I completed another 44-hour water/coffee fast this week. I am now in IF feasting mode for the next twelve days. I did very well on the fast, but was more hungry than is typical for a fast. The health benefits continue to astonish me as I have seen a reduction in inflammation in my joints (I don't feel my age anymore!!) and my loose skin is starting to recede.
I am re-committed to the gym. I have been distracted lately in my personal life, but I need to get back into my exercise routine. It helps so much. I love working out when I am fasting - I picture my body burning fat with every step and every movement that I make. It is exhilarating, really.
I am scheduled for blood work next week. I can't wait for the results. I know my blood sugar will be lower. The only question is cholesterol and I think I have that worked out, too. Olive oil will be my best friend in the coming week as I seek to increase my dietary fat percentage so that my body isn't compelled to make its own cholesterol. My triglycerides should be WAY down. Super excited about that.
It is hard to believe that I am only a couple of pounds away from what I weighed when I graduated from high school. I hope everyone has a great week and continues onward and downward!
