My weight change is 41.3 pounds in 54 days. Today is day 54 of the 90 day water fast. Today’s weight change is 1.6 pounds. I will get back to that. We started at 228 pounds and now we are down to 187.3 pounds.

How do I feel? I feel great. I really do.

Yesterday I gained 0.5 pounds. Today I am down 1.6 pounds. So as far as I am concerned, I reached equilibrium with the water. It is just gonna fluctuate like that going forward. That is expected. So I am happy about where I am at with my weight.

With regard to why I feel great, lots of reasons. First of all, I am finally eating some food. My broth with the soft vegetables is filling me up. I walk away from the table content that I have enough food in me. Before, when it was just the broth, I was like, wow, I got to the end, geez, now I will see you tomorrow kind of thing, right? So I am happy about that.

With regard to water, I am drinking about less than a gallon. I do not think the water has shifted much.

I am sleeping a lot better. In fact, I do not take any naps during the day anymore. I used to take naps, 20 minute, 30 minute naps, just to reengage with life I suppose. Now I got enough energy to keep me going. I get about seven to eight hours of sleep at night. I close my eyes and I wake up and it is like wow, it is amazing. The amount of energy that I have just keeps me going during the day without any problems. So that is good.

So the question is what am I going to be doing going forward? Well, of course I am gonna finish off the broth. Next week we add protein to it, we add protein all week and after that we add starch. So that is for the next two, three weeks. Not a problem.

But what do I do going forward from there? I am gonna give you guys a clue. What I am looking into and trying to get more information on is habits. I am gonna change all my habits. I know they say change one at a time and it is easier. That is not the way I am gonna drive this thing home.

I am gonna try and figure out exactly why I am making these changes. The changes I am talking about are eating. When to eat, what to eat, how much of it do I need to eat, what is gonna work for me. Exercise. What kind of exercise should I be doing at my age that is going to benefit me? How do I keep burning visceral fat while I eat? Why do I exercise, what kind of exercise is that and what time should I be doing that exercise? Back to sleeping. What kind of time do I need to keep sleeping?

So I am gonna be looking at all that to make all those changes and then follow a strict regimen to see how that works out. More on that to follow.

That being said, I am gonna let you guys go. You have a wonderful day. I will see you next time. Cheers.
