Day 2 of a planned 2 day ‘no solid food’ fast
Blood sugar 92 mg/dL
24 pushups (
2019 PUSH UP Challenge!)
I’ve basically been 170lbs since August. However, I put on a LOT of muscle since then. It is hard to show in pictures, but my muscle mass has changed so much my body is literally ‘shaped differently’. My stomach is ‘flatter’ and my arms and legs are visibly leaner. The fact that I can now lift 200lbs in my squats and deadlifts is proof that my muscle mass has changed. Back in August I was only able to lift 110lbs.
Here is where I am at now:
💪🏾 Squat –200lbs (10 reps x 3)
💪🏾 Deadlift - 200lbs (6 reps x 3)
💪🏾 Shrug - 270lbs (10 reps x 3)
💪🏾 Bench Press – 120lbs (10 reps x 3)
What has helped me progress is 'surrender'. When I make my decisions I say to myself "Listen, you have no 'willpower'! Accepting this, what will you do?" That is why I say "Ok I will let go, but 'try' not to eat any 'solid food'". True willpower would have me just 'acting right'. Not gonna happen... :) This works fine during the week. I don’t eat solid food, so I don’t binge.
However, since this is not a ‘temporary diet’ but a ‘lifestyle’ I have to allow myself solid food periodically and especially on the weekends. If I don’t ‘binge’ great, but, if I do, I just ‘take the hit’. So far this has worked for nearly 4 months.
If I can 'act right' great, but what I won’t do is 'try' and 'fail', and then feel that I 'can't' achieve my desires because they can't live up to an 'ideal' :)
😎 Life is Good! Have a great day everyone!
