Second day into Fast

I must admit I am feeling hungry. Not terribly so. Not the desperate hunger you feel on your way home from work when you feel ready to eat any trash available. It's more the constant gnawing reminder of how good food is and what fun it is to go out and get a warm meal inside of you.

I think I have been pretty good so far:

On Friday I met up with family. Whilst the others were enjoying chips and excellent food followed by pancakes, I was eating a green salad without dressing with two slices of bread. In the evening the others had a croque monsier with chips (!) and I just had a watery broccoli soup with a few slices of bread. That was the day before yesterday and I felt quite envious of the other plates on the table but it was my own choice - so there.

Yesterday I started the day with freshly squeezed orange juice and then had warm carrot juice with a wee bit of vegetable stock in it. For the rest of the day I just had water. I seemed OK and wasn't too hungry at all -maybe helped a little by going to a three-hour film at the cinema at 16.45.

All the fast manuals I have seen, recommend some or other kind of colon cleansing. Otherwise the contents of your colon just goes stagnant and putrid like a swamp in a horror film. I went for the glauber salts variant which I stupidly ingested to close to my bedtime- so there was precious little bedtime.

Today I decided to make the most of my clean gut and do some water fasting. In the morning I was able to do quite a bit of housework. Then I had a little rest after which I went for a nice walk in the park. I must say it is a bit strange venturing out into the big wide world, feeling a bit light-headed and slow. But I got more confident as I went a long.

I do feel rather hungry this afternoon. They say that all will be better on day three. I am curious. I'm not quite sure whether I'll settle for the juice fast or the water fast. Maybe I'll try and water fast till tomorrow and then see.
