Wow, it has been a week since I started this fast! Time has gone by fairly, um, fast. There isn’t really that much to report, but I will make a few notes here.<\/p>\n
No hunger pangs this morning. I’ve been drinking a lot<\/b> of water lately. I keep on running out of lemons, maple syrup and water at home and poor Aimee runs to the store every 3 days to replenish supplies for me. She’s been very sweet and understanding throughout all of this. My tongue is still a little white, but I think it might be slightly less than yesterday.<\/p>\n
Fair warning, here’s the icky bit, so skip this paragraph. I didn’t think I had any wastes left in me after 7 days of not actually consuming anything solid. But sure enough, I do. There’s not much, but there it is.<\/p>\n
OK, that’s over. The salt water did not taste as nasty today. In fact, it was downright bearable. Someone please do something if I ever say that I like<\/i> the salt water. The funny thing is I was able to drink all 32 ounces pretty much in one go this morning. That’s definitely a first: I’ve always had to drink half immediately and then the remainder over the next 7-10 minutes.<\/p>\n
Back to the hunger pangs for a minute. It’s 1:30 pm now and I’ve only gone about 1\/3rd of the way through my flask. Last night, I wanted to eat (I was hungry, but the lemon juice did satisfy that — which irritates me slightly, now that I think about it). I wanted, actually, to eat with my wife. I wanted that interaction you get from preparing a meal and eating it together. The smell of the food she made didn’t help. She had these spinakopita things that really did smell divine (can I say that word as a straight man?).<\/p>\n
As it turns out, the running from Tuesday did not<\/b> leave our muscles sore. I guess the stretches<\/a> really helped! Because of that, we decided that we will do the third and final run of the week tonight. Sunday starts the second week with 90 second jog\/2 minute walk blocks!<\/p>\n See what happened on Day 6<\/a><\/p>\n Follow the adventure to Day 8<\/a><\/p>\n Edit: added navigation<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Wow, it has been a week since I started this fast!
