Day 2 of a planned 5 day ‘no solid food fast’
Blood sugar 85 mg/dL
Yesterday was super easy. No hunger at all. I held off drinking any protein powder (other than the scoop I put in my morning coffee), until late in the day.
My new way of drinking it, during the day, is to put one scoop of “Quest Vanilla Milkshake Protein Powder” in a “shaker cup” with Splenda and then pour a third of it at a time into a coffee mug and then add a half cup of hot water from the Keurig. This is so amazing you will want to die it tastes so good!
The only problem is that half an hour later I want another one, and another one. It only has 2 net carbs per scoop (and I only have 1 scoop during the day at work), but I have to be careful because my body can start treating the extra protein like carbs so I may need to cut it out if I feel it is affecting my weight loss.
I started the day off with a 5 mile run as soon as I woke up. I love running. I really missed fasting and running. So glad to be back to it.
Today I plan to go to the gym after work. I plan to get through all my sets, but, I will lower the weight since I am now 'fasted'. Also, I may not do deadlifts for awhile because on Sunday my hip felt sore and that was the only lift where I felt it. I also felt soreness in my hip on my run. I don’t need any injuries or anything messing up my running!
Have a good day everyone!
