Chapter 13 Lucky for some

This blog is like a friend to me, just as my lovely Yasmin want's to explain everything to her 'Mouse', I feel the need to explain everything to my 'Blog'.
She is nearly 3 and I am 55 however....

So blog what drags me to you on a beautiful sunny Tuesday morning?
Well you see it's like this.....(sits back and pauses for dramatic effect).....

I decided to read Zeynep's book about fasting and was persuaded to try this for myself.
It recommends a diet that allows for 5 days regular eating, with 2 (non consecutive) days that include a 12 hour fast. My dad was a great advocate for his own, once a week fast, claiming it made him feel much better generally.
This book proposes that potentially great benefits can be gained from fasting, beyond the obvious one of weight loss and control.

The author started his 2 day fast  / 5 day eating plan with a fairly radical 4 day fast.                                              This followed various tests on his blood etc. and physical measurements.
It was also supervised carefully by a doctor.
Without this safety net and, given that I am currently on treatment for MG, I have decided a cautious 2 day fast, before I start the 2 day 5 day routine.

I am well into my second day and I am feeling great, not hungry but very alert and sharp.
Today was one of my steroid days and the ramped dose today reached 40mg, Doctor Armstrong suggested that I would recognise the point when the steroid treatment started to take effect as I would feel better on the days when I took the dose. It seems early for this to be the case as he suggested this might be 6 weeks in but I feel so much better so is it the fast or is it the drugs?

Well Sherlock who gives a shit! The fact is I am feeling so much better, better than I have since this was diagnosed!!
Being me and still stinging from my pathetic attempt at Kettlebells on Sunday I have just finished a light practice set with a single 16kg kettlebell and...... FANTASTIC I feel normal!!!

 No asthma, good fresh sweat rolling down my back, life is good. So dear u100kg division don't start counting your chickens because I'm still here and I think,

I will be coming for you soon...............
