Session: 70-minute walk

Weight: 203lbs post walk

Diet: Water fast 63 hours in before morning toast and Jelly

Back out at Big Creek at 8am again today. The Ryze mushroom mocha sleep aid I took last night didn’t do much and I didn’t really get a lot of sleep, but I forced myself to get back out there, and I pushed it a little bit further this morning. Lots of sweat today so I decided to weigh myself after my walk this morning and pull off my shoes. Danged if the scale didn’t say 203 even! I told my son yesterday that I thought I could get down to 200 or less by next Monday but we’ll have to see how that goes.

Right now, it’s all I can do to keep from running. I feel like a mustang, ready to tear off like I used to, but I know I need to take it easy, or I’ll wind up with an injury. I gotta say though, it’s hard to watch all those runners pass me by while I’m just taking a brisk walk. I need to stay humble and keep watching all those runners pass me by because every one of those runners just motivates me more.

After 63 hours of nothing but water and 1 Fresca, I finally broke down and ate a slice of toast with preserves this morning as well as some soup for lunch and I’ll have some chicken and asparagus this evening. My goal was 72 hours of fasting with just water but after my walk today, I had to put something on my stomach besides toast. I have a procedure tomorrow which requires me to take a valium this evening and then another in the morning, so I definitely want to get something in my stomach before I start on the valium. This was my second fast and I pushed it just a little further with just water this time. The last time I fasted, which was a few weeks back, I had soup and chicken and asparagus after 48 hours.

Favorite tune from today.
