Day 2 of a planned 5 day 'no solid food' fast Blood sugar 81 mg/dL
👍🏾 So glad I am back on 'no solid food'. There were sooo many opportunities to eat yesterday but I said no to all of them. The funny thing is that I am not hungry. After consuming 7k in calories over the past 3 days alone how-can-a-person-be-hungry? Maybe some active person in their 20’s can burn through that much fuel, but, my 50 year old body simply cannot find a use for all that, and will pack it away as fat… to be used as fuel when needed. Either way, no-one-is-going-to-starve 😊
So when I "want to eat" I am just bored. I was busy yesterday and that helped 'reduce' the periods of boredom, but, not eliminate them. When they came I had a 🥛 protein drink in hot water (they taste better with heavy cream, but that triggers hunger in me).
I started the day off with 🏃🏾 a run. I REALLY enjoy running first thing in the morning. No better way to start the day. Today is a 🏋🏾 lifting day so no running. Running on a lifting day saps my strength and I am going to try to get through my sets at 200 lbs… and that is a lot of weight… on my shoulder… doing squats… 😊
😎 Have a great day everyone!

@KayBuckaroo - Yes! I do NOT feel good when I eat in the 1500+ range. But, I have to 'not eat solid food' to keep in the 1000 range :)

"no-one is going to starve". Love it! Good going M. It sure is a different ballgame when 50+. 😊

@Becc@ - I have always had a 'slow metabolism' but, I find I need less calories as time goes on. All the older people I know, who are not fat, eat very low calories.

Adef, are you doing any Cardio with your workout at the Gym? Rowing or Speed Bike? Once we get the heart rate in the 60% or better, the Calorie Burn increases.

@srossca - On te weekends I will do cardio after a workout, but, during the week I can only get to the gym late at night so I have to go to bed afterwards :( If I run before my workout I 'feel weaker' and can't lift as much weight.

The Cardio is only 5 to 10 minutes, it helps stimulate the heartbeat. Please remember, it is intense, not a light jog
