Fasting went well today. I kept the water nearby and when I tired of drinking it cold, I started drinking it hot. I didn’t have any urge for herbal teas. Perhaps I’ve had my fill of them for a while.
I kept my last meal last evening deliberately high fiber and low carb (fresh green beans with a little sprinkle of chopped almonds). Dinner this evening was a large salad of raw veggies and lean grilled chicken breast along with a glass of water with a lemon slice. I’ve not been tempted to do anything beyond that.
The workouts today went well as did my work on my bibliography for my paper. I discovered it was the adjustment to my contact lens that seems to be tiring me so much. It makes sense since I’m using multi-focal lens and my brain needs to adjust. Until the paper is done, I won’t be wearing them much. A day off of them has also improved my mood.
I’ve been pushing heavier weights on the workouts and varying style on some of the exercises to hit my glutes a little harder. I have the cursed “boy’s butt” which some guys like, but I wouldn’t mind a little more lift and curve to it. Might as well see what I can do now.
I have noted on those days when I push myself on my workouts, I tend to carry that attitude through on other projects as well and make progress. Doubtlessly something to remember as an additional incentive to keep with the program. I am already feeling much stronger and when one considers that it hasn’t even been a month, that’s pretty darned impressive!
Well done on completing the fast and staying so positive – you sound as though you have it all sorted. Well done and keep up the great work!
