So yesterday was terrible and I need to make up for it, because I can't have bad days anymore. At my age, a bad day pretty much ruins a whole week, so today I am fasting for the whole day, and live blogging it here.
I'm going to a full day, and into tomorrow: I'll end this fast at 5pm tomorrow, in which I'll resume my "one meal a day" intermittent fast. A secondary (but less important) "stretch goal" is to hit 12k steps today.
10:00 am: Feeling pretty gross from yesterday still.
11:00 am: feeling hungry for the first time. Easy to resist though.
11:50: Roblox is the ugliest game I've seen in my life. Going to get some steppin' on inside my home.
1:37: Wave of hunger crashed through the system, but fine now. Only at 1200 steps though, so going to grab more steps.
4:14: Had an irrational desire to take an unopened bag of Reese's peanut butter bells and melt them in a pan. This passed. Still only at 2500 steps, although when Monday Night Football starts, I'll be nervously pacing (and catching up).
Also enjoying some coffee brewed by boiling grounds in a pan. :p
5:10: Kicking the kid off of Roblox to watch FOOTBAWL. Still fasting, still gotta get WAY more steps in today....
6:24 Made dinner for the kids, this surprisingly did not trigger a lot of hunger. Closing in on 5000 steps.
8:42 Well the Lions disappointed. Still hanging in there, but sorta wanting to taste something savory, will make some chicken broth when I can boil some water. At 7100 steps now.
10:04 Feeling... not really hungry at all, which is odd since this is longest fast I've done in quite some time. (I don't think I've gone longer than 48 hours). I've decided to stop going after steps, I'll land somewhere in the 7-8k range which is enough to supplement the inevitable drop in metabolism that fasting causes.
