RoseFlorida's Journal, 04 August 2020

Fasted for 40 hours this time. The longer fast I did last week may have been easier than this one. You start planning your food sooner and thinking about food more. I was hungrier than the longer fast. I decided to switch up alternate day fasting with 4-5 day fasting. 2 weeks and then switch. So I'll have around 1800 calories or so today and stop eating by 8 p.m. tonight and skip tomorrow and then eat again Thursday at noon and keep repeating for a total of 2 weeks. I want to see the difference in fasting methods on mood, weight, workouts, blood sugar,ketones, and so on. I might keep doing the most effective one until my son graduates boot camp in late November/ early December. I do not want him hearing your momma so fat jokes because they'll stick around in the military. After he graduates then I'll slow down the weight loss to a sustainable plan. What I'm doing now is NOT sustainable and I do know that. I can do it for a few more months and then it would be overkill. But it is possible to do for a little while to get down in size quicker. Normally I'm of the opinion that it took time to put it on, it will take time to take it off but sometimes there are goals at a certain time and you push harder for a short while and then go back to your new normal way. I like fasting so I won't give that up but it may be a 5 days a month instead of days per week or 24 hour fasts 3x a week. I'm not sure yet and I have time to decide.
I made coconut flour fathead bagels last night so I could have one today. They were alright, not a bagel though. I'm going to throw the rest in the freezer and use them a pizza bases for nights I don't want to cook. I have a few individual bases in the freezer already but I'll use these quicker I think. I like the size better and the way they puffed some while cooking more than the other ones I have. Besides who doesn't like pizza bagels.
I ordered some pickle ice pops that should be here later this week because I have just about drunk my pickles dry in the fridge. I like pickle juice after or before workouts, I should just buy a gallon container of the juice but don't want to spend the money without knowing if it's any good. If I don't like the pops I can give the rest (still sealed) away to a few people I know.
Sorry so long today but it's my journal and I wanted think out in my typing.
