My biggest achievement this week was getting through a 72h fast! I tried a juice fast a long time ago and lasted about 6h before caving in. I have very bad willpower when it comes to food and sugar. I read about fasting and the benefits and decided I needed to give it a try and practice some mind control on myself. I did have 1 avocado at lunch since I’m taking the Prednisone pill and it needs to be taken with food. I also had 1 cup of black coffee in the morning and drank lots of electrolytes throughout the day. I can say that it wasn’t that bad. Had some moments when I felt very hungry, but they passed. I had a lot of energy which surprised me. Probably because my digestion didn’t have to work so much. I will try to do this about once a month, but I’ll have a cup or 2 of bone broth daily. Very proud of myself 🙂
I forgot to tell you that last week I also tried a Hyperbaric Chamber for the first time. It was very relaxing. You just have to pressurize your ears in the beginning and in the end when the pressure builds up and is released. You also have an oxygen mask on when the pressure is on. I was reading and took a short nap in there 🙂 I felt great after. I would totally sign up to do this regularly, but it costs a pretty penny! Have to save up or win the lottery first 🙂
I decided I wanted to go back to full blond mane again. I feel blond is me. For at least a little while now…
In the parking lot I saw a lady parked next to me eyeing my car. When I’m by my car she tells me I have a flat tire! Great! Haven’t had one in a while, but knew I had a spare tire in the trunk. I can do this I thought! Problem was that there was no ‘the thing that raises the car up’ in there. Called a service to come and do it. Waited forever and this was the 2nd day of fasting and considered breaking it and going to a restaurant and pigging out while I wait. Yes, felt a bit sorry for myself hahhahaa… Decided to find some willpower and the guy finally arrived like an hour later.
Turns out that my spare tire is f*cked too! He said it’s somehow mounted on wrong and doesn’t hold air. Luckily the flat tire was able to hold air so I could drive back home with it. Inspected the new blond hair when I finally got home and I love it!
Jennifer Dark was visiting from LA and staying with Angel. We were hanging out a lot. We managed to get some work done too. Can’t reveal too much since it’s for Xmas 🙂
I love Snapchat filters LOL…
Hunter loves Euro chicks too just like me 🙂
Had a good pickleball practice and have managed to hit the gym too and not just get lost playing with balls 😉 In the 2nd picture I’m contemplating if there can be too much pink? Answer: no!
Beautiful day here in Vegas today and that is a call to get yourself outdoors! Quiet, peaceful, warm sun and some coffee, hard to beat! I feel the same peace and reset as I do after a mushroom trip…
So after you do a fast, especially a longer one, you are supposed to ease yourself in with food. I kind of failed at that part. I blame Angel and Jennifer! Last night we drove to Grand Lux Cafe at the Palazzo and picked up freshly made chocolate chip cookies and beignets! My stomach protested pretty hard,, but it didn’t stop me from buying these cinnamon rolls after hiking today and eating 2 in the car before even making it home 🙁 My mind control has a lot to wish for!
Other than that there’s me in the cold plunge, me living in my onesie, some pics from the neighborhood, me less and more clothed and Hunter loving our fur throw 🙂
Will hopefully get a Christmas tree put up this week, got a pickleball clinic tomorrow, and a Christmas party next weekend. And before I forget, it was Finland’s Independence Day yesterday so here you go! Suomi all the way!
Are you in the Holiday spirits yet? Xmas tree up?
Hugs, Puma
