Day 2 has begun. I'm feeling fine. I did feel hungry at one point, but don't now. I have a short work day today and plenty of chores to keep myself occupied. My tooth feels good. I don't have a mirror to check it yet. Interestingly, I sprained my ankle yesterday. It hurt terribly during the night, but is already feeling much better today. I didn't even ice it. I think my body had the energy to focus on my injury instead of digestion.- Re: Day 2 Tranquilitas

Chewing xylitol gum for tooth remineralization now and drinking red raspberry leaf and peppermint tea.- Re: Day 2 Tranquilitas

This is a reply to # 2,393,643OMG! I am soooooo hungry. Not physically, but mentally. I go to work in half an hour. That will kill some time.
I've done my grounding. I peddled the bike. I did posture exercises. I'm having a second cup of herbal tea now.- Re: Day 2 Tranquilitas

This is a reply to # 2,393,646Day 2 is done. Bedtime. I also had chicory root this morning and match in the afternoon. I was feeling some uterine pain, so in addition to my two cup she of red raspberry leaf and peppermint tea, I had a cup of wild lettuce, red raspberry, and peppermint tea. It did the trick with the pain. I am now enjoying a cup of chamomile tea at bedtime.
I brushed my teeth with remineralizing toothpaste and rubbed my hair with some EVOO.
I'm very tired.
Good night!

This is a reply to # 2,393,639Hey there.
I'm on 196lbs now, after nearly 5 days.
Today I feel quite weak: unable to do my habitual pace-walk, nor my light yoga routine.
Only good for watching light entertainment online or bed.
Relying on my breath awareness technique to keep me in the present: away from the negative, defeatist inner voice; away from the chasm of time stretching away ahead of me (which is an illusion, for we only possess today, only ever have knowledge of today)
Good luck and stick to your original motivations for going on the fast; keep those motivations front and center of your daily work-a-day consciousness.

This is a reply to # 2,393,723Thank you for the encouragement! I had to chuckle at your comment on "the chasm of time." The stillness and apparent slowing down of time is such a hard part of fasting for me. I like to move, so the stillness seems almost unbearable. I never realize how much time I actually spend eating until I start a fast.
