Awesome Tamela.

Dave,

I hope you are successful on the hunt.

Thank you Sir, it’s been quite enjoyable just being back in the woods again. I also went & shot my gun yesterday to make sure it’s still on, and it was. So just need to see if the Deer will come visit or not. :slight_smile:

It’s looking like I’m going to break at 42 hours cause I’m really starting to struggle mentally. I packed a nice keto lunch just in case and that always seems to be my downfall lol. I can’t stop thinking about it. Tummy is making all kinds of disparaging remarks haha. I feel pretty good about this fast though. I will probably have 2 meals today and try to do another 42. Thursday is my birthday and at that point all bets are off and I won’t jump back on the fasting wagon until Monday.

Happy almost birthday! @Robinette71

I was going great and then I felt really off yesterday afternoon. A different kind of off that I am not sure how to describe but I had commitments last night and I was not feeling capable of doing them. it may have been life stressors, it may be the illness my body is resisting successfully.
Right before I broke my fast I was at bg=77, bk=1.7, gki= 2.5 (a big improvement from fasting 22 hours or so)

Anyway I ended both fasts last night and took care of myself. And I will ‘live’ to fast again. :wink:

I have houseguests coming tomorrow and a good friend’s birthday this weekend so I am probably looking at normal keto / omad through the weekend.

this morning preworkout gki was up again bg=87, bk=.5, gki=9.6

Wishing all a great rest of the week!

Might not be around much after tomorrow, being I will be tied up for the rest of the week, so early Happy Birthday to ya, Tamela. :slight_smile: Seems to be quite a few October Birthdays here too. :slight_smile:

Presently at 42.5 hrs. and will probably break tonight with Dinner, so probably be doing just 47 hrs., by the time I get home. Doubt I do anymore this week too with stuff planned for the rest of the week and weekend. - Have been in meetings all day, with a fourth one scheduled in just 30 minutes, so it’s been a long day and not getting much done in the way of work. Actually looking forward to some time off. :+1:

I am about 24 hours into an impromptu fast. I think I’ll do 36 and break it in the morning. Fridays usually seem to be good days for a fast for some reason.

Out of curiosity, what are all the little circles around the large one?
I’ve downloaded the app, but can’t seem to find a description of them anywhere! Do you find them useful?

(I suppose I could make a fake fast entry to see what they are).

If you tap on one of the little symbols it should bring up another dialog box where you can choose to learn more or view more info or something along those lines.

Here are screenshots I kept of the basic information just in case you have trouble.

Thanks. I just didn’t recall seeing all of those when I used it.

Jumping into a 48 hr fast. Tuesday is my wife’s birthday so planning a keto friendly meal for the 3 of us.

(Susan) #211

Happy Birthday to your lovely wife, Eric =). I hope that you have a delicious meal with her that evening and that she has a wonderful day and many more years to come.

(Susan) #212

I completed my second leg of my 48 time 2 fast (with that meal on Friday supper in between) at 5pm tonight.

Congrats to all that fasted and best wishes to all that are still fasting =).

(Eric - The patient needs to be patient!) #213

Yea Susan.

(Eric - The patient needs to be patient!) #214

Okay, I decided not to fast this week. I’m focusing a lot of energy on building lean muscle mass and just had a great lower-body workout. Just going to feed my protein needs. Happy fasting all.

I never did close this, did I? Went 43 hours (Thursday 8pm through Saturday 3pm). During the fasting period I did my normal bodyweight and weightlifting exercises Friday and Saturday, walked about 1.5 miles Friday evening and 4.5 miles Saturday shortly before breaking the fast. I had good energy and felt fine for the entire period.

I considered continuing further but I had a physical scheduled Monday and didn’t want to do weird things to the blood testing.
