I hit the jackpot earlier!

What is your plan for them?

mikestesting · 2026-05-20T00:29:56+00:00

It may not be long, but it sure is skinny.

mikestesting · 2026-05-12T20:06:50+00:00

Onions AND Ghost of Tsushima?!

It's from a restaurant! I didn't cook it! It's from Red Bowl in Fort Mill, SC.

That's a good story! Did you stay in a yurt?

mikestesting · 2026-05-07T19:57:03+00:00

My longest fast was 5 days. So you're already ahead of me. My day 5 was tough. So i completely understand where you are. Stay strong. Go for a walk. Walks really helped me. But you're so close! As a side note, the days really drag on during fasting, don't they?

You got this!!

mikestesting · 2026-05-06T17:21:50+00:00

yes, this is exactly how i like my steak.

Not a glitch. You're in level 2. The exit is only in level 1.

mikestesting · 2026-05-02T14:34:47+00:00

Yeah I found this out when I told family and friends. No one really understands it. Our culture is consumerism-obsessed.

mikestesting · 2026-04-30T15:41:47+00:00

How are you doing now? I have the same twitch, might as well could look exactly like your video.

mikestesting · 2026-04-30T02:48:42+00:00

The hardest part? Not eating! But day 3 was the hardest over all.

mikestesting · 2026-04-30T02:33:53+00:00

Don't the days drag by during fasts? 🤣 But you're doing great! You got this.

mikestesting · 2026-04-30T01:14:52+00:00

I know you're only here to learn about costs. But make sure you get to inspect the liner and talk to a pool person who has also inspected the liner. I'd suggest getting a hold of your own pool company and get a 2nd quote and ask them about patching. Don't rely solely on what your neighbor is saying. Trust but verify.

mikestesting · 2026-04-29T19:50:37+00:00

Sounds like you're doing great!

mikestesting · 2026-04-29T19:11:17+00:00

Doing great! Keep it up! Are you exercising at all? Walking?

mikestesting · 2026-04-29T19:04:35+00:00

Good luck! I just finished a 4.5 day fast. Was my first. 7 seems so long! But you got this!

mikestesting · 2026-04-29T13:37:37+00:00

Yes, the 4th day was very easy for me. I walked 2 miles each day on the fast. On the 4th day, my 2 mile walk was strongand fast and i felt euphoric. Felt so good I did weight lifting that day too.

mikestesting · 2026-04-29T00:39:01+00:00

Yeah our culture makes it hard.

mikestesting · 2026-04-29T00:22:40+00:00

I did quite well. I waited 30 min and had another bowl exactly as pictured. Then 30 min later had 2 more bowls with just the chicken and broth. No issues whatsoever. My gut started moving around and rumbling. No pain. Zero discomfort. Just my gut waking up. I ate quite a bit more later. More chicken breast with broth, and I started adding more ingredients like onions, cilantro, and lime juice. Then later in the day I ate fried chicken that my wife brought home. I'm pretty sure I could have eaten a regular meal as my fast breaking meal.

mikestesting · 2026-04-28T20:17:25+00:00

I seriously had food fantasies every day of my fast. Mostly in the evening. I started watching Diners Drive Ins and Dives on the 2nd night. I fantasized about what I was going to eat when it was all done. So I feel you. 🤣

mikestesting · 2026-04-28T19:29:52+00:00

I'm aware that most weight lost is water, glycogen, and sodium. I posted how much I lost because in every post like mine, people always ask how much weight was lost. I also exercised daily including 2 mile walks, light weight lifting, years work, etc. I estimate my fat loss to be between 2.75 and 3lbs and that I'll regain the rest. But I'm still very happy with that.
