Day 8 – 175.4 lbs – Carnivore
WooHoo!!! I have officially made it through the first week of my plan successfully!
I am thankful God has helped me stay strong through this past week. This would be so much more difficult relying just on my own will power!
Today is a non work day, and so my plan is to go to the gym with my daughter this morning, clean house, visit family this afternoon and then attend a church meeting tonight. Just finishing 2 days of fasting, today is a Carnivore day, so normally I would have a few eggs before going to the gym.
But after what I am assuming was a reaction to eggs on Thursday night, I am staying far away from eggs for now. So I will do a light workout in a fasted state, and then when I get home, I will have broth with thin beef. I will chew the beef very well and eat slow, and hopefully my esophagus will be good after a few days of rest.
Update – 10 am.
I had a great workout! I chose appropriate weights for the fact that I haven’t worked out in a very long time, so they were lighter then I would have chosen in the past, but it felt so good to be back in the gym. I don’t know why I had quit going!
When I got back home, I heated up some beef broth and added thin beef slices. I think it’s an Asian thing, at least there was Asian writing on the container. Very thin sliced beef rolled up and frozen. I bought them once on a whim, and then didn’t know what to do with them. Then, recently, I was at a gathering and some Filipinos brought these beef rolls for in soup! They said all you need to do is cook them in a bit of broth. That was perfect for today, breaking a two day fast, I was a little nervous about eating meat. I didn’t want it to get stuck in my esophagus again. These were nice and thin plus I chewed slowly and chewed well….and everything is good.
Outcome:
Today was a great day. The beef broth and beef slices were really good. For supper I had a burger and some A2 cheese. I am hoping that since most people with dairy allergies can have A2 milk, that might be ok for me to have without a reaction. I guess I will find out!
Tomorrow is another fasting day. Praying all goes well! I enjoyed my food today, but wasn’t hungry for it. Hopefully fasting will keep getting easier if I am doing it every few days.
