Water Fast Day 3

Alright. Day 3 of this water fast over in about 2 hours.  This was the hardest day yet.  I'm not even going to say I wasn't hungry nor would I say that I didn't have headaches and weak.  It didn't start out that way, I was actually feeling somewhat euphoric this morning, but after I got done loading the ssemi, that did me in.  I was taking a slower pace to conserve energy, but I found I had to stop and take a nap after delivering the product.  Short nap - 15 minutes - but it helped.  Back to the yard to pull another order and load it up - that did me in.  And now I'm home, I'm not going to end it today for I don't have to do anything else but sit/lay around and rest.

Which is pretty much what most of the testimonies you see about it from people do.  They aren't working and if they are, certainly not the physical exertion I am putting in this week.  If I have to put out the energy I did today, I'm likely going to be forced to end it.  Which would be a bummer because I wanted to make it a minimum 7 days.

I haven't fasted in a long time and haven't tried to fast this long in even longer.  After 3 days it might get better, though I'm reading it takes 4 days and then it gets much easier.  Well, I'm not going to do anything for the rest of the day. I'll definitely make it through today and into tomorrow morning which puts me 12 hours into day 4.  I've heard rumors of going and picking up pipe at a yard in Monroe, if that's true, that would be much easier and I could - probably - make it through tomorrow.  But if it gets any worse than today, I'm going to go eat.

I decided to take 2 days off after Memorial Day which gives me a 5 day weekend.  But I really don't know about flying to Phoenix or not.  I would probably have to take the entire week off.

I have other things to go into, but I think I'm going to rest for a while.

I suppose you have researched it, but I would be astounded if any responsible medical source approved going a week with no solid food while working a job that burns off thousands of calories a day.

Well no they don't really talk about anyone going to a physical type of job, but if I want to do this, I really have no other choice. And I want to do this, in fact, this is just the first one. I am aiming at doing this once every 3 or so months.
