24 hours down... how many to go?

142 last night right after the binge.
139.5 this morning.
I'm relieved that I didn't break 140 for more than a few hours.
24 hours without food, 138.5.

I had 30 calories today in the form of half a can of Orange Melon Starbucks Refreshers Energy Drink (had the other half yesterday). Besides that, black coffee and water.
Almost made and consumed a full batch of pancakes. Didn't. Success.

I'm hoping to drop down to 137 tomorrow morning. I dunno. We'll see.
If I can drink another two bottles of water and a mug or two of green tea with lemon before bed, I think I should get there.
Then it's just 4 more pounds until food. Probably a 72 hour fast in total. I think the longest I've gone is 56-ish hours, but that was with dance. Given the lack of exercise that's been happening recently, I don't think I'll have a problem making it to 72.
If it takes longer than 72, fine. Not another piece of food will pass my lips until I see 133 on the scale.
And then food which will be carefully planned, controlled, and spaced throughout the day, because we all know if I start eating without a plan, I won't stop until it hurts.
I'm thinking a 1250 calorie deficit a day--that will make me lose 2.5 pounds a week. So if I don't exercise at all, I get to eat ((BMR*1.2)-1250)=370 calories. More if I exercise.

  1. Oooh, I got a real live mention!!!
    I'm feeling special now.
    Literally glowing. :)

    72 hours fasting is a long time.
    I'd get SOOO dizzy. I already do every time I stand up too fast.
    Just be careful with it, k?

  2. haha. my pleasure :D
    the longest i've gone fasting (and i do mean WATER fasting) is 2 weeks. yes i'm bragging, it's pretty much the accomplishment i'm most proud of in my life. but the point is that honestly, the first 3 days are the hardest. it's a piece of cake after that. (of course, exercise as little as possible during the fast or you'll never last)
    do be careful when you break your fast though - that's always where i screw up. i maybe do well the first few days of reintroducing food, but then i go mad and i get food poisoning. i've passed out in the bathroom because of that. *good times*
    i am not trying to scare you at all and i wish you good luck! fasts are so rewarding.

  3. Good luck with the next 48. These days my blood sugars can't hold up for more than a day of fasting. 72hrs and I'd be comatose, hah.

    Stay as safe as you can dear.
    Keep us updated!

    Stay strong
