Had a splurge day Saturday. Family had a little reunion at the lake and it was a lot of fun. Fasted about 18-hours Sunday and 20 yesterday but was still 2-lbs heavier from the weekend. It should go though.
Ran yesterday 2-miles and walked 2.5 and feeling better. Just going real slow tell I get used to it again. Hope to be back to about 5-miles 3xweek by end of the month.1 -
I love reunions and it's good that you're taking it slow, you don't need to be getting sick again 0

Slow and steady, every day not injured is a step forward.0

A lady at work has started a 18:6 IF diet (eats at 2pm). She lost 9 lbs her 1st week. I think she is about 5'2"and about 225lbs? She is really exited about it. She knew what I was doing and studied a bit and made some plans. Her husband is doing it too. I sure hope she can have a lot of success with it and get more people interested. There are a lot of heavy people at work!3

Wow, that's great, Bob! You've planted seeds by example and who knows how many people will grow because of it.

You´d be a great coach Bob best coaches are those who have walked and walk the path! 0

I think we will all influence people when they see us doing something! Had a good day and ran 2.25-miles and walked 3.0-miles after fasting about 19-hrs. Total fast time was about 21-hrs. I burned about 717-kcals according to my watch. That is worth about 9-hrs of fasting according to my BMR so it was really like doing about a 30-hr fast. I did eat 80-cals of starch before the workout. I'm gradually adding distance and pace. Hoping for a new low weight tomorrow!1

Interesting way of looking at it - converting the exercise calories to time to figure out a longer fast time...
I like it - I've actually been thinking about that a bit lately - exercising as a way to ensure that all the liver glycogen (can't remember if it's glycogen, think it is) is burned off during the fast period. Never thought to properly measure it though (who AM I???)0 -

I like to think that when I'm exercising fasted, that the gluconeogensis has to be kicking in big time to provide me the energy so I should really be losing a lot of fat doing that (I've read that process is only 57% efficient so if that is true that is almost 2-cals of fat burned for a cal of exercise in a fasted state). I only ate 80-cals of the starch stuff and then burned 717 cals during the exercise so the starch sure isn't providing the energy!1 -
Was still 204 this morning. I really need a digital scale to get more resolution on it!
Not a good day. I took a vitamin at about 9:00 am. Was starving by 10 am (I think it was the vitamin). Went and ate lunch cause I was too hungry and couldn't concentrate at work. Had a foot long tuna sandwhich at subways with everything on it (900 cals). That hardly phased me. Then had some nuts and sunflower seeds (about 1000-cals worth), then a hersheys candy bar (300 cals), then some krispy cookies (300 cals) and a diet coke. Finally felt satisfied. Haven't eaten much since been home (couple of tomatoes so the overall day calories wasn't too bad (2700 cals maybe with TDEE of about 2300 so went over a little). I will not eat a vitamin like that on an empty stomach again!1 -
Friend called me over tonight wanting to clean his freezer out in anticipation of the hunting season coming up. He gave me 100+lbs of elk already wrapped and frozen! We had run out so that was very nice!1

Did not know we burn more fat exercising while in a fasted state?
Does elk taste similar to deer?0 -

Yep. If you exercise with food in your belly, it uses the food energy rather than your fat stores for energy. Some people find they need something to give them more energy like starches and such, whereas others find that the fasted energy is enough to get them through. Fasted energy is enough for me, more than enough and it feels awesome. It's really an individual thing though. You can find IFers all over the web who, regardless of how tough their workouts are, fall in either category.

Bob, at least you maintained so that's a plus. You're a machine when it comes to running, any damage you've done will be erased soon. Heck, might even have the scale moving in the down direction. Maybe you needed that massive re-feeding.
I can't take vitamins in an empty stomach either. Makes me feel queasy for some reason, probably because there's nothing to soak it up. Lol
Enjoy your Elk meat. Same question as Brenda, is it similar to venison? Or is it more game-y?

You will balance that out real quick!0

I think we do burn more from the reasoning I put forth. Problem is bonking though. I can't do a hard workout without taking something before it after fasting all day.
Elk isn't as gamey as deer (deer out west anyways that eat sagebrush etc.) but I like the gamey taste (some don't). I think more people would like elk as compared to deer because of that. I really like both. It is very lean. He said it was a young cow so should be very tender.2 -

I like the gamey taste in the deer steaks but not so much in the deer burger...Yes it should be tender for sure 0 -
OMG fresh elk meat is delicious! I guess we know what you'll be eating for a while!0

Ran 2.75-miles and walked 3.5-miles. About 820 calories. I use my GPS watch and set an alarm for the allowed pace I go. I'm slowly increasing the pace and adding distance.0

This last week weight loss was 0-lbs. Stayed about the same. I probably did lose about 1/2-lb but hard to tell on analog scale. Fasted Fri, Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed and had big eating days Sat (family reunion) and Thurs (vitamin deal). I may switch back to running in the mornings for another month or more cause it is still very hot in the afternoons here. If I do, that will effect the diet on run days. I'm ok with it though as long as I'm not gaining and still slowly losing. I'm also having trouble concentrating at work when fasting all day. I will have to figure out what to do about that. Good luck all this next week!0

Happy week Bob! you are in maintenance right? so no major drop is good?0

I still want to lose but I'm probably going to eat early on Mon, Wed, Fri (workout days) and fast on Tues,Thurs, Sun. Saturdays depends on what I'm doing. I should be able to not gain any weight and hopefully lose a little. Thanks.
