Fasting Day 5

I normally fast for 40 hrs a week but! I’ve been digging out for a pond 50x20 ft & hauling the dirt/sand anything up to 130yds, so I gave myself an excuse to stop fasting, bad idea lol.

Got up Monday morning & jumped on the scales, 186 & I’m 5,10 OVERWEIGHT!!!!

So that was it, no soup for you ( Seinfeld ) so I’m on day 5 & at 178.6, still digging the pond, putting a concrete base down for a greenhouse, more digging out & putting in a veggie garden, more digging out.

I do sip on an home made electrolytes made from, lemon juice,salt, a little honey, ginger & water.

I also take magnesium taurate & nattokinase because of my history of Atrial fibrillation

Feel like I could go on endlessly but I do want to get my greenhouse up before we get a frost!

Update, ended up doing 10.5 days, lost 12 pounds, ended fasting yesterday & felt fine but today, no energy at all, less than when I was fasting, I have experienced this before & hope tomorrow I’m back to normal!

I fast for a whole month from sunrise to sunset during Ramadan I love doing it because it helps with my stomach issues 😊

Hi Nugger

Sounds like you're very busy, digging that pond and all the other labour you're doing. Hope you manage to get the greenhouse up before the frost sets in. You can do it!

Zest :-)

Well done for losing some weight and fasting for 40 hours, the pond sounds hard work I’m hiring a mini digger for mine.

I think it’s very wise having electrolytes especially on a long fast.

Good luck with your weight loss. 👍
