I had a good nights rest. I am very happy with progress made in the last 6 days. Today we had our airconditioner replaced in our home so I spent most of the day hanging around the making sure the work gets done right. I went up into the attic to work on a secondary unit during the middle of the day when the temperature outside was about 94 degrees and the humidity was hovering around 70%. After about an hour up there I had to come down and take a break because I knew I had reached my physical limit. I think I made it just in time. I drank two glasses of orange juice rather quickly because I began to feel extremely weak and lightheaded followed by a quart of water. About two hours later I decided it was time to eat some solid food. I ate 4 chicken tamales. They were delicious. Two hours later I took my wife to work out but on the way we stop at Pei Wei and order a vegatable stir fry. It was divine. We waited about 45 minutes before we headed to the gym. Since I ate and was feeling fueled, I decided to do some lifting. I did a 45 circuit training session working my chest, shoulder, lats, biceps, triceps, and legs. I then did a 20 minute light cardio followed by a 20 minute sauna.
I plan to eat tomorrow and then begin another water fast on monday.
Overall, I am really happy I reached six days. I would have liked to have reached my goal of seven days, but I am not going to beat myself up over it. Six days is 4 days longer than my previous water fast. In retropect, it didn't seem to be very difficult. Sure there were times when had a few hunger pangs and quiet a few times I wanted to eat just because was having cravings, nevertheless, I am proud of myself for hanging tough six days without solid food. I never felt my body was in distress until today while I was working in the attic in hot weather. Had I not gone up there I am sure I would have lasted through tomorrow and beyond.
Tomorrow is a new day and an opportunity to set a new goal.
