It's Day 22 of Dax's challenge. I fasted again, today. I found it a lot easier this time than the first time, four days ago. I drank plenty of water and today, I had herbal tea - something I did not have last time. Having something warm to drink was soothing (and filling somehow) to my stomach. Although the fast was easier, by about 3pm I could have eaten a horse; another 4 hours before I could actually eat anything.
When I got home from work, I did my workout. It went okay, but I definitely felt like I did not have as much energy as usual.
After that, I thoroughly enjoyed my first meal of the day. Some chicken chorizo, ground pork, onions, green pepper and spinach. Very tasty!
I let my food settle and was just about to start my last workout when all of a sudden, I had to hit the bathroom, quickly! Ugh, my stomach feels bad now - I don't know if it was something I ate, or something I didn't eat (seeing as I was fasting most of the day). Either way, that last workout is not getting done tonight. Bummer!
Instead, I will have an early night, let my stomach settle (hopefully) and hit it hard tomorrow.
Here's to a better day tomorrow! Goodnight!

Petra,
ReplyDeleteat least the fast was easier then the first, and the last few hours seem to drag on, for me as well... I also had it happen that I got diarrhia right after eating, which almost seems like my body is trying to get rid of everything in it to start over again. It never felt really bad for me though, more like a new beginning food wise.
I hope you are much better today, sorry your day ended so bad!
May be more bland choices after fasting? something simple (chicken/fish with a few veggies?)
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better today xx
Thanks Annette! I did not have this reponse last time, but boy it got me good this time, but i am feeling much better today.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah! Hmm, your right. Maybe I should eat more bland food. In fact, I even added some chilie pepper to my dinner. I actually wondered whether it was the herbal tea that caused my reaction. That was the only thing that was different this time.
Omg that's horrible. I had that same thing happen to me one morning. Really messed up my workout, but just made it up a diff time. Hope you're feeling much better today.
