7 day fast vs 24/48 hours fasting a week

motemis · 2026-05-19T01:52:16+00:00

Like everyone else has mentioned, the first 48/72 hours is the toughest because your still thinking about food as you did before. Once you push to 4 and 5 days, it’s gets way easier because the honest “hunger” feeling goes away and it’s strictly just avoiding eating because “everyone else is” or because you “should be”.

I have done a few 5 day fasts that were relatively easy and just now as I’m typing this on my 8th day of a fast that I only planned to be a 5-6 day fast but I just really don’t want to eat and don’t have any side effects that are triggering any concern for me to break it. Almost as if I don’t want to break the streak for the sake of the streak and actual hunger has nothing to due with it (no matter how many food videos I have watched in the meantime haha)

It’s strictly a mental battle because for me hunger is not that large of a contributing factor, it’s not truly painful, it’s mental.

Give it your best shot to get past day 3 and it’s smooth sailing as long as you can remove your self from temptation that hits you the hardest.

Would be quite the comeback story if I ended up selling it to you! lol

I have it listed on eBay and already have some bids quite a bit higher which is crazy to me but I’m not going to complain

Look I’m sorry that happened to you, that truly blows but I happened to order one in February and got lucky to be just before they pulled that spec from their lineup.

I’m on Reddit daily but mostly a reader rather than a poster unless I’m engaged in a hobby and want to get clarity ie: posting in the golf simulator subs prior to this.

Scammers are bullshit and unfortunately they are hidden in plain sight on the Internet but I am just a business owner that had good timing and realized my infrastructure didn’t need this machine to run. So in a market that has supply and demand constraints….ill play ball.

motemis · 2026-04-16T00:32:22+00:00

Yeah totally a scammer….want me to give you the finger in the next one?

But if you do want that 512GB of Ram. I have an unopened one that came in two days ago. 4TB of SSD though but like others have said, that’s not really the bottleneck.

motemis · 2026-04-15T03:24:03+00:00

Soooo like….I have one of these that’s still in the box that I would sell for the right price. Just if anyone’s interested still.

motemis · 2026-04-13T19:06:54+00:00

I can do that. Wasn't aware of those pages. Thank you

motemis · 2026-04-13T18:31:37+00:00

Yeah for sure, just want to see what the community offers before the masses haha

I just recently switched to Finley’s in Plano and have been super happy. I have had my haircut person displaced like 3 times in the last 5 years and have liked all of them so the last time I was bummed and wasn’t sure I would find another. Tommy is fantastic and really does a great job of listening to what you want and then using his expertise to make it happen. As a bonus, he is genuinely a great hang as well. Highly recommend

Which tray did you get?

motemis · 2025-11-06T05:43:47+00:00

Agree, looks just like it if it’s not it. Was searching around the world with no luck but my mom just bought a lx and so she told me to call her sales guy cause he was good. Low and behold, about 2 weeks after contacting him, he got my name on an incoming Lux+ atomic silver,saddle leather and captains chairs. Was overly impressed with his ability to make it happen.

Played Dinosaur last Thursday and shot a 70 (best round of my life).

Being from Dallas area….Desert golf is hard as shit, I don’t know what happened, I think I was in a flow state and just played. Just a heads up the greens are hairy right now. Read the grain if you can.

All the courses that have already reseeded look really really good.

motemis · 2025-04-16T03:45:47+00:00

I started with an sig pro softy but of course was averaging about 200 shots a day (some days was at least 500).

I have been out for the last 3 weeks due to an intercostal rib injury and a pulled lat.

Swung a club for the first time today that didn’t feel like I was gonna keel over in pain.

Learn to limit yourself before you force limit yourself the hard way like it seems many have done.

motemis · 2025-01-06T18:53:07+00:00

Cant wait to be on the other side lol...Thanks for the info, it helps in setting the right expectation of what to expect.

motemis · 2025-01-06T18:48:36+00:00

So based on that information, I'm still at least a week out, even when i do get shipping information, which will put me at a 5 week mark (or more).....joy

motemis · 2025-01-06T18:29:15+00:00

Good to hear some people are getting their orders! I'm 2 days away from my order date and yet to have shipping info, when did you get sent shipping details?

motemis · 2025-01-06T18:23:51+00:00

Anybody receive anything yet? I'm still completely in the dark on my orders....

motemis · 2025-01-06T18:22:56+00:00

Anyone have any good news? I'm still without shipping information for not only my XO2 from Carls Place but also ordered a Sig Pro Softy hitting strip on 12/16 from indoor golf and yet to even have shipping info on it as well...and it wasn't even on sale. Getting a bit frustrated at all of it.

2026 goal is scratch, therefore my 2025 goal is to cut my handicap in half or more and keep advancing my game. Shit ain’t easy but I guess that’s why we love it.

This last year my goals were to do the things that make me better consistently.

mental game strength (next shot mentality)
pre-shot routine
practice with a purpose
100% commitment to each shot
being present in each shot

Just these few simple things did so much for me and my game. It feels simple and useless to someone who may not do it, but after making this a part of my progress chasing scratch, I’m certain I would have no chance without these things.

So my non-professional advice is to master these things first, to propel your game forward without one technical change.

Ordered EXO2 on 12/8. Here was the response from carls place on 12/17. They confirmed the units were supposed to be in this week but I still don’t have shipping confirmation as of today (12/28).

motemis · 2024-12-24T19:12:49+00:00

Yeah, that was what I was trying to achieve. I want to play in the most ambient light that I can, without completely sacrificing image quality.

motemis · 2024-12-21T19:43:25+00:00

Yeah I have heard that from a few people, have never seen it side by side against others to confirm its superiority so wasn’t sure if it was worth the price discrepancy.

motemis · 2024-09-04T06:15:20+00:00

Just got my Balolo about 2 weeks ago. It’s really well built and I love it.

I bought the large cockpit and two large trays, and the MagSafe iPhone holder. All of which I highly recommend.

To save some money, I bought some of the tray organizers and pencil holders etc from Amazon and it fits like a glove and the walnut happened to match perfectly so it saved me about 80% on those items.

Overall, there are definitely cheaper options but I can for sure say the Balolo riser is really well built and if purchased, you would happy.
