Fasting Journal : Day Six?

baerdric (65)in #fasting • 6 years ago

I'm not really completely sure how to count these days. I had my last meal at about 6:PM last Sunday so I'm about 5 hours from finishing my 6th day, but part of today will also be part of my 7th day.

Well, that's why I keep counting hours. It's coming up on 140 hours. By the time I edit this for all my various postings, it will be 2:PM and 140 hours.

Still not feeling seriously hungry, but still bothered by boredom and habit. I was just out looking at my garden and some of the peppers are coming ripe. I thought about how nice they will be fried up in butter and maybe mixed into my morning scrambled eggs. I was actually about to pick a couple when I suddenly remembered I still have about 24 hours to go to make my week.

But no, I will not be breaking my fast on fresh hot peppers from an untested plant. I don't hold to the notion that you have to break a fast with fruit, or other easily digested foods, but I'm not daring enough to break it with red dragon cayennes.

I did notice one thing today, perhaps it is related to fasting - I have a runny nose. Clear watery liquid that inconveniently falls out of my nose if I bend over. No other sinus symptoms. Seems weird.

OK then, about 25 more hours and I can have the steak and eggs I've been trying to make for several days.
