Day 2

Day 2

I'm at the end of the second day of my fast. Yesterday was easier. I can go a day without eating without a problem. Today, though, my stomach is talking to me. Like the alien plant in "The Little Shop of Horrors," it's saying "feed me." Fortunately, there are not the dire consequences for me for not doing so, as there where in the movie.

I started the day with a delicious, tall glass of water with a heaping tablespoon of food grade diatomaceous earth mixed in with in. It was every bit as good as it sounds.

Hunger pangs set in around mid-morning and now I'm just waiting them out. They should be gone after tomorrow, or a day later tops. The rapid weight loss should begin by day seven, at the latest.

Last night was as I expected. I didn't sleep very well. I knew I wouldn't. Drinking helps me fall asleep much easier. That's why I do it. But, as a long term strategy, it has its down side.

Anyway, I laid in bed for several hours, before I dozed off. I never went into a deep sleep; just dozed in and out of consciousness, dreaming vivid dreams mixing with conscious reality. Not a restful sleep. That ended around 0330, and I spent the rest of the morning tossing and turning until dawn. I then dragged myself out of bed, stumbled into the kitchen and scooped up some food and water to put out for my cats.

I consumed a lot of water throughout the day. My P,M. drink was green tea mixed with Apple Cider Vinegar and Lemon juice. It wasn't too bad.

So now it is off to bed for another poor nights sleep. Eventually sleep will come easier as time goes by. Enough for now.
