End of fast

I ended the fast yesterday with some soup. I had already dropped 3 lb in 3 days so it was time to end it. I didn't like feeling so tired and I definitely didn't feel the euphoria that unexpected. I just felt really tired and unable to focus. Maybe I should have waited longer? Anyway, I finished the toaster oven and the garment rack.

I woke up first at 5 then 6:30 which was nice because I got to see this beautiful sunrise. I made my coffee and I'm feeling much better than last night. Time to finish my toaster oven and garment rack project and start my outfit for NYE.

RE001 Report of Day 2

I went running with Taj in the afternoon. Was feeling great in the morning but then I had a long talk with Taj after the run over a big bud light and when I got back home I was feeling badly. I think the sugar drop after the beer made me start thinking about food and I was extremely hungry. I tried to keep busy by finishing the toaster oven and working on my new garment rack. I was almost finished with the toaster oven when the door swung down and messed up the paint. I had to retape the door and sand down the first try. It's ready for a redo. Least it kept me busy. Finally made it to bed around 11:30.

RE001 Toaster Oven

GeoTagged, [N34.39763, E119.71643]

I've thought about food several times today, specially when I walk through the kitchen and see candies and other things sitting on the counter. I'm keeping myself busy by cleaning the kitchen. While cleaning the kitchen I decided the toaster oven was looking gross and the white flaking paint was not becoming. So I moved into my next project which is painting the toaster oven bright red. I went to an auto parts store and got some high heat primer and red paint typically used for engine blocks. Here is a picture of the toaster oven with primer. He's looking very apocalyptic.

RE001 First Run

Went running last night, about 6 miles. I ran 3 down to state street, shopped a bit, then 3 back. I'm actually feeling great. When I got home I had a cup of hot water with bouillon, soda water, and about 2 sips of bud light. I don't know about drinking alcohol during this. I'm going take that very slowly.

RE001 Day 1

Early start to the day since I have to fly from DC to LA on a 7am flight. Funny how this early in the morning I'm already feeling hungry even though I don't ever eat before noon. Must be the anticipation of hunger...and all the people eating greasy breakfast sandwiches. Yummy!

Fluids = coffee

RE001 Last Supper

The start of project #1 which is a 5 day fast. This is my last meal, Saturday Dec. 25, and the focus of this journal for this week will be my thought and feelings while only consuming broth and other liquids. Hopefully I will have several other projects during this time but for now the fast is the focus. And so it begins....
