Day 4 of a planned 5 day ‘no solid food’ fast
Blood sugar 95 mg/dL

Well, ‘Fasting Is Fastest’ if I can exercise 👍🏾

Yesterday I was able to find a break in the rain and 🏃🏾 run 5 miles. I then did a 🏋🏾 workout with weights at home. Comparing these results to not working out at all shows that 90% of the ‘weight loss’ is water moving ‘out’, but, it is nice to see the scale move…

Still at zero 'net loss' for the week. Let's see if I can drop a pound tomorrow. Gonna be hard because it is still raining like crazy. Will go to the gym tonight...

😎 Life is Good! Have a great day everyone!
174.0 lb Lost so far: 33.0 lb.    Still to go: 10.0 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.

So any more pushups? I am still working on mine. After that whole challenge I can finally manage to do some. The fasting people believe that resistance training is good for your cells and improving your metabolism. Great that you got your run in. I did mine in biting cold. Hurrah for the scale!!!!

@liv001 - Great job on your pushups! No pushups for me since the contest :( However, I am working out with the weights at home. Both help, but, I enjoy the 'harder muscle workout' that the weights provide. Fasted weights and cardio are the best for me, but, fasted weightlifting does reduce my 'lifting strength'. This is not a problem with my dumbbells at home, only when I am in the gym trying to deadlift 230 pounds...

adef can you run in the gym? Not as much fun I'm sure :( Good job staying neutral since you haven't been able to run much at all lately!

@nikeit - I tried to run on te treadmill at te gym, couldn't do it, got so bored. Back in the day the treadmill was fine, but, there is nothing like being 3 miles from home on a run and knowing the only way back home is to run back :)

@anaserk- Good luck on your fast! I left a comment on your last Journal post. You inspired me to water wat at least one day next week (today is done and tomorrow I break the fast at night). I miss the 'Spiritual' aspect of a 'true water fast' (right now I am taking in hundreds of calories in liquids, not-the-same-thing).

@adefwebserver - thank you so much for all your comments of support! Good luck on your upcoming water fast! (Glad I could inspire you!) And hey - liquid food fasting is very commendable and also helps your digestive system along. Best of luck on your journey to bettet health!
