My hunger has all but gone away, however I still think of food often. I watched No Reservations with Anthony Bourdain earlier (a rerun - Tuscany) and oh the camera shots of the beautiful Italian food were almost too much to take! Ahh, the cheese and wine. The homemade pasta. The olives! They looked scrumptious. Hmmm, olives - I will enjoy you again one day soon!
Enough about all that! Physically I am a bit weak today. I feel a tiny bit dizzy when I stand up too suddenly, but this is all to be expected. I wasn't able to get much accomplished because I would become tired fairly quickly when work was attempted. I did do a couple somewhat strenuous chores and I actually came away from it with a very quick and fluttery muscle spasm in my right arm. Pffft! I will definitely need to re-introduce some light, muscle-building exercises into my routine quite soon after I have started eating normally again.
So tomorrow - another milestone. 7 days. A week! I've been told by some fellow water fasters that I am just about over the hardest part, so I am looking forward to more energy and less of an appetite. This will come in handy for the trip to my grandmother's later this week. She will no doubt have a COW when she finds out I am fasting, but she'll just have to get over it. Some friends have suggested that I don't tell her, but - you know grandma's and eating. She'll know something is up.
For now I am just going to enjoy the calmness that seems to be easing over my mind today. I find it much easier to think and I am not constantly searching for what I want to say. I just seem to know it. I should put this to good use and write something more worthwhile besides this blog!
Love and light!
Kai
