After a summer of indulgence, it’s not unlike me to have put on a few pounds and re-adapted a few bad dietary habits…and due to this and a lot less physical activity this summer, I had to go pick me up some fat pants last week to bridge the interim.
Worse yet…I was offered a seniors discount!
Of course I took it, because I’m frugal and I was vouched for by an kind elderly lady behind me in line.
There are some mixed emotions in this.

Moving right along…
I’ve been on a water fast since Thursday Evening, which will end at 7PM this evening for a full 72 hours of fasting.
And it’s been terrible!
I used to try and do a 4-5 day water fast quarterly, but haven’t done one in a while and forgot about all of the terrible things that happen in this time.
Brain fog;
Muscle Weakness;
Headaches;
And while the hunger thing is easily overcome, for some reason, it always seems like my wife will spend my entire fast cooking up bacon…Grrrrrrrrrrr!
I do these for a few reasons, mostly being for a reduction in chronic inflammatory pain - arthritis - that explodes with regular consumption of hotdog & burger buns, pizza and cold beers on a hot summer day. Time to get back with my clean diet…shave off a few pounds and fit back into my Not-Fat Pants.
So…tonight, I will close this 72 hour, water (&coffee) only fast, with a great big steak, medium rare.
Weather seems like it will be cooperating…barbecuing and dining…and while a cold beer won’t be a part of the meal, I’m looking forward to diving into a large slab of dead cow!
Hope you all walk into the end of the weekend and another new week taking advantage of the day!
"full 72 hours of fasting" - Dude you are hardcore. I do the intermittent fasting (eat from noon to 6 PM) about 4-5 days a week but that's it.
Your wife is evil in a way I love and I'm sure you do too. Decades ago my weight got too high for my liking (200+) I told my wife that "I'm going on a diet tomorrow". She comes home that evening with 6 freaking Nanaimo Bars. AAARRRRRGGGGGG. LOL.
Go Carnivore. Two month anniversary for me in four days and have never done anything easier in my life eating wise and I’ve tried it all.
