Progress

I’m about 32+ hours into my water (black coffee) fast and gliding along. I just got back from a 4+ mile walk and my ketones were up to 2.1(my personal record high) and a DBR of 41(another personal record). Blood sugar was 90 (because of the exercise?) but earlier in the day I was a 70, 1.0 ketones and DBR of 68.

I don’t have to deal with food so it’s a great opportunity to be productive and smash a project that’s been on the back burner. Whenever food does come to mind, I just run through a little self talk with my body that I firmly believe; “I don’t need to eat, I don’t want to eat, so just continue to eat my fat”!

Actually I feel great and plan on celebrating the end of my water fast with sardines, or rolling right into another sardine challenge.

Sleep has still been inconsistent. Last night I was in bed at 9:30, up at 03:00 for a little while, back to sleep, up again but I refused to check the time, back to sleep and woke up as it started to get light around 07:00 (I forgot to set my alarm for 06:00). My sleep # is 9.5-2=7.5; I felt rested in spite of the disruptions.

I’m starting to believe that the process itself and the inherent self discovery may be some of the greatest rewards, along with added health benefits of course. I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s adventure.

Cheers team
