This Week’s Focus: Fasting Challenges

This week, I focused primarily on intermittent fasting. I had planned for a 32-hour fast, but I ended up only managing 26 hours. I felt a strong sense of hunger and, more importantly, a lack of energy, which really started to affect my brain function. I could feel my focus slipping, and my mind wasn’t as sharp as usual, which made it difficult to push through.

Even though I didn’t hit the 32-hour mark, I’m happy with the results. The 26-hour fast still allowed me to stay on track for my September goals, and I feel good about the progress.

September Goal Check

My overall goal for the end of September is to reach 208.75 lbs, which means losing 6.25 lbs this month. With 4 weeks in September, that breaks down to a weekly goal of 1.56 lbs per week.

• Current progress: I’ve dropped 1.6 lbs this week, bringing me down to 213.4 lbs.
• Remaining for September: I need to lose another 4.65 lbs by the end of the month to meet my goal.

Since I’ve already hit my weekly goal for this week, I feel confident that by maintaining this pace and refining my fasting strategy, I’ll be able to hit the 208.75 lbs target by the end of September.

Key Takeaways for Next Week:

1. Keep focusing on intermittent fasting but adjust the fasting window if energy levels dip too low.
2. Pay closer attention to energy levels during fasts—maybe adjust my diet to ensure I’m fueling my body properly before longer fasts.
3. Continue tracking progress regularly to stay motivated and accountable.
