Intermittent Fasting: Day 5



Today was a little different in that I felt hungry from about 8am and on.  Yesterday I didn't get hungry until about an hour from my breakfast.  Although  a little frustrating, I still felt good overall.  Energy and mood are staying high and happy!   

Although I overate at lunchtime by accident (not from eating too fast, just not paying attention to satiety levels), I felt great once the overeating symptoms passed about an hour after.  Overall, this was a very productive day. 

I even had excess energy to go for a spontaneous walk after dinner!


TOTAL FASTING HOURS: 
  • From last night (30 minutes after last meal), until today's break = 16 Hours

I AM BURNING UP HOT.  I don't know if its me, or my building's thermostat.  No one else is complaining of the heat, so it must be me.
 
The feeling of being too full didn't last much longer than an hour.  In fact, I felt much better and higher energy after the uneasiness settled.
