Day 38... 22lbs down!!!

It is 6:40 on Thursday morning. Been up for nearly 2 hours already. Did another day of hard dry fasting yesterday. I thought I would be more hungry but what really got to me was the thirst due to the abstinence of drinking any type of liquid. My mouth tasted terrible all day and downright dehydrated after I went for a 3 miles treadmill session at high speed. I went to bed at 11:30 pm last night with a violent headache. Slept like shit all night. Turned, tossed, turned, tossed again and again for hours and finally got up at about 4:30 am for I could not take it anymore. The good news is, I weighed at 208 lbs this morning, a full 22lbs down from when I started this adventure 38 days ago!
The next time I have a few days off, I will block 2 days and do a 48 hour fast. The difference this time is that I will not work out. I will test and take it easy for the duration.
22 lbs in 38 days! Wow!!! 😮

19 pounds down!!!!

Came back from 2 back to back trips 3 days ago and pretty much went about things as usual. Angelina came by on Thursday and I introduced her to the Tom DeLauer videos on YouTube. Not only is this guy gorgeous and had a smile to damn a saint but his videos are a wealth of information. Anyway, we decided we’d  go on a fast all day yesterday and I chose to do a hard dry fast while Gina decided to do liquids. If you are not familiar with the difference, the hard dry fast is a fast during which one consumes no food, no drink but also stays away from any type of water interaction such as showering, hand washing, tooth brushing, anything to to with water. The result is, the body is forced to get into autophagy, a process during which the body burns its own fat cells for water and nutrients (to put it simply).

In any case, I am down 19 pounds as of this morning and am so very excited!!!

Salon de l'Agriculture - Paris 

Arrived yesterday and was super tired from working all night. Did not jump on the treadmill right off the bat yesterday but I woke up early today and went to the hotel’s gym. Had a great day with Genevieve at the Agricultural Fair, perusing through mounds of regional foods and still was very disciplined. I did not touch any samples unless they were meat or cheese. I had a Toulouse sausage for lunch and dumped the bread it came with!
