I have never in my life ever done a 24 hour fast.
I feel like me and fasting just don’t get along, that’s just not what we do. I’m not the type to “forget to eat” (wtf is THAT?!), and I like to have regularly timed meal intervals. Generally every 3 hours, like the good bodybuilder that I am.
So..why am I doing this. I guess…I am interested in stretching my limits. And seeing what I can tolerate. To demonstrate my inner strength. And also I hope to witness the transitory nature of hunger, and explore any emotions that may come up as I engage in my first ever (and perhaps last) 24 hour fast.
Recap:
Actually, this is a pretty uneventful recap. It went surprisingly well! I didn’t have to wrestle with too much hunger or emotions. I think the fact that I took a rest day made it easier for me to get through it. I had no caffeine, no workout, no food. But…somehow it wasn’t so wretched. It felt like a normal day. I guess it was a normal day. It was only 24 hours– water only– so maybe if I had done longer than 24 hours, it might have been much “worse”…but I guess I am kind of impressed with myself for going 24 hours without food, and I am glad it wasn’t too tough. I don’t know if I would want to go through it again…but the challenge for the day was completed, and I made it through 😉
