Day 4 of my (slightly dissapointing) 6-Day Fast

Sooooo....this is NOT okay. I chose a 6-day fast because when I fast, it only takes me 6 days to lose 10 pounds. My goal was 98 pounds after this shit is done with. But for SOME reason, I've only been losing a pound a day since I started. Wtf..

I've been going over all the possible explainations for why I'm not as close to my goal as I thought I would be, but I really just don't know anything for sure. Or how to change it.

I've narrowed my pathetic lack of weight loss down to the fallowing explainations:

*I'm getting my period and am just bloated (even though I'm not..)

*I quit smoking a few weeks ago so I'm gaining weight rather than losing (even though, I quit WEEKS ago and I've been eating healthy, drinking a lot of water and exercising...?)

*I've been going to the gym a lot so I'm gaining muscle and muscle weighs more than fat (even though I slacked on working out all weekend..)

*I have to poop. My body is still holding on to everything I ate before my fast (even though I gave myself an enima to get rid of everything....BTW, TMI? GTFO. =P )

Whatever the reason, I can only hope the next two days go smoothly or I'm going to have to extend this fast longer than I expected to.

Symptoms are much better today though. I feel so....cleansed. =) No more headache, cravings not bad today, and I even had a burst of energy that I used to deep clean the house and push myself (harder than I should on a water fast) at the gym. In fact, I burned 1,500 calories today just in cardio. Not to mention, the Basic 8 training I did on the machines.

Take THAT, slow, unsatisfying weight loss! >.<
