Day 5
CW: 142.4
Feeling pretty good today but missing food out of boredom I think. Ran 3 miles this morning and did a bit of weight training. Then had a bit of sea salt, ACV, and lemon juice as a pick me up which worked well. Powering through!

Day 6
CW: 140.6
Today is day 6 and Iām feeling pretty good but not optimal. I ran 3 miles this morning and felt pretty sluggish the entire run. Contemplating breaking my fast today with bone broth to get an extra lift in energy and to get the comfort of a warm bowl of broth honestly. Also, Iām starting to miss my longer distance runs and weight lifting. IF I do decide to break my fast today, Iāll still feel accomplished with another consecutive month of incorporating a 5 day reset. And, this is the first 5 day fast that I didnāt have a splash of creamer in my coffee! Hopefully I can push through and afterwards have a nice clean keto refeed.

@DeeTabor just a thought before you break your fast, if you are just feeling a bit sluggish, take some electrolytes. If that doesnāt give you a boast, then by all means do whatās best for you! Listen to your body. Iām thinking that you may have depleted your salts with your runā¦

Thatās was good idea @Shawna_Weekley ! I put some electrolyte powder in my water so Iām waiting to see if this gives me a pick-me-up. 
Thank you!

I read that Green Tea helps with sluggishness, tooā¦

I heard that too once and that it also suppresses the appetite. 
I have some here so Iām going to give it a try this week. Thinking of starting another short term fast this week to do one more cleanse before I transition to a plant based diet. I ended up breaking my fast on Saturday with bone broth but I felt really good about it, 5 1/2 days strong, no regrets at all. Iām going to post in here if I decide to do another 5 day this week because it was so helpful and encouraging communicating with you all last week during my fast. What a wonderful community. Thinking of joining the zoom calls! @schmidtsmia

I am in the 3 p.m. call, 'cause I am in Germany, and
8:30 p.m., EST, is too late for me. I plan on staying in
the zoom chats, until the end of September, or even
October, because I gots me 60 lbs to release. I got
to get it off, asap, due to a unhappy knee. I can
HIGHLY recommend those Zoom calls. And I just love
watching the progress of my fellow fasters. We are
all in the same boat. Do join!

Today is hard! I am feeling super low energy and barely made it through my workout. I couldnāt even run the full distance so I ran 1 mile, walked 2.6, and then took the twins out on a 1.4 mile walk. I am about to get some salt and electrolytes in me and see if that helps. Pushing through to day 7 and excited to see the 130ās tomorrow!
