72 Hours

Well, it's been 72 hours since I had anything to eat. Just water.

I feel very well except I awoke with an awful ear ache at about 3 am and could not go back to sleep.

It's amazing. It's now Friday and I have only eaten once since Sunday evening. That was three days ago.

And I feel great. I have no mood swings or ups and downs. I am not hungry. I have a lot of mental clarity. I am at peace.

I might not ever eat again. :)

24 hours

Okay,

Been over 24 hours and no Jack Bauer moments. I have moments of extreme clarity and I've had more energy than I would have ever expected.

I am feeling a little queasy at the moment. For some reason, drinking water makes me queasy. So I'll have to hold off the water until I'm really thirsty.

I've only eaten one small meal since Sunday evening and it's now Wednesday afternoon.

Just 9 days to go.

40 days in the Desert

I've quite smoking, drinking, etc. So now what? I'm still well over 200 pounds and feel like crud.

So, I tried something new. It's called a water-fast. For about 40 hours, I lived on nothing but water. Trying to sleep the second night was like a little preview of hell. Muscle pains, dancing nerves, cold chills, delirium. All this caused by the body searching out toxins to digest because there is little food left.

But I felt great when I woke up the next day. And I wasn't hungry.

Today, I've decided to push it a little further. Instead of 40 hours, I'm gonna try 240 hours.

Ten days existing only on water, unhealthy deposits, tumors, and that gum I swallowed in 1994.

If I survive, I'll let you know.

A current picture is forthcoming. That will be the before. in 10 days, you'll see the after.

Depending on how I feel at the end of day 10, I may go longer.

Jesus made it to 40 and he was still strong enough to carry a cross.
