Hey everyone, me again. I am completely getting bored out of my mind. Anyways, I'm approaching the evening of Day 2 so that is fun. Woke up this morning around 9 drank a few sips of tap water. Then I went to Wal-mart to go look for some distilled water, but they were out! What!?!? I guess everyone and their momma is fasting here in Austin. Not really, but it is odd. Eh, so I just bought 2 one liter bottles of Smartwater at $1 each...BIG RIP. Regular distilled here is usually 75 cents/gallon, but the Smartwater says vapor distilled so I hope thats good... its gonna have to be regardless for now.
Not too much activity today besides walking around Wal-mart. I bought a few things. One was a "Natural Loofah Body Buff" that I used in a lukewarm shower today. Pretty cool, just helps in scrapping dead skin off.
Walked around some more and looked at the plants.. they were nice.. didn't buy any, but enjoyed picking them up, examining them, smelling them, etc. I want to start growing my own garlic, but I heard you shouldn't do it in the summer time. Its ok.. I already have one big jalapeno plant, one habanero, and one tabasco along with a yucca plant and a bunch of aloes on my balcony.
When I got back from Wal-mart I took a 2.5ish hour nap(I never take naps, but have been since the fast started) then woke up and decided to give myself a haircut 1/8
inch all the way around. Pretty clean looking. I normally do 3/8
inches all the way around, but said what the heck, its summa' time and I'm fasting! Hahaha... my mood has been good. Then me and my buddy took my car to get the alignment done and an oil change.. we gotta pick it up in the morning.
Yeah so after that.. I laid in bed for maybe an hour kinda dozing, but not really just trying rest. Finally got up and read some Shelton. The part on Fasting and Addiction which left me even more optimistic about things. Cause if you read this far and you don't know, I've been a smoker for 10 years and drinking for that long too. But probably heavily drinking aka alcoholic aka alcohol abuser aka whatever you want to call it for the past 5-6 years. Oh yeah and daily pot smoker for just as long.
But I digress... so its been since the 3rd of this month since I smoked pot and my last drop of alcohol and last cigarette was on the night of the 23rd. Again, I'm nearing the end of Day 2 and looking forward to Day 3.
I've gone through half of one liter of water today most likely will come close to finishing it, and we'll see what tomorrow brings. Right now I have had a few mild hunger pains/pangs but not too bad, I think my tongue is starting to coat maybe, some thick spit coming up more than normal, and the napping that I mentioned before. Also a when I was laying down a few muscle spasms along my legs and arms, but nothing huge. Hopefully just some healing going on. Anyways thanks for reading and happy fasting to those of you that are!
