Intermittent Fasting: Day 12

I felt very different today, and unfortunately, not in a good way.  I think it may be due to my monthly, but I am not sure, because my app had to be reloaded and I can't figure out my password to restore the data.  Go figure!

I woke up feeling like I hadn't slept, and this was the first time I hadn't woken for some reason or another in the night.  I felt very emotional and high anxiety (tightness in chest).  Later that night, laying in bed, I told my husband about my feelings of anxiety.  Great bedroom talk, right? 

Shortly after he fell asleep, I laid there thinking about it, when I suddenly had the wave rush over my body, and my anxiety completely disappeared!  The tightness in chest was gone, everything disappeared.  I was able to fall asleep.

I don't understand what happened, but it felt nothing short of a miracle to have that feeling disappear in time for me to sleep soundly.

• From last night (30 minutes after last meal), until today's break = 16.5 Hours
