Monday Motivation: Day 2 Of My Fast! Let’s Go!!

Good morning everybody. It's Luke here. Good morning, good morning, good morning. Happy Monday to you and yours. Thanks for being here with me. My name is Luke Wendtland. I've been at Cadre since day one. I've lived with generalized anxiety disorder, panic attacks, and I used alcohol to cope with it for years and years. Welcome, welcome, welcome. Happy to be here. Hope everybody's having a wonderful start to your week. Thank you so much for showing up. It's half the battle in this life. I just wanted to talk a little bit about something that I'm doing.

Just kind of like it just happened sporadically. It just kind of happened out of the blue sometimes. Those are some of the best things that actually just happen to you. But at any rate, hope everybody's doing well. Thanks for being here. Apologize about out of the vehicle today. Usually I love to do this from home, but it is what it is. So I'm here and that's all that matters. But. So I've always wanted to go a little bit deeper. You guys know this about me by now. I've always somebody who kind of pushes the envelope, goes a little bit deeper.

And one thing that I wanted to do always was fast. And I wanted to try the fast and I've read all about the health benefits of it, but I was like, you know, do you think I could do this? Do you think I could go, you know, 12 hours, 24 hours, 36, 72, Etc. So I'm, I started this with no expectations, like truly, like I wasn't coming out of this saying like I'm gonna go 36 hours and that's it and blah, blah, blah. But what I, what I said to myself was, I'm just gonna go as long as feels right. I'm just going to go as long as it feels right and I'm going to push myself to see.

So I went out to eat with my wife on Saturday night and after Saturday night I said, you know, I'm going to start like I had none of this pre planned. I didn't have like my last meal, none of it. I just was like, you know, I'm just going to start after this. I'm like, okay, let's go. So Saturday night had my last meal naturally. I usually don't eat, eat that much at nights anyhow, so that wasn't hard, right? So I just drank a bunch of water and stuff and then the whole. Yesterday was at my son's basketball tournament.

So he had a big basketball tournament. First game started at nine, then it was Like a one o', clock, four o', clock, and then six o'. Clock. And then there's also some of the other kids that were playing too, that are some, some of my, my son's friends and whatnot. There's like the A and B team. So I was, you know, sat there and wanted to watch all of it. And one of my favorite things is concessions. Oh, man, I love a hot dog. I love all that. And then gets into basically like stem cell recovery and all these other things that are happening.

I've got to get to give it a go and see if I can do this. So here I am. I'm feeling great. I don't feel like I need to eat anything. I'm feeling strong, I'm feeling powerful. My mind is clear. I feel like I can see straight. I'm feeling really, really good. That may change, you know, throughout the course of the day. Don't get me wrong, but I don't feel hungry. I don't feel like my body needs food. I feel like I just need to simply continue to, like, let my mind go. Different places that do not are not served by food, right?

Because if like, I just went into the coffee, I got my black coffee because all I can have is black coffee and water. And right over by there is like the donuts and my favorite, that tit bars and all those things are just right there, just staring at you going, come eat me, Come eat me now. And I'm going, you know, that's okay. Not doing that. I'm gonna make it a stretch here. So at any rate, I am officially almost 40 hours in and it feels fantastic. And my body is. My mind is clear, my body feels good.

All of those health benefits that are supposed to be happening of like cleaning out your digestive tract, that's. That's underway. My body, you know, metabolizing my own fat in order to fuel my body. And so, you know, if people ask me the what or the why, the answer is like, I just wanted to try it and I just wanted to give it a go. And I just wanted to see, you know, what it was going to be like, you know, one day into this, two days into this, three days into this, and I can't even speak for three days yet.

I haven't made it there, but I'm going to give it all. I got to continue on this fast and see and who knows, like, when this is done, I may make it four days. I may make. Make it not even two, or I may make it like ten. I Don't know. But I'm going to just see and go where it goes and just be healthy while I'm doing it. Like I either there's no reason to end up in an emergency room because of this experience. So I'm definitely not going to do that. But at any rates it's great to be here. It's great to be here with you all.

I am going to document the process and I'll probably have like a live stream or some sort of level of pre record or something on the platform that you can listen to my experience doing this. But so far so good and I am going to continue to go today without food to the best of my ability. So Jen, it's good to see you. Yep. Fasting just like figured Saturday. I've read enough about it and I wanted to try, I wanted to try this two weeks ago but like kind of life just didn't align with the fast at that time.

So it was what it was 1% better. Good morning. Good morning to you and yours. So we're just going to continue on this journey and see how it goes today. I'm confident that I can make it a good stretch of time to get to the autophagy stage. That's the stage that I want kind of lean into where my body starts to like kind of break itself down, kind of break itself down and you know, get rid of the dead cells in my body and start to replenish with the new cells and just kind of flush my body out totally.

And I'm really excited to see what happens. And there's so much literature. If you just literally se, you know, fasting, you know, what happens to my body during a fast, you name it. I think you're gonna find like the health benefits are through the roof. And like I said, like my mind is beyond clear. Like I am. There's no brain fog, there's just nothing. It is so crystal clear. Like what I'm thinking, I'm speaking, what I'm saying is where I'm at, I'm, I'm where my feet are and I just need to continue the discipline and the commitment to say I can go another hour, I can go another hour, I can go in another hour.

So at any rate, I look forward to sharing this journey with you all. And in the meantime, oh, Heidi, Heidi says evidence based. Let's go. Glad you're feeling cleared and cleansed. I am and feeling fantastic. This is wonderful. Who knows what it'll feel like at the end of the day. Like I said, I might not feel that, but right now I do. And I'm going to take this, I'm a run with it. You all have an amazing week and I just want to let you know, like, you don't have to have this grand plan to start something.

You don't have to have this grand plan to say, all right, you know, come, you know, May 13th at 2 o' clock, I'm gonna start this blah, blah, blah thing. Like I just literally had a meal and said, you know, I'm gonna give it a go for a while, I'm gonna give it a go and just see how this, you know, non eating fasting goes for me. And is this the, is this the right answer for me right now? Answer may be no answer maybe yes. But I have my water, I have my decaf Americano and I'm gonna enjoy the living daylight side of this.

And yeah. So here I am two days into the fast. I'm feeling great, I'm feeling better than normal. And that's interesting. So it's like, do I have a lot of fat that my body has to run through? Well, of course I do. I'm just teasing. There's a lot there. But at any rate, you guys have a wonderful week. Thank you for joining in. Love y'. All. This is an amazing community and I promise you I will have a. Because I've, I've, I'm writing everything down over the stretch of like, what's happening, how I feel, you name it.

So my live is just me just riffing, letting you know how I feel, what's going on, all of it. But I will have a documented approach that'll share via either a live stream or a pre recorded piece of content. And I can't wait to share with you all. In the meantime, like I said, have an amazing week. Lift somebody else up and don't wait to start. Don't wait to try something. YouTube can do this. Peace. Bye everybody. Have a wonderful week. Thanks for joining.
