I'm starting the fast at 205 pounds. Started the day with my regular routine and actually increased my mileage a little bit to 5.4, due to a dog I didn't want to run past. I had a delicious mango-blueberry juice for breakfast, which I don't recommend because it's way too expensive. I did it because I didn't end up making a blueberry-mango salad I had planned for last week and needed to use the fruit.
The intention for this fast is only to remember the feelings that transformed my relationship with food, body, self. Remember the appreciation for whole fruits and vegetables. Remember the sensation of nutrition entering the body. Remember the gratitude for food that heals. No attachment to weight loss or anything else. Just honoring the experience that changed my life!
I had to take a nap in the afternoon, but was really productive the rest of the day. Picked up lots of great items from yard sales for the classroom - including some mega-blocks and a LeapFrog! And some nice wooden puzzles. And a great book find - Make Way for Ducklings in perfect condition, only 50 cents.
So far, so good. I'm feeling first day hunger pains for sure, so I'm going to go have a juice and read a book before bed. Yoga in the morning!
