On day 5, trying to make it to 2022

Not my first fast - longest was 10 but that was an ass whipping, although I wasn’t paying close attention to salt and electrolytes that time. I’ve done several 6 - 8 week cycles of keto as well, which I think has helped. I showed ketones at 2.5 by day 2, and 4.5 on day 4, so I seem to have adapted well from lots of practice. Overall I’ve felt great. Sleep has been deep and restful, getting around 8-9 hours a night, but damn is it tough getting going on the mornings. Wish I’d thought about using an app to help track and motivate me but didn’t think about it until I got on this sub last night. I noticed some light headedness getting up today, but no biggie. My go to tonic is water, a shot of apple cider vinegar, a teaspoon of cream of tartar for potassium, and about a teaspoon and a half of Himalayan sea salt. Mix and slam. Taste like salad dressing lol. It will add some good electrolytes and get me back up and at em when I start feeling weak. Good luck to all you fasters out there getting after it. We got this. I’m on call today, so if I’m sucking too much on a job I’m going to have to break, but here’s to ringing in the New Year clean and lean! I needed this so much. Haven’t been very kind to my body the last few months. High stress, too much alcohol, not enough exercise, and occasional cigarettes had me feeling like crud. I’m ready to begin again, and take on next year with clarity and focus. Happy New Year!
