Computer shut itself down so starting another thread!

DAY 28

This morning some orannge juice and capsaicum since I had a migraine. Began running and ended up doing about 3 miles. just wanted to run and run and run .

Maybe 5 or 6 hours of sleep?

went back to sleep about 7 after running and slept till after 8 and woke with the most incredible feeling of well-being (no doubt, hence the running joy) I even tired out the puppy a bit!

Had some salad at about 2:20 a.m.

Fasting was again easy, thirst came and went.

After sundown just had 5 peaches and a lot of fresh durian. I love durian!

p.s. migraine gone during running. And the well-being was there despite the pain. Interesting!

This page finally opened so I'm reposting this so they're in (some kind of!) order.

DAY 29!

Slept about 6 hours, sleeping right through what I was supposed to do in the middle of the night! That durian put Me out!

Woke about 5:30 and went with the puppy only for a mile run because I had (have) work to do! Could have run more. Woke again with a migraine that is still hovering.

Ate almost the rest of the durian after running. Found one more pillow and put it in the fridge for tonight.

Feel so peaceful!!!

With this sunrise-sunset fast am noticing the knee-jerk reaction to putting something in my mouth at the slightest 'provocation'!

Forgot to mention yesterday that we need a smaller bench for this little tiny foyer (4ft by 5ft) that we have, and asked God, and there at a garage sale (which turned out to be a deceased high school classmate's home and bench) was the perfect little wooden (very solid) bench. And her son and I reminisced about when she and I went to secretarial school together eons ago! Experiences lately are either delightful or instructive!

I notice eating lighter always does that.

The current thread disappeared, and this one came up.

Only one more day and it's 30! That flew by.

DAY 29 EVENING

After sundown had that last durian pillow, and then opened another one, sharing with my daughter and a friend.

Then made mango, red grape strawberry durian shake (just a little durian for flavoro. It's delicious and too full to drink it! The colour is beautiful.

Almost day 30!

Day 28:

Breakfast: BG Chai Tea (will be in recipe book) this is literally my fav breakfast in the World! -1100

Lunch: 25 Gold Kiwi's, just sat down infront of puter just shovelling, it was great, over 1000 cals

Dinner: BG B.A.D Strudel, 1200 cals.

FULLY carbed up love it!

Total around 3300 cals

Water: 3ltrs

Exercise: nothing

Sleep: 8hrs

Day 29:

Breakfast: Didn't have breakfast until 1pm today BAD idea. Will explain more.
BG Chai tea - 1100 cals

Lunch: 5 bananas followed by 200grams of dried apricots. 1050cals

Then had some Orange juice, bit of a mish mash on digestion, putting juice ontop of dried fruit etc. - 400

Dinner: Made 'indian' rice with this sort of relish on top, about 300 cals

Total around 2800 cals

Water: 3.5ltrs

Exercise: Kicked my butt up Mt Warning today, 3 miles up or nearly 5kms, it was slippery, muddy and a real challenge, actually pretty dangerous but like Helen Kellar says - 'Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all'

Sleep: 8hrs. late nights at the moment

feelings: I really didn't intend to eat that late and during the run near the top I nearly passed out from so much exertion and not enough food! I hadn't eaten in like 19hrs which is crazy. It wasn't planned just turned out that way, I don't recommend it!

This no salt challenge hasn't been as hard as I thought it would be! Having everyone here sharing their journals has been really awesome :)
