Fasting Friday?

❌ Lying

✅ Trying

Starting April, I started fasting with the intent of a 21 day fast to finish on my birthday. I failed after 48 hrs. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Got distracted with family visits & did not follow through. Then I forgot & kept messing it up.

So far, the last thing I consumed was broth on April 16. This means I have completed a successful 3 day water only fast! 😍

Had coffee at 0700, then I broke fast today at 0930 with purple sweet potato, greens, steak, eggs, green tea. Going to water fast until next Friday, so 7 days this next round. Hopefully breaking it into chunks will facilitate a successful long term fast until pizza day :).

I underestimated my body's attachment to carbohydrates. Feeling faint is adding to a lack of forward motion. Breaking fast was necessary. Stretching out the days in-between breaking fast will be helpful.

This time around, I may have failed 21 days consecutively - but will get there little by little. 🐢

In 2020 & 2021, I successfully fasted for 20-30 days at a time over several months. Experience with long term fasting made me think I could just wing it this time. I was wrong & that is ok. There's always tomorrow to try again.
