Day 14 of my fast. Stomach is still a bit sore but generally better. 2 things of note today. Sudden dry mouth. (It was weird cause I was literally sipping my tea on my route seconds before) I've only had the dry mouth sleeping until now. my electrolyte and water intake has been constant. I can stil generate saliva easily so strange. Fascinating rather than disturbing. The other thing is first day with zero BM's. Up until now at least 2 a day. Am I "cleaned out"now? We'll see. Tomorrow will be my weekly keto reading with my precision neo meter (this morning my keto stick seemed unusually dark) So I'm curious if I'm up from my 3.2).

One thing I should comment on is my mood while on the fast. I feel quite calm especially in these times. Not euphoric but I feel pretty stable aside from some of the stuff on the news pissing me off LOL. Full disclosure..in 2014 I was a high suicide risk. Never attempted but I was damn close to doing it. So I'm very conscious of my mental state when it comes to depression. My point? No fast related depression at all. I have not been "hangry". Every day is just like they were before. For me anyway!
