Day 2 dawned cold for everyone (tho not quite that cold..just rainy and chilly), but --as my fellow blogger friend says-- I will likely be even colder while on the water fast.
ome weakness was also present, but that is also to be expected. And it makes me glad that I'm just sitting at a desk all day. Yeeeah--very glad to be sitting down. Not drinking quite as much water--at least as fast. But that's probably a good thing ;) My mom reminded me this morning that people can die from drinking too much water, because it dilutes--something ;) who knows what, but--in any case--I don't think I'm really in any danger.
9:45 Weak.
To keep the record straight--I am also chewing gum while doing this fast--though only in small amounts as I am wont to do :P.
10:44 Hmm..getting warm. That's odd. I am wearing a sweater..perhaps they decided to turn the heat on instead of the AC b/c it really is chilly outside...
10:50 Okay, yup--defs feeling some hunger. Yesterday was kind of like a long regular fast, except I got to the 'not hungry' stage quite quickly--except it was not even as severe b/c I had water. But today my body seems to be realizing that I'm not giving it food for a while...*more water*
11:15 ope--chilly again. I guess that was just a fluke ;) And hands still cold of course
11:45 have finished 5 glasses of water at this point..and really need to go "make a comfort call" (sometimes grandma terminology is truly the best--or at least the most amusing ;) )
12:33 mmm. Someone just warmed up some delicious smelling food. I shall enjoy the wafting :) Smells like curry :D
I just remembered--also when I drink a lot of water I get cold. Like in restaurants--I drink tons there. (Altho it might have something to do with the fact that it's ice water... ;) )
12:53 *sigh* now thinking about the delicious Navajo Tacos Susan and I got in Salt Lake..they smelled and tasted wonderful. Hmm..it's not like these food musings are breaking my resolve, so I guess I'm just enjoying them mentally. Cool :D
1:05 grateful for my own body heat
1:27 suddenly very weak so drank another glass of water; sleep looks really friendly right now...but can't cuz at work. that's okay. new piece of gum too (only chew about 1/4in. of a stick at a time..just want the chewing and a burst of flavor, don't want a big gob in there. i've been doing it that way for a while now)
2:00 Hmm..yesterday everything seemed so possible, and today..it seems less so. I'm just weak and my limbs fall asleep more easily. However, I think my ability to 'distend' or just push out my stomach as decreased..so that is a heartening sign. That can be another of my motivators when I just feel weak.
However, methinks I shouldn't go contra-dancing tonight ;) sleep sounds like a much more attractive option. :) Tho should probs read some scriptures first at least...
Also getting some lower back pain b/c I keep reclining against the seat back. It's not extreme, but b/c I'm so weak it's a bit.
And why not continue and get full flushing benefits from it? Because, after all, I've started--so I may as well finish :)
2:50 defs feels like a longer day. more aware of the passing of time. hmm.
3:15 going home sooner and sooner is sounding nicer and nicer...
3:20 just saw the name "Polselli". It made me think of Italy and that wonderful food we had there. Haha. Delicious warm pasta with cheese and egg.
And if I go home too early, it's not likely that I'll actually work at home. Especially b/c here I have a computer to myself, but at home I share with 3-5 people...
4:20 and yet, now I have found a comfortable way to hold me body and i've gotten in working mode and things are just fine.
