Day 3 of a planned 5 day 'no solid food fast'
Blood sugar 87 mg/dL
👍 Another day of a 2 pound loss 😀. It 'appears' that consuming large amounts of "Quest Vanilla Milkshake Protein Powder", heavy cream, and Splenda does not slow my weight loss...
🚗 On my 1 hour drive to work yesterday I felt 'lethargic'. As a test, rather than have more coffee once I got to work, I decided to take a hit of "Hi-Lyte Electrolyte Concentrate". Sure enough in 3 minutes I felt fine. When fasting, electrolyte imbalance seems to be the source of any discomfort. Taking "Hi-Lyte Electrolyte Concentrate" 2-3 times a day relieves it.
🏋🏾♂️ Went to the gym last night. The hip was totally fine, but I did put less weight on the bar for the deadlifts. However, I did all my other lifts with the normal weight. It seems I can 'carb up' on the protein drink and still lift my normal weight.
🥛 Basically, when I got home from work, I had one scoop of "Quest Vanilla Milkshake Protein Powder" with heavy cream and Splenda in hot water. After drinking it, it hit my blood sugar so hard I had to lay down and take a short nap! Then I walked to the gym and this is what I did:
[3 sets of each]
Bench Press - 85lbs (10 reps)
Deadlift – 90lbs (6 reps)
Squat - 110lbs (10 reps)
Ab Crunch - 120lbs (10 reps)
Pullups - (10 reps)
Shrug - 110lbs (10 reps)
Bicep Curl - 40lbs (10 reps)
Pushups - (10 reps)
However, that was only 2 days fasted, let's see if I can still do this on Thursday when I will be 4 days fasted.
🏃🏾♂️ I'm off for a 5 mile run. Every day that I am not weight lifting I plan to run 5 miles a day. I also walk for an hour on my lunch break at work (since I am not eating), and @PrincessValerie and I walk for an hour after work most days.
Have a good day everyone!
