Started out on this WOE last Wednesday with my first fast day, only side effect was a 2 day headache however I felt great full energy and positive.
2nd fast day was Sunday and this time went even better, no headache but also the accompanying full of energy and positive.
Decided as I was working night shift last night that I would have today as a fast day as 1) I would be working 8 hours of today 2) going straight to bed when I got in. Work went absolutely fine, didn't feel hungry at all, however I was so busy and my fluid intake was low. Also having to wait almost 10 hours to get my break wasn't brilliant.
Today I am grumpy and not full of energy. Trying to work out why that might be the case and I think I've worked out the following influencing factors:
1) Too tired, only 4 hours sleep following night shift as I'm back to day shift at 07.30 tomorrow morning and need to turn myself around with a good sleep tonight.
2) Too few fluids through the night, meaning I am feeling more hunger today.
On a slight positive though (even though I'm grumpy) at least I am more in tune with my feelings and knowing why I don't feel as great today. Tomorrow is a feast day and even though I am back to work, it's only a 7.5 hour shift so tomorrow night I can treat myself tomorrow. Tomorrow is my first official weigh in and if my sneaky little peek following my 4 hour sleep is anything to go by, I'm going to be really more than happy tomorrow morning.
