I'm feeling a bit weak this morning, cutting the walk into two segments makes it cooler on my body ~ 4M for 45 minutes, then 6am for another 45 minutes. Almost 4 miles. Just walking, no walk-run-walk. My core temperature didn't get crazy.

I had water with added potassium and those other electrolytes, thinking that will bolster my strength.

Still no weight loss.

Walk this morning, broken into 2 sessions:
81 active minutes with72 minutes in the cardio zone with 44 in the fat burn zone, only 7 minutes in peak.

Weather.com tells me it will be 114 degrees at my house today. I did the walk this morning, too.

To appreciate this, you have to know that last summer my body refused to cool down. When I made my pre-dawn walks, I had to wear ice packs all over my body and I still got so hot my face was beet red and it took me more than an hour to cool down in the air-conditioned house afterward.

I'm going to lay the praise on my exercise regime and myself for sticking to it every single day since May 2014. Something changed in my body that has made it more able to cool itself. And for that I'm immensely grateful.

Cooling towels come in many different brands and colors. Amazon is the easiest place to find them all in one place.

Last summer in my attempts to cool my body down, I spent literally hundreds of dollars on cooling vests, neck bands and various sizes of gel packs which I tried to keep cool. None of them worked as well as the cooling towels.

They're not expensive, but better still, THEY WORK!

Another cool morning in the 80s and even though I'm over 36 hours into this fast I wasn't weak. All good. I walked a little bit further to celebrate.

This morning when I did my pre-dawn walk, the temp was below 80 degrees. There was a slight breeze, and I celebrated by walking an extra mile. However, even though I ate beef liver yesterday, I'm still feeling weak. I'm getting some new vitamins today, so hopefully they will eventually help me with that issue.

Hi, Glenda. Do you have any sort of diagnosis about this, or are you just trying to figure it out yourself?

Liver. Hm. Somehow I never even think of it! Residual childhood memory, I'm sure. These days I could probably cook it with lotsa bacon and make it taste good. But back then? Ick.

I'm glad the weather is cooling off a little for you at least for a while. Enjoy those pre-dawn walks.

I don't seem to absorb B vits very well so my doctor prescribed me syringes and the liquid B. However, the prescription isn't covered by my insurance so it was over $200 to fill and I decided not to get it. So, yes, I'm trying to find other ways to "beef" up my intake.

According to http://www.marksdailyapple.com/10-p.../#axzz3fKYI4YFC



I actually love the taste of liver, but I prefer it in liverwurst or braunschweiger. When I get the liver, (which BTW is the cheapest meat per pound I've seen recently) I soak it in red wine, marjoram, oil and a tiny bit of vinegar before pan frying. Yesterday I gave it to DH for lunch, but his was breaded. Although he ate it, I can't say that his thank you for lunch was particularly enthusiastic. (As a side note, we've been married 11 years, and not once has he neglected to say, "Takk for maten" when he finishes eating a meal I've cooked for him. Did I tell you he's Norwegian?)

Cutting my walking time because the weather is heating up again. Also, I'm starting to believe that "regimen" does not = weight loss. Mixing things up both in exercise and diet keeps the machine confused. It's the machine which carries on doing what it's supposed to do for my survival, in spite of my wishes to the contrary.

The machine mustn't believe I'm in danger or it won't let go of the precious stored energy I call fat.
