Not the best day today - a baguette at lunchtime and carbiferous dinner. I'm feeling a bit unwell and emotional, as though I'm coming down with the flu. There's plenty of it around at work, people are dropping like flies. I have labyrinthitis from time to time and am having those symptoms now, but that usually comes after a virus, so maybe I already fought it off and just have to deal with the labyrinthitis. I had been feeling ludicrously well up until later yesterday.
Had a chat with my Dr this afternoon and although he seemed a bit wary, he approved gradually extending fasting up to five days, but only because he is happy that I'm diligent with self monitoring. He's impressed with the good steady numbers and weight loss so far, though, so I hope I can impress him even more next time. He didn't seem to be familiar with Jason Fung, so I mentioned his book and knowing my Dr he will be interested enough to have a look.
I'm going to aim for a 48 hour fast starting on Sunday night and ending on Tuesday night, unless I really do have a nasty cold or the flu coming on, in which case I'll have to see how I feel. Fasting would probably be the best thing for it, anyway!
