Why are you doing it in the first place, like what's the goal?
Are you testing your willpower or is it vanity?
As mentioned I'm doing this for health reasons. I'm in my late 40's and need to take care of myself from here on out.
- Gut health. I suffer chronic stomach aches. I want it gone, and I think it's been cured. This is also linked to handling eczema, which I have, and it's been quite successful.
- Dispose of bodily toxins.
- Liver maintenance. As we age the liver gets fatty, it's why we put on weight as we age. This improves the liver's health.
- Appearance. This is simply another perk to looking after oneself. Though it isn't the driving factor as to why I'm doing this. I'm also done chasing tail so it's not like I'm interested in attracting a bunch of women.
The reason why I started doing this, as mentioned earlier, a friend said he wanted to do it. I said okay then we'll do it together. He dropped out within the first week while I just kept going. I know what I'm capable of and I knew I'd break the day 15 mark. I also learned some things along the way. If I do this again it'll be very short. Like 7 days a month, it's not nice going this long. My trip to the grocery store will be interesting cause I'm getting a whole lot of food alongside my watermelon.
Between my last post and now, I tried to sleep, but instead laid there for hours, not even tired. I pissed twice, drank twice and also took the electrolyte supplement and I feel normal, except different. My body isn't as it was on the 29th of October.
Do I think it's worth it ? I wouldn't want what's been done to be undone. The process really sucks though. I have fantasies of eating italian sausage on kaiser buns done up properly. I think I've been weakened, lost some muscle, but I must train when I start eating again, especially since I'm be having some of that white bread and rice. Maybe some pasta and noodles. Just not as much.
