Fasting - Day Two


110.2 pounds, for anyone worried I might be wasting away. I was so exhausted yesterday I went to bed at quarter to 7. Which would have worked out really well, but when I woke up an hour and half later to use the bathroom, my roommate had the TV on so loud I couldn't get back to sleep for a while. Seriously, who actually watches opera? Anyway, still tired today. Pretty light-headed, on and off. Little bit of heartburn and nausea. Spent a little time lying in the sun, and the rest lying in bed. And that's about as productive as I got. Still hungry, and oddly obsessed with the thought of artichokes. Not sure where that's coming from. Got my blood panel back today. Only four things that were outside of normal ranges, and none of them very far. Still waiting on the Vitamin D results. The water's been tasting a bit funky, which it wasn't before, so I don't know if that's my mouth or what. When I brought it up they got me some fizzy water, so I drank a bottle. Yep, still really hate fizzy stuff. I'd take the bad taste any day. Oh, and my lower back has started hurting. Not sure if that's because I've spent all day in bed, or because my kidneys are protesting. Anything's possible. My headaches have been less frequent, but I have been lying down all day.  And that's about it. Within the next day or so I should be switching over to burning keotones instead of glucose, so hopefully I won't be hungry anymore. Apparently a few lucky people don't get that lovely side effect. Here's hoping.

You are wasting away. Or wasting a day. Or something.

Keep up the good (non)work!

So . . . are you cranky? :) I'm trying to get up the courage to call.
