Self awareness

I was in the mountains with little humidity working out and dryfasting. Short 24 hrs. Felt absolutely amazing Came back to humidity and started drinking more water and wow. Mood was horrible, felt lethargic, inflammation after workouts and the biggest thing I noticed was feeling sad. I am very self aware with my body and damn, I can’t get over the difference. Body feels way off and I hate it:( Guess I need to figure this out because I am living here in the city. It’s just crazy how my mood and even my hunger was horrible. I don’t know if it was the environment, plus drinking made me more hungry. Just thought I would share that I was a little energized bunny when I was doing dry in a low humidity climate. I felt like my metabolism was rocking! Digestion and bloated issues came back as well. Maybe I just have to do longer dry when I am here. Any ideas?

I live in Phoenix, AZ (dry heat) and Austin area, TX (humid) and I find that dry fasting in the dry heat is WAY easier and much more bearable in the humidity. I remember being 3 days into a dry fast in the humidity and couldn’t even run a 5k… whereas in the dry heat I was hiking 5 miles and feeling pretty good. I am more used to it now, it just took longer for me to get used to it. But yeah, it was quite the process and a little miserable at points! The body will adapt…it always does!

Also, and this might seem strange if you aren’t familiar with subtle energies. But the higher you are in altitude the more cosmic energy you receive. So if you made a lot of progress at higher altitudes, you might see some regression when going lower in elevation. I noticed this immensely after coming home from being at 10,000ft in Colorado. HUGE difference! Even bigger than the humidity/dry situation.
