Day 17…flying in airports today and masks are mandatory and social distancing…is this really the new norm. Thank god for masks helps with the keto breath lol.
Sometimes I put one drop of olbas oil and swish water as a mouth wash.

I’m super grateful for green tea as I don’t drink coffee and it helps rides the waves of exhaustion.

Wish I can click my heels and everything will be as I wished for…patience grasshopper.
Focusing on more ab and core exercises hopefully that will help.

Been researching how to break the fast properly and watching videos and recipes…
I found this amazing product called ground lupin and lupin flour and beans keto and high in protein so excited to experiment.

Day 18
Wow I had a 17 hour layover in Indianapolis and was going to wake up early and catch up on a bunch of stuff…well I woke up late like 8am and went back to bed 11am cause felt like crap. I had such a slow start almost didn’t feel like moving. Finally I got a workout in. I haven’t slept that long during this whole fast.

I heard some parks were opening so hopefully I can plan a birthday trip.

Excited to visit Alex haven’t seen him in 3 months. He already practices IF but he’s excited about vegan keto. Were going to test recipes with lupin beans. He was even thinking about opening a vegan keto cafe lol!

Miss going to my cool gym classes at Equinox hopefully will be open in June.

Dry mouth and dry lips trying to find a solution for that…

Can’t believe it’s day 18 already where does the time go…12 more days to finish line.
Must be extra careful around Alex he eats a ton and cant join his party or else I will be in trouble lol

[Compdude]

Congrats on your progress.

Day 19…glad the feeling of fainting is passing but do need to get up slowly still.

Sometimes I wish I wasn’t so hard on myself. During this fast I’ve noticed my bad habits and negative patterns I have to create a plan of action to shift those.

Like sleeping next to my phone, wasting time on social media, procrastinating, surfing the web for dumb stuff etc…I want to eliminate time suckers.

I want to come out of this feeling renewed, stable, peaceful and with a better sense of bodymind and mindbody.

Ready to be free and live in ease and grace.

Good for you. Fasting sure does lead to a lot of introspection on our lives. Mental, emotional as well as physical cleaning.

[Nakedearth]

Don’t know what’s wrong with me today…feel like breaking my fast…feeling overwhelmed…got up super dizzy and I thought that phase had passed…can barely get out of bed even though I had a green tea…I should go for a bike ride

Well the whole day passed and my mind was a mess and kept thinking about food and ended up never leaving the house

Alex never worries about his weight and I can’t keep up with his eating habits. I wish it wasn’t an issue between us.

At least I didn’t lose my mind and binge…going to bed early.

I’m so over Corona b.s the news is so depressing.
Day 20 not a good day
Where is the euphoria?

[Tenax]

It will pass. Some days better than others is not unusual

[Jessical]

Dat 20 that is unbelievable!!! You are amazing!!!

[Tenax]

I never did feel that euphoria…during or after.

[Nakedearth]

Hmmm I wonder what it is then they are talking about…

[Nakedearth]

Thanks its been quite a Rollercoaster challenge I see the finish line

[Jessical]

Its been quite a while since I felt that euohoria, kinda like floating on clouds or being in love or infatuation lol

[Nakedearth]

Day 21 I thought I would feel good but instead I was nauseous all day and wanted to throw up and got up slowly and held onto a wall till the room stopped spinning…
Also I got my period May 7 and its May 13 and I still have it which is very unusual and hopefully nothing to worry about…leaving for a flight tomorrow…I don’t know if its the combination of radiation and fasting but I was wiped out when I got home.
I’m wanting to finish 9 more days to 30 but my ears are echoing again and my mom says I sound funny like I’m underwater.
I wonder if there are there signs to know if you should break your fast…

Hmmm the thought of chewing seems so laborious one thing I’ve been watching a lot of cooking videos

[Nakedearth]

Ooooooh I want to feel that

[Tenax]

Sorry to hear. Obviously I can’t speak to the periods or radiation side effects during fasting but are you keeping up your electrolytes somehow? I think lack of is one of the greatest dangers to water fasting.

Day 22…made it to work…was freezing on the plane ride I had to bring my winter jacket…

Random thoughts why do hotel mirrors make you look worse then at home mirrors. Found some wrinkly skin around my navel…how to muscle tone that! It looks like baby elephant skin lol

Wanted to do a countdown 8 days left but I thought it might mess up my mind too much…

I wish my mind was more still it feels like its racing with lots of thoughts…need to meditate more.

The online classes are intense!! Took a bodymind dance class online…interesting.

Feel like some warm soup. Alex made the flax bread so proud of him! Have to plan extra ahead for vacation for keto

[Tenax]

Your autophagy changes may take care of that. The joy of being 58 going on 59 in Sept is some loose skin is nothing for me to be stressed about!

[Compdude]

You’ll lose the loose skin when you drop below a certain body fat percentage is what was reported by a YouTube faster who documented her journey and results. I don’t have her channel as I didn’t write down the info.

[Jessical]

I’m 36 and I already have so much loose skin. Thinking about getting a tummy tuck once I maintain my weight. So gross, looks terrible and makes me.so depressed. Surgery scares me tho.
