Background and day 1 can be found here
Overall I would say things are going well.
I’m heading into hour 44 right now which is the longest I’ve fasted in ages.
Day 2 details
Weight: -2 pounds from yesterday (water weight obvi). I expected more since I was eating like a jerkface before. Damnit.
Consumed: coffee w stevia (tomorrow I’m going to try plain green tea instead), flat water, lacroix carbonated water, electrolyte water (LMNT), hot lemon ginger decaf herbal tea
How I’m feeling:
SLEEP: Sleep last night was el sucko. Like BAD. It was my first night in a strange place alone so I couldn’t relax. Plus the mattress and pillows aren’t really my preferred style (I think I’ve got an age where I need to bring my own pillow on vacation lol!). Given I probably only slept 3 hours or so last night it is safe to say that tonight I’m taking a Lunesta. Fingers crossed.
ACTIVITY: Been working at my laptop during the day per usual and had a few meetings (we work from home). Then I went for a nice walk along the river. It was cold but sunny and it felt good to get a little activity in even if only 25 minutes. As soon as it warms up I’ll be out there longer and more often.
FEELING: I’m a little bored. Pretty fatigued but I attribute that to the lack of sleep. But shockingly so far I wasn’t feeling much hunger until the last hour.
It’s surprisingly refreshing to be in a place completely void of food. The lack of temptation is a game changer. It’s night and day compared to when I do this at home where the food calls to me!
Zero rumbly tummy, zero hunger pains, zero rough headaches, and zero nausea thus far. Hopefully it stays that way!
Good job at your progress! For me sleep is hit and miss during the fast - some nights are horribly, while others I sleep like a baby. Seems pretty random to me. Worst day for me is the second day, when my body is transitioning into keto - I get a bad headache.
