As you rightly said the Somvar fast should be started in the period of Shukal Paksh. You can start from the month of Magh. You can start from 22nd January 2018.

Initially,if cant do fast without taking any food,
you can eat uncooked vegetables on the day of fast.

Penance means observing fast for one day in a week.
On the day of fast ,you can eat uncooked vegetables,for
two months.
After two months,you have to fast for one day in a week,
by drinking diluted lemon juice with honey.You can drink
lemon juice(diluted) with honey ,daily 10 or 12 times.
Prime minister Modi was doing fast for the last 30 years,
for two days continuously in every week.
Likewise,Mahatma Gandhi’s greatness and popularity was
attributed to his fasting for longer periods of 20days in every
year,in addition to small fasts very frequently.
Sri Morarji Desai became prime minister at the age of 84.
HIs life history shows that he was also fasting frequently,
for longer periods.
