36 1/2 hours in

06/07/2007 09:34:58 / happy

Okay! So I'm 36 1/2 hours into the water fast. Herking aside, it's been fairly easy to get through. I got a good night's sleep last night and woke up refreshed, which helped enormously. I also got a good workout in and I'm not hungry.
From everything I've read, the hunger goes away after the second day, which I am looking forward to.
[br} I am really enjoying the challenge, and I hope that this becomes comfortable enough for me to continue through the weekend.

That said, I think the Muslims have it right when they say that fasting encourages compassion; I can't help but think about the people who, throughout history, have had to fast with nothing but water, but didn't do so willingly.

Anyway, that's all for now. Will update more later.

06/07/2007 13:38:46 Okay, so it's officially more than 40 hours in. I don't know if anyone is reading this, but that's okay. I like blogging about it. Today, the food cravings have mostly gone away. I went in to Gold's at lunchtime to do a little bit more cardio, and as I was walking out I could smell the rich, spicy smell from the Thai/Chinese house next door. Now, those of you who know me, know that Asian food is my absolute favorite -- Japanese, Chinese, Indian and Thai are my top four favorite genres. And last night, I was craving some sushi and an ice cold martini. However, getting back to the story, I walked out and smelled the smell and it didn't really phase me. I appreciated it and enjoyed it, but it didn't make me drool. Yay! Maybe the food cravings are going away after all ... Regardless, as long as I can stick to my plans -- weight lifting class tonight and then asleep by 10 p.m. -- getting past 48 hours will be no chore whatsoever. Anyway, that's all for now. ( : Jenn
