Week : 45

How is the weekend going?

What was your very last dream all about?

Previous Week : https://devrant.com/rants/10742030

Quite good, actually! Yesterday got patio chairs for my balcony - now I can start my mornings by sipping coffee there! And in the evening I did a stupid fuckup - used too long drywall anchors for the clothes' drying hanger, slept it off and today fixed my mistake and bought'n'used the right ones. I just hope the drywall ceiling will withstand ~10-15kg of wet clothes [8 anchors on 2 hanger holders]

overall, I'm very happy how this renovation is coming together! Finally a usable balcony rather than a storage space with a decent view

and you?

Today I dreamt about work, each new ticket that were assigned to us we must close it immediately and do nothing more.

@netikras Find the timbers and screw into those?

I'm fasting and I might be regretting my life

oddly didn't have any dreams last night. was sleepy last night which is strange, slept 4 hours, cat woke me up for food, now can't fall asleep and the hunger seems to have faded and now instead I think food is gross and I'm nauseas (which happens from hunger for me sometimes)

this is fine

maybe I shouldn't have went straight for 3 days fasting. oh well I'm on this train now and I'm stubborn

also my body feels fatigued as fuck. I mean I guess it's kinda fun. trying to remember how long I'd go without food as a child but I don't think I ever tracked it

maybe I need electrolytes. cuz I shriveled like a prune the first while 🤔, and my lips are all dry despite me drinking over 2 liters of water a day
also now I get dizzy getting up, like I sunbathed on my deck for 30 minutes and got dizzy getting up, or in the mornings lol

right now is hour 41 and I'm going to 72. wheeee

@donkulator there's no timber. It's an old soviet "lego" building, built out of blocks (250cm/x250cm). And the mortar is melting (these buildings were built to be torn down like 20-30 years ago already). I was scared to my bones to drill those few holes In the balcony upstairs to fix my ceiling to.....

@jestdotty don't give up! The first 3 days are the hardest. THen it gets much easier. THe hunger is no more and the energy boost is unbelievable!.

Make sure to stay well hydrated and have those vitamin/microelement drinks -- keep your running body on hydroponics.

I'm starting aggressive fasting session myself (planning to have a 1-1.5month run, maybe more if I'll manage to not give in to the temptation of my veggies when they ripe)

@netikras I broke it. was getting too lightheaded progressively and it freaked me out. found r/fasting. I don't even want weight loss I have "long COVID" from the vaccine and wanted autophagy and to fix my immune system...

but I didn't know you need electrolytes. gonna do another plan

drank some Gatorade but it's sugary and it only fixed the lightheaded for a few minutes. ate a can of tuna and now my body is warm, brain kind of hurts but I'll probably be fine now. my brain was lazy last night and confused this morning. I think inflammation reduced at 24-30 hours though, and turns out mice fasting 24 hours improves natural killer cells, which is something the vaccine reduces. so I'm gonna guess I can do 24 hours fasts and maybe don't need long ones, and try to eat a lot of electrolytes beforehand and do 24-30h fasting like once a week

my bf fasts 3-4 days and doesn't get lightheaded or tired -.-, and doesn't do electrolytes. idk why my body keeps having electrolyte issues -.-

@jestdotty it's just a slip, no biggie :)

light-headedness - I actually like it 😁 like being drunk w/o spending a dime and.. Legally 😁to avoid fainting I just bend down just enough to reach my knees and stay there for a few seconds. It shaves the peak off.

@netikras nooo it was seriously dangerous lol... I feel way better now

can of tuna is 60 calories and the Gatorade is 140. rip

lightheadedness bad. I was gonna pass out laying in my bed this morning, got worse and worse. no go.

gonna go buy some mushrooms and spinach and stirfry them later

I have full body wide inflammation and evidently that causes your body to excrete electrolytes faster and also absorb them less. which is ironic cuz I wanted to do fasting to fix the inflammation lol

I don't dream...

I can’t fast. I skipped dinner now I’m stuffing a cantina chicken burrito from Taco Bell down my face

@Nikolas0508 you said the same thing in a few posts. Do us a favor and say you’re not a bot.
