Yesterday wasn't as rough as I thought it would be. I read a lot of articles on fasting and they made it sound like I was going to die the first 24 hours. If I hadn't been used to fasting for years I probably would have. By fasting, I mean that I used to only eat dinner; however, I would drink a lot of Coke through the day.
I had some hunger which I would counter with 2 glasses of water. I had a headache towards the end of the day, which went away right before bed but is back now. I got up to pee a lot last night - three times and I emptied my over-full bladder. Water weight loss put me at 3 pounds down. I did my measurements yesterday and I'll do them every Sunday. My plan is minimum of 5 days - I'd like to go 14 days. I am not planning to workout during the fast, however, I haven't ruled it out. I want to workout I don't think it's a good idea. As for whether fasting is or isn't a good idea - we'll have to see. Being 100 pounds overweight isn't a good idea either. I'm not doing this to lose weight; I'm doing this to drop sugar completely. I am a sugar addict and cutting Coke was hard enough, now it's time to cut out everything for a bit and "start over" so-to-speak. When I'm done with the fast I'll introduce food slowly - like watermelon and soup. Then add more veggies and fruit and some meats.
I did wake up tired. I slept 8 hours and was still ready for another 2-10 hours of sleep. I'm sure part of that is that I woke up multiple times and after the last one I didn't get back to sleep. I did have like 12 kernels of popcorn last night to get rid of my heartburn.
