Ok... so I last posted 7ish last night and was doing good. Went out side and rode my skateboard around lightly with a friend of mine. I ended up breaking a sweat but wasn't extremely exhausted. It was nice just being outside doing something "normal" on a Friday night. Then went home and got online..chatted a bit on here.. sat outside on my balcony for a bit and went to sleep around 12:30ish. Finished my first 1 liter of Smartwater.

I was beginning to worry that the added electrolytes in the Smartwater would have a negative effect on me(read a thread about it), which it still might have but I think I'm ok for now. My tongue is coated for sure now(really white down the middle, but the edges are still pink). I am definitely going to find some real distilled water as soon as I get my car back which should before noon.

Anyways I've been sleeping pretty well, but the dreaming is definitely getting vivid. Almost spooky.. 2 dreams that I had last night/early this morning:

The first one I can't really remember too much except I was running around in a forest supposedly "investigating" like I was working for a law firm on this case or something... and then out of nowhere I see a hand and it gives me a big stack of passports! WHAT!?!? I woke up after that with hunger pains/pangs.. it was like 6:30 in the morning.. I sipped the beginning of my second bottle of Smartwater and went back to sleep.

Now for my second dream. FOOD DREAM. I know there are many vegans/vegetarians on here so this might gross you out. Sorry. So I was boiling this chicken for my parents(Chinese recipe with ginger and green onion sauce, its good if you eat meat, if you don't just make the sauce and eat it with rice or something) and then I finished and we were eating it and dipping it in the sauce, but the chicken was completely cold and uncooked.. it was pretty much frozen/raw.. but it was so real. I could tasted how cold the chicken was but I was still dipping it in the sauce and eating it. CRAZY! Then I woke up. It was pretty cold because my roommate had the air conditioning on and sometimes the thermostat doesn't work so it just keeps getting colder and colder/ hotter and hotter. So I turned it off. Felt much better.

Decided to lay around some more and take in some early morning sun. I've been doing this since the beginning of this week. My bed is along side a large window that faces east and so at night I've open the blinds when I got to sleep so when the sun rises I get a semi-alarm clock and a sun bath(does it count?) cause I just sleep in my boxers. Ok too much info LOL.

Anyways starting Day 3.. was pretty groggy when I woke, but thats gone now. Urine is super dark yellow. I have an slight ache on my upper left shoulder.. I think its from typing. I have a slight pain in my right elbow.. I think from my arm just being sore from throwing a baseball around on monday(prefast),but I felt it both times when i woke up. Also I think my teeth are getting whiter, but that might just be me being optimistic...I'll wait till someone tells me that they noticed. Probably the most significant thing is that my gums are becoming really sensitive. Which is cool even though its almost painful.. but I wouldn't say painful just really sensitive. I read that it is actually because all the dead parts from me smoking for so long are healing and coming back to life... hope thats what it is.

One thing I am worried about is I still haven't really gotten that heightened smell which is always what I look forward to.. being a smoker my smell is pretty shot. I mean I can smell things.. but that super smelling ability when you're fasting I still have yet to experience this time. Hopefully soon though. Anyways.. thats it for now.. happy fasting everyone!
