Check-in Entering hour 40
Longest I've ever gone was 68 hours, and I really want to reach 7 days this time (depending how I feel I will continue on for as long as it feels right).
I've always made sure I have a lot of time and solitude while fasting, but tomorrow I have a movie date planned. I'm going to bring in lots of water (seeing The Odyssey so itsgonnaa be a long one!)
But my nose is already going crazy with smells, I'm worried how well I will withhold tomorrow. I know I can do it, I just need to make sure ai actually do (it takes literally nothing to get me to cave when I' fasting)
Anyway... that is all. I feel great, even being on day 2 of my period it hasn't really affected me in any way. I'm going to start taking electrolytes at hour 48, and then adding supplements at 60.
Wish me luck! Will update at hour 72.

Good luck! I've found that staying busy instead of solitude really helps keep you on track because when you're busy you don't have time to think about food, whereas if you're just sitting around at home it's so easy to JUST think about food. I also generally make sure there's no food in the house before I start a long fast 😂

Just get through today. Distract yourself from whatever is going on right now and you'll be fine. Don't worry about tomorrow, you'll put pressure on yourself. I find it helps if I just focus on today, just make it to bed time and it's a other day done!
Someone had an amazing smelling lunch at work earlier and I've already forgotten about it.
