Day three and still going strong…
…although I could eat this chair I’m sitting on. Seriously. My stomach feels a billion times better, and unfortunately me feeling better means that I’m clear to get hungry. And I’m staaaarving.
I’m also remarkably clutzy, and dropping things left and right. I am noticably weaker, and wouldn’t dare try to work out (I went on my exercise bike for about five minutes last night and nearly fell down when I tried to stand up after.). My arms just feel weak, and my fingers aren’t holding onto things the way they’re supposed to.
My headache’s dropped to a dull throb (still there, but totally bearable), and I’m pretty much used to this slightly airy-lightheaded thing. My tongue has turned a funny shade of orange/yellow, which is weird, but apparently to be expected…there’s actually an entire article on what happens to your tongue during this on associated content. Useless article, but apparently this subject is searched on enough to justify an article as link bait.
With all that said, I have a surprising amount of energy. In spite of the headache and feeling physically weak, mentally I am completely clear and wide awake. I understand now why most religions include some sort of fast, I can only imagine what I’d feel right now if I was a bit more of a spiritual person. Neat.
Unfortunately (I truly am sad about this fact), I will be going off of this a day earlier than planned. I completely brain farted about the fact that I’m going to SF this weekend and can’t really do a liquid diet while flying. I would need to bring a lot more liquid than I’m allowed, ya know.
So tomorrow will be my last day on this…this time around, anyway. I suspect I’ll be doing this again, it’s fun in a strange, masochistic, “I’m turning myself into a science experiment” kind of way. But not for a while.
