Reached a nice milestone this morning. I made it to the halfway point of my forty day water only fast. Today is Day 20! Also, this afternoon I will need to complete fifteen laps in the gigantor football field sized pool in my complex. That will be thirty-three minutes of swimming.
After losing two pounds per day for the first fifteen days, my weight loss has slowed down to respectable one pound per day. Hey, I’ll take it! I started at 270.8 lbs and am now 235.8 lbs. That’s whopping thirty-five poinds in twenty days! Projections by my health guide is that I will finish around 215 lbs. I have not been this weight since I was twenty-one years old!
Weight loss is actually only my third priority. My first priority is to eliminate the visceral fat in my upper stomach region, which is going great. My second goal is to heal my gut, which is harder to measure. Awesome weight loss is just the cherry on top!
A lot of people asked me if I’m hungry. The truthful answer is that I’m not. A greater desire than eating is to give my mouth some flavor. I have daily cottonmouth from only consuming water, and the highlight of my day is when I brush my teeth. My taste buds love it! That part is kinda funny.
