It's not so Bad!

by njk2125 on 28 Aug 2013, 08:26

So it just past 9am here in England and I'm 36 hours in to my first liquid fast which was my aim. Just incase any new members of 5:2 are interested and for my future reference, I didn't find it so bad.

I thought the first 12 hours was easy, mainly because the majority of it I was sleeping. Throughout yesterday a full fasting day I was fine until the time my family decided to have thier evening meal, then my stomach started to rumble and I started to salivate (not attractive!). I found the distraction of a nice long bubble bath followed by a self pedicure and facial a very useful tool. I would usually have gone for a run but having already been in the morning I didn't want to push it on no food. Once I got past that point it was easy again, although going to bed on empty was a little strange. It took me a little longer than usual to fall asleep but I was tired and in bed eiarlier, I'm not sure if it is connected. I had a good nights sleep and woke up naturally about 8.30 am.

As you can tell from me blogging before breakfast, I'm not ravenous and could probably go to lunch without to much trouble. However I set myself a target of 36 hours and I have met that so I will leave a more extended fast for another week. My stats this morning, just for reference are 1 pound down in weight, 2 inches of my waist with my body fat remaining the same. I know as soon as I start to eat some of that will come back on but it deffinatly looks to be a bloating buster!

note to self: I am recording todays stats for future record of my experimentation of 5:2 methods
