20% of the way there!
I love tracking my progress! For some reason 20% done sounds better than 4 days complete! Today was relatively good. I anticipate the cravings will leave tomorrow, and I'm excited about that! So excited!!!!
You just have no idea how strong scents smell right now! The hubs was joking and saying he wasn't gonna eat dinner tonight, but instead - wait for me to be done on the fast before he ate again! (ha ha!)
I said, "ummmmm- so what will you really eat for dinner?"
He said, "Really, nothing! I'm just gonna go without for 15 more days."
I said, "SIXTEEN." (but who's counting?) I AM.
About 30 minutes later, the most delicious smell came wafting over. I think it was toast. LOL Ridiculous.
I'm laughing so hard at that! It's funny cuz it's true!
For people who have asked, I am DEFINITELY feeling the difference already. Flushing all that sodium is a quick way to get rid of bloat that you might not have even realized you had! I'm sleeping so deeply at night, waking up refreshed and full of energy, and overall feeling great! I didn't even crave potato chips at all today.
I've dropped some weight according to the scale - but I don't count that as real weight. Some (but not all) will come back as you start to.... well.... you know, give another organ BESIDES your kidney something to do! And of course, if you come off the fast and start to eat processed junk again - say "helllllllllllo to my little friend" Sodium, once again.
But - if you're using this as the proper reset that it is, and looking to stay away from some of the foods that you just eliminated during those 20 days - cool! Keep it out of your diet, and keep that weight off of your frame! You can really keep it off! Just stay focused :)
by the way - do not do anything I suggest without talking to your doctor first!! Also, I DID write this yesterday, And then my internet went down. Gotta love living on a mountain!!!
