magnesium was showing. I soaked ad brought 40 oz water bottle to drink and listened to a podcast. Self care is key!

End of day 6 of this long fast. Feeling great. Really. Taking plenty of electrolytes daily and that makes all the difference. I noticed that my clothes are fitting like i am 10 lbs lighter than the scale says so def don’t trust it! I noticed the way i cross my legs is changing and the skin fold in my upper left bicep has disappeared. I hated feeling the skin fold there because my muscles has so decreased while my adipose increased!! I woke up at 3 am and it took awhile to get back to sleep but my energy is really good. I am getting to bed earlier because my days are more productive. My kids and husband have accepted my fast and the support definitely helps!!

My husband will be joining me! He has agreed to an eating window while limiting carbs. I am so excited. It will help his pain and inflammation so much. We filled out his 30 reasons why and 30 things he loves about himself. He HATED DOING that. Even told me “you’re going to make it so I don’t want to fast at all!!” He lived.
