Monday RUN 3 miles with LA
This post kinda overlaps with the previous, this one coming in on Monday after it all.
After a bad afternoon Thursday, I set out on the goal of a 72 hour fast. LA was out of town, leaving me to experiment. The first 24 hours ended as I'm driving home from work and the HABIT pull of dinner was immense. But phone call, dog walk, bed - and I'm fine.
Saturday I'm fine too. 129.2! Busy Bee. Distracted though and watching the clock celebrating the hours as they tick past. Then at 48 hours, it's amazing. I'm not hungry. but I'm very low energy. I feel fragile, and I act fragile. I'm consuming salt/electrolytes and fiber only. But I'm dehydrated, I think. Bed.
Sunday I'm not so fine. Dehydrated, yes. But 131.6. Salt? I wake up at 59-60 hours and I think about how I usually run. I have the mental urge to run or bike by the physical urge was actually less than zero, haha. Time crawled by slowly. Again, I feel weak. I feel as if I'm out-of-body, lifting someone else's arms get a cup from the shelf. I feel like I can't bend over, like I'm underwater, and the feeling in my face - like I'm going to cry? Around 9am, I'm so distracted, I convince myself that a few walnuts with butter is OK.
And so ended the fast, and the conveyor belt came on. Once I started I didn't stop until noon, and I ended up now too full and sick, but still weak and no motivation? I didn't eat much carbs, oatmeal (ugh, I'm eating oatmeal again) (and there was some M of the oats too) and after reading oatmeal is relatively low insulinogenic I suddenly think it's OK. Ugh.
Anyway, at noon I decided that I could start a 36 hours, realized my bad math and adjusted to 30, then re-adjusted as I kept nibbling unnecessarily. I woke up today 132.6. More ugh. But I feel no stomach swelling or pain! So now, in a 24 going until tonight. I'm hungry, kinda, but don't need or want food, so it's not hunger -- it's habit.
What happened Sunday morning. Well, first, I did a 63 hour fast!!!!! WOW!!!! It was a big jump from the previous 24-ish I've been doing, so while I didn't hit the goal I am super happy with that. What caused the crash on Sunday? I think I had the so-called keto flu. The fatigue, emotional stuff, weakness - all kinda fit the bill. I've retooled my macros do decrease protein from 35% to 20%, a change of 105g/day to 60g. I'm wondering if it was too much to get into ketosis.
Not that ketosis is my goal. Or is it? I'm not going to be measuring. Yesterday I guesstimated 83-14g of carbs, net... just under 70 grams... It's possible I went into ketosis, came back out a little bit, but then while running this morning the same facial "gonna cry"/no motivation/time warp feelings were back. So am I in ketosis?
Meal plan today: 3 eggs, WF yogurt, walnuts, butter, 150g strawberry, string cheese, fiber powder.
37g carbs, 52g protein, 62g fat, 13g fiber.
16% carbs, 23% protein, 61% fat. Goal 15, 23, 61.
This will keep or put into ketosis.
Is that the goal? Research more into keto flu. I'm eager to try the fast again, all morning I was smiling about 63 hours!!
Oh, and my house is SO CLEAN, my to do list so EMPTY.
