Day 12 - Mission Accomplished!
Back in the Forest after the Stazi Raid!

Well I'm back in the forest house after an intense emergency trip to the city. I wasn't expecting that in the middle of my first winter fast! The local council in our shire decided to launch some house inspection on our city sharehouse - something that's happening all over the country atm with the recent voting swindle and liberals in power again -- frightening times in this country!
I don't want to go into the ins and outs of council bylaws and how ridiculous they all are, suffice to say that there are a ton of grey areas that can cause untold problems for people and students just sharing house, paying their rent and looking after the place should the council get involved and that its a bloody hornets nest - so we went down and made sure there was nothing for them to lodge any complaints about as they can evict households based on these grey areas - we turned the house into a musical project for the weekend and made some great recordings :) Art saved the day and the house lives on - was totally prepared for them. Crazy shit.
So it was a real blur, leaving here last weds afternoon and only getting back late Sunday night - its monday afternoon now, so I went from day 5 to it now being day 12 of my winter fast without so much as knowing what day I was up to until now. I fasted right through until saturday night when I had my first fast breaking meal of stir fried rice - ate about 1/3rd of the dish that night then the rest of it slowly over the sunday, had a bit of leftover laksa as well and a pastry and now its monday, so far just been on liquids, have had a morning tea, a cup of watery broth and a mug of choc raw milk - I'm about to get my period - I will have some more rice this evening, but I'm going to not eat much more and continue with my fasting for another couple weeks.
The house is cold - I need to build a fire and start the slow process of warming it up again so I can get back to some yoga, just sitting in my room now with the heater on - first time this winter I've used it! Just because I got in so late and haven't built a fire yet. Its cold weather and I did experience some hunger on that Saturday night which is very unusual for me on a fast - so I think maybe that's the winter difference kicking in.
It's been a great fast so far, really enjoying it and have slimmed down a lot and feeling good, energized, more relaxed mentally, having a lot of dreaminess especially around sleep time and an increase in dream activity -- enjoying my juices and my awesome cold pressed juicer - what a great investment that was, use it a lot and especially when fasting :)
I've done a lot of bushwalking and yoga and this past few days in the city did a lot of work cleaning and moving things - so I certainly got my exercise! Back home now, my minds on cleaning up, getting laundry on, building a fire and just finishing a book I'm reading a friend of ours wrote. Bit of a rest day today keeping warm and reading this book - I'll get to that fire and maybe a bit of work on my puppet heads this evening. Looking forward to some rice later on and a couple days of drinking psyllium drinks, some hot baths and saunas and getting back into being here and going back onto liquids only, retreating away and continuing with spiritual practice, yoga and bushwalks once the house is warmed up :)
Good luck to all you fasters and readers and yogi's out there!
