HAPPY FRIDAY EVE!

Day 3 of the 3 Day Fast

Definitely ahead of schedule with my typical points for a fast. For me that is – yesterday, I already began to feel a moment of clarity

Less carbs means my system flushed faster during the fast?

First full day of the 3 Day Fast – it’s the easy one. Body hasn’t caught on yet to what you’re doing to it. Until you come home and smell dinner and it smells so good. Can’t eat until 5:55PM on Thursday.

LoCARB & MEATY MAY is easy these next 3 days

Workouts – I was going to run today, but yesterday and today are tough days for work, so I chose to skip it. I’m hoping to do another regular workout tomorrow – trying to build up my strength for the push-up challenge. I am improving! Arms don’t hurt any more during my sleeping position – the army crawl?

PODCAST TUESDAY!

Haven’t been able to listen as much as I typically would. Lately, I have been working with someone, so that eliminates all my podcast time in the car. AND – I don’t want to entirely put them through all of my philosophies of life.

Audio books are another form of podcast and I hit a wall there too, but for a different reason. Typically, I listen to those around the house on the weekends. The book that I got stuck on was Will Smith’s. I stopped. I just couldn’t. Still don’t quite understand all of that. Anyway, just this morning, I went in and picked another audiobook that I had purchased months ago and have no idea why. Steven Kotler – The Art of the Impossible
