Day 22 - Fasting - 80.8 kg
Sunday 9th November 2008
Three weeks down and I’m sitting a bit above 80kg. Apparently I’ve moved 2 kg up from 78.8 kg on Wednesday to 80.8 kg today! I simply have no understanding of these day to day weight fluctuations and can really only put any faith in the trendline on the weight log graph. Unfortunately, the trendline needs a few days worth of data to even out. In any case, the trendline has taken on a nice steep slope since I started alternate day fasting compared to when I was only going to the gym. I think I can confidently say I’m losing at least 1kg per week (maybe 1.5kg).
I spent the whole day programming again, and found it extremely hard not to eat. The brain needs a whole lot of energy when it’s working hard. I tried to compensate with liquids, drinking water and tea almost continuously - I must have had 10 cups of herbal tea! Later in the evening, I started nibbling on some cheese, then found a raw carrot and a cucumber to eat. I kept working until about 3am and was very hungry when I went to bed.
