I grow increasingly vexxed as the days pass. The lemonade is now almost unbearable to drink after like 3 glasses so I know I’m not getting enough calories or … lemon juice… going to mix some more up shortly and try and get my daily quota in. Hungry a lot, but it doesn’t bother me. I can smell food with a new intensity! I seriously picked out some lo mein from 1/2 a mile away. While in santa fe today after derby I swung by whole foods to get some more lemons (sigh) and was besieged by so. much. delicious. temptations. Endless caraffes of steaming heavenly soup, the hot bar of prepared food, little sample trays of delicious tidbits .. it was horrible. I made it out with some yogurt for later and lemons and 10% less sanity.
Energy is still high. Gave up on the salt water and vowed to do tea 2x a day and then… didn’t. This morning I woke up at 5 am with vicious stomach cramps all shaky and miserable from the damn tea and wondered why the hell I was poisoning myself with this. When I’m not otherwise distracted I pretty much spend my time alternately trying to talk myself into giving up because this is stupid and having some food, or staying the course because, 4 days left. Not sure how I’ll break the fast yet, some sites recommend doing a day or 2 of orange juice first and then broth and then vegetables. But .. I really don’t want to drink juice for even a day. This is not a thing I’m craving. I’m not going to leap right into a rare steak dinner or anything but … how bad can some delicious soup right away be? Exactly.
