Anyways I did fast for 18:30 hours, and then I ate lunch, and the cookies, and some more sugary carbs - in fact I managed to go over my calorie goals in just 2:30 hours. No regrets though, I mentally needed that sugar #period
Was a bit lethargic afternoon but that's to be expected, it went away quickly, got to the gym for a laid back fasted workout. I'm nearly 8 hours into my fast now and I plan to make it last over 24, tomorrow evening I'm going out with friends so my eating window will slightly shift and expand to include dinner, which it doesn't normally include.
Still finding how to make this a sustainable routine.
Well that's it today
I was surprised that I wasn't super hungry until that meal, seeing as I just started my period and usually I'm ravenous during my periods, ready to eat everything in the fridge. So that's good I guess.
I started the fast at 18:00 after a few dark chocolate squares, so now I'm about 2 and a half hours into the fast.
I think tomorrow I'll try to eat a bit more in my eating window. I have iron deficiency (I take iron supplements, part of why I'm not planning on extended fasting) and for obvious reasons it's worse during my period. So my aim is basically to try to not feel tired af.
I assume I'll eat tomorrow at 12:00 noon unless something weird happens, so that would be 18 hours of fast.
