Fasting for freedom

22:40

Cant sleep. All excited!!

Just want to get this going. And I just put my earbuds on charge + downloading the happy sounstrack I used for our walk the other day. Intending for a good day tomorrow. If I can just get my mind and heart to relax. Strong twinflame energies rushing around inside. But it will be great :blush:

So notes for tomorrow: Upbeat walk with the doggo. Meditation # 6 , pack one more box for the move, and also try to stay away from coffee as it might make tummy a little upsetti.

Goodnight everyone!

Day 3

11:20

So tireeeeed. And heated! Weird. Last time i fasted I complained about the cold. Ohwell. Hunger in the check at the moment, however maybe wasnt good choice to chew sugarfree gum? Dunno its mimicking eating. More water… Doing boxes after lunch and the megawalk will be later. Thats the plan. Now, sending to freidns in airplane game and waking up :sleeping:

13:00

Electrolytes taken, feeling nauseous after that. i wonder… but they are needed right?
Just feeling a bit tired otherwise OK! except nausea after elec.

15:00

Ugh. Mom helped me do some boxing. We were constantly on each others throats. Gosh so upset and sad about that, we can have a wonderful time when we’re in the zone. Took a break and she wanted coffee and cant drink it “just like it is” So I got sent to the store for one, yes one, cinnamon roll for her. Well. I couldnt buy only one. I bought the 3 for x moneys. There is two on my shelf in the entry/hall now… and screaming EAT US AND YOU WILL FEEL BETTER.

Feeling lots of sadness and tension and stress. I did prep earlier with meditation and was calm earlier today but mood out of whack now.

If I complete today my 3 day Pink Zone from the fasting stickers is done.

I just am so sad and want to NOT EAT THE F*ING ROLLS. NO.

Good grief! :dizzy_face::sob: physically okay, a slight dizzy/spaciousness but ok.

Had to defend fasting aswell. We were putting down kitchenware and she went on with "you need something to eat with bwfore the move! " i just said no I am doing a fast again “well but you might end it soon”

Aough. NO. NO @ rolls I am not eating you!

Maybe I should take the walk now to try and reset my mood. Or something…

When I get hot during fasting, it’s a good indicator I am into deep ketosis. I used to get very cold for quite a while when I first began fasting. I think my body has learned to switch to ketosis more efficiently now. That could be why your tempi is running warm, which would be great.

Much better. We’re out in the sun and Calm Happy Nintendo tunes also helped.

I dodged the rolls this time! yeay

Doggie getting some string cheese. Focusing on his curiousness of the world and trying to stay in the present as much as possible.

Technically next day because 0:20 buuuut havent slept yet so its still monday.

I am wide awake. Does fasting also mess with our sleep?

I noticed a lightness in my body this evening. Just that, a lightness of sorts. Good feeling.

My sleep schedule gets all kinds of whacky. Only when I’m fasting. I’ll be happy to get to refeed so I can sleep more than 4 hours.

Day 4

16:30 / 4:30 pm
So… Forgot to update in the morning but not many comments either. I feel quite good! A bit warm still.
So many food smells everywhere though and had to exert a little bit of willpower at a café with mom but it was a nice outing and I had some black coffee (yes I said I was gonna ditch it but it was side-thing). My coffee maker is now in a box.
Liiittle bit dizzy! Should do the salt flush again.

But overall 4 out of 5 paws!

22:11 / 10:11 pm

Another glorious megawalk down. And we got to see the new trams they’re test driving :heart_eyes: good day this one I am certainly in the zone

If I may point out something a little bit disappointing. No weight loss yet. Zero! But I guess itll come… i can live without if I continue to feel good. Letting the scale collect some dust a couple of days.

Day 5

5:10

Did I say I wasnt going to weigh? Well, I lied. Still not a single gram. Its stuck on 81. Sad face and I feel discouraged, mostly because I cant explain it. Makes you feel a little powerless. Only thoughts is all the walking I am doing is retaining the water… Dont know else.

But I feel good apart from that and a lighter step and all that so continuing. Also getting used to doing the salt flushes :sweat_smile: just down fast and its over.

Random bm today also but nonrelated. After 4 days of no intake? Ok…

And yes 5:10 am (slept at after 1) - weird! But okidokie :nerd_face:

side note Love doggies relaxed energy field when hes gotten more walkies, (note to self: a bit understimulated perhaps yes…) morning cuddles and he’s extra loving and soft somehow :blue_heart::pray:

Thats a thing, I want to be more cardiowise fit and be able to do some jogging with him. I am thinking next spring to try again, after dumping some bodyweight. Easier to move a lighter body. But looooong walks is also good - monologueing with myself

11:45

Oh my it can be intense with loved ones helping with packing stuff. I wonder if I am neglecting some feelings about the move… i dont feel like Im going to miss this flat - excited for the new one! But might still be some hm, separation anxiety - something? Dont know…
Need a nap now, 4 hrs this night. :sleeping:

Aiming to do more walkies later, if my leg muscles can relax, a bit sore after the outing yesterday (2 hrs).

Fasting goes good, I am drinking and peeing and drinking and peeing. Feeling lots of thirst!

I would take your measurements. Last month I only lost 2.5 lbs but I was building tons of muscle. I lost a lot of inches everywhere- 3 inches in my bust alone, 1 inch on each thigh, and one inch on each of my biceps! You’re probably burning fat and building muscle! I know it can be discouraging but this is a long term process. Do you know where you are on your cycle?

@Kristy yes i understand about the burning fat and building, but does it also work like that with no intake? :open_mouth: i guess but… wow. It could explain the lighter feeling abit aswell. Lets see if I have my tape not packed yet…

Cycle? What is that? :grin: kidding. I have no cycle. 1/ year if I am “lucky”. But it also seems to correspond if I feel better generally + and take care of my body better

Turn your phone off! You can’t order pizza if your phone is off and taking the extra step to turn it on will give you time to rethink. I’m vegetarian too! Try keeping yourself busy! I bet your wonderful fur baby would love some tummy rubs!

@Kristy I wish I had cash for meditation app :sob: i get paid friday. Or no wait. Monday because 18th is a sunday. bah.

What meditation app?

Calm. I loved the 7 day.

Ive tried Headspace before but didnt jive with it even if the animations were cute.

I know I can meditate without it ofcourse. Seems like I need some framework at the moment with that though.

And yeah going to the fluffster. He’s upside down in my bed. Weirdo. How’s your pups? And thanks for replying. :blue_heart: @Kristy lol he started dreambarking, let the baby sleep I guess
