Your Body Changes Once You Start Eating Healthy — Day 75

3 min readMay 14, 2021

I woke up really early today, eager to prepare myself for the challenges that were to come. To be honest, I should have tried to sleep for longer, but I was so focused on getting my day figured out that I would have just ended up lying in bed awake. Getting to tonight’s workout without eating will give me some peace of mind, and I should be able to sleep soundly after that.

Work was pretty much the same as yesterday. I was productive for the most part, but I started feeling hungry a bit earlier than before. One of my mates noticed that I was feeling a little uneasy, and I told him that I was essentially starving myself in order to lose weight. He commended my dedication to getting fit, but suggested that I try to ease my way into fasting, instead of going all out at once. I’m probably still going to go through with my plans for today, but he did make a very good point.

I was going to keep myself occupied after helping my mate out by going on a run, but I feared I might be overcome by temptation if I happened to pass by a restaurant. For a while, I tried reading, doing some chores, and meditating, but my hunger made it impossible to focus. I ended up just blasting loud music for a while as I sat on the floor of my home office. To my wife, I must have looked like I was performing some odd ritual.

I did make it to my workout in the end, but that was pretty much all I had to be proud of. I barely had any energy to exercise as intensely as I would have liked and didn’t even manage to finish all of my sets. It wasn’t a terrible effort, but I’m definitely going to have to make up for it tomorrow. At least dinner was delicious. One good thing about fasting is that it makes you really appreciate the taste of food.
