Akom - Master Cleanse - Day 2 March 3. 2007

Morning weight: 139

Got up fairly late, didn't go running as I got bogged down in administrative tasks - mostly domain/hosting/application related.
I wound up rewriting the story presentation engine, again - this time to generate a static site using smarty.

Had some of the tea in the morning, and started drinking lemonade around 11am.
The tea is quite effective, producing expected results. It's now 1.5 days since I've eaten anything solid and I'm using the bathroom as if there've been no changes in my lifestyle. I guess I've never really fasted for longer than 2 days at a time, so it hasn't occurred to me just how long it takes for food to work its way through the system... Or is it what I'm supposed to be getting rid of - the ballast I've been carrying for who knows how long?

Continuing to drink the stuff, I'm actually liking it. In fact, I feel fine overall, I have enough energy for normal operation and I'm in a pretty good mood also.

Taz is having some internal conflict - she's ready to give up and start eating. She hasn't fasted before (I have an advantage here) and as expected she is now coming face to face with her ego. If she continues the fast she has the potential to become stronger, and her ego - weaker. This is truly a challenge as she is now working out her biggest eating habits - sandwiches and PB&J. I did what I could to support her and seems like she's sticking with the plan.

I wanted to head to the recycling center to check for discarded lumber to make a raised vegetable bed in our backyard, and they close at noon, so we ran out of the house and drove there - but alas, no lumber. A quick stop at the post office and Body and Soul (found different Senna tea there), and we were done with our errands. The post office in our town is always fun to visit - always something going on, everyone knows everyone and people complain and joke to you as if they've known you all your life. We then took a walk through the park and went back - can't be away from the bathroom too long when you're constantly drinking.

As evening came, I was still messing around with the various disjoint computer aspects of our businesses, and I was getting hungry again, so I made some more lemonade. It was not until I drank a lot of the stuff did I realize that my body is now ready to shed some ballast, and this time was different - it was definitely not your every day variety, but something that was waiting for this day for some time. On the bright side, I feel even better. And all this before the evening tea! I actually felt a bit of stomach stirring just prior, so if you do this and experience spontaneous bloating with minor pain - time to find a bathroom. It wasn't all that spontaneous though, I did drink 2-3 glasses of the lemonade first.
