I started my 10 day fast again on Monday, today is Day 3. I feel pretty good physically despite the fact that I have not eaten any solid food in the past three days. The lemonade drink does satisfy the hunger pangs and it is the end result that I am looking towards which is better health and hopefully lessened allergies. I have done this once successfully and the results were amazing. I have been under so much stress lately that my body took the full toll of unhealthy. My complexion is horrid and overall I just felt like crap for the past several months. The fast is my motivation to get back into shape and eat well. I walked home last night from work (45 mins) and I felt a little weak towards the end which nixxed the idea of going to the gym. I think by tomorrow I will have more energy and I can probably go to the gym without incident. I was pretty weak this morning when I woke up but I think that was because I didn't have the 6 drinks yesterday, I only felt like having 5. I know that my stomach feels great right now from giving my digestion a break.
I won't lie, I needed a kickstart to my weight-loss goal as well and this is the perfect way to get there. I do not have much to lose, 20 pounds would be my ideal in the next few months. I am hoping that between exercise and eating better I can get there. I am going to California at the end of May and I will be hanging around with EXTREMELY FIT and ATHLETIC Professional Beach Volleyball Players. I do not want to look like some fluffy slouch from Boston.
So I figured I would write about my experience on my blog, even though I am convinced no one really reads it...lol I am having trouble focusing (>>hence this post<<), but I am sure this will be better by tomorrow. The first 2-3 days are the toughest, with Day #1 being most brutal dealing with the CAFFEINE WITHDRAWALS....Oh Dunkin' Donuts how I miss you so! D&D Ice Coffee is my summer time vice! I do not drink alcohol or smoke, so caffeine is my weakness! I am hoping to make the GYM my next addiction... Right now it is painful for me to just get to the gym. I am hoping that will change when I am done with this fast. I figure if I can go without food for 12 days (10 day fast + 2 days off regime), I can most certainly get my lazy A$$ to the gym!
