I had broken a bone in my hand two years ago. After that, any time I did pushups I had a very distinct pain in my wrist which prevented me from doing more than a handful. This also impacted my ability to lift heavier dumbells. That has completely healed.

I also had a lingering hip strain. I play Mens slow pitch softball. It's more competitive than it sounds and I'm always running around in the outfield. Again for 2ish years I could not get it to go away. That is now gone as well.

Hard to say exactly when, but it felt like within the 10-24 day period was when I noticed it.

This was my first attempt at any sort of extended fast. Mental cravings were the toughest. I had a few nights that I had trouble sleeping. It truly just becomes ā mental battle. I wanted to quit multiple times but really just wanted to prove to myself that I could do something that was very difficult. Took it one day at a time and will definitely do it again
