Water Fast Day 1

This is a late post because I started my fast yesterday but I figured I'd make the post anyways to tell you how it was starting and I'll make another post later today after I've gone through most of the day and weigh myself. 

The Down Low

Today(yesterday), I started my water fast. I'm doing this not solely to lose weight but to detox my body so I can have a clean start to a healthier life style. I've done the master cleanse before and that was pretty easy overall but constantly buying lemons and the (damn expensive) organic grade b maple syrup was too much of a chore. Anndd I was in school so I didn't want to walk around guzzling dirty pee yellow juice and rushing to the bathroom between every class only to not feel healthier after it was all over with. That aside my boyfriend suggested a water fast. He's read books on it and has done it before so I trusted his opinion enough to suffer. He and I were on polar opposite sides of the health spectrum when we met but I've gotten better.

The Plan

I don't have a specific plan for my fast. This being my first official one my goal is 5 days but that could change depending on if I get sick early on or feel super amazing on day 5. I also didn't prepare to fast like most people do by only eating light and fresh foods or drinking juice for the few days prior. My last meal consist of meat loaf, mashed potatoes, broccoli, and garlic bread.

Day 1

Throughout the day I actually felt completely fine. I didn't drink tons of water. I would sip some when I felt the urge to eat but that was all I needed. I had slight hunger pains here and there but that was mainly from having to cook food for my brother and not eat any of it and going to my aunts house and watching them eat but I was okay. I wasn't any more tired than usual and didn't feel sick at all. So far so good.

I weighed myself the day before I started and I was 123lbs NAKED and by my first night on it I was 119lbs FULLY CLOTHED. So keep in mind numbers will be slightly off depending on what I am or am not wearing. But I lost 4 pounds my first day(woop woop). I'm not sure if I'll post my day 2 tonight or tomorrow morning but I'll keep you updated.If you have any questions feel free to ask,
