Taz - Master Cleanse - Day 4 March 5. 2007
My Weight - 124 pounds - 5.5 pounds less than day one.
Akom's weight - 136.5 - 1 pound less than day one.
So today was the first day Akom is taking the bus to work. The significance of this is that I now have to drive him to the bus stop 3.6 miles away and that he has to leave the house at a certain time or he will miss the bus. Unlike when he was taking the train, he doesn't have a choice and really needs to focus on getting up and getting all the things he wants to get done before 6:45am. Yes, there is another bus in case we miss it.
Personally, I think this is better. It is cheaper in so many ways. The bus costs $218 per month - 7.6 miles of driving/day so gas (if this all the driving this car gets) every 7 weeks - Estimated total: $230.50. The train on the other hand was - $207/month, 50 miles of driving/day so $100/month in gas, $65 parking/month, $42 in tolls/month - Total: $414. I think I'll be OK with the dropping him off and picking him up for a direct savings of $184 x12 = $2208/year.

Anyway, as I was saying the significance of this is, I have to get up at 5:30 with him to prepare the limeade for the day. I thought I would have a hard time getting up, but surprisingly I didn't. I was energetic as soon as the alarm went off. I'm wondering if I should just stay on this diet interminably

8:00am - I had the tea - the new tea we bought on Saturday. So far no effect.
On a side note. Akom's yoga instructor had said something interesting, regarding the fast and that was "Imagine all the free time you will have now that you will not be eating." I didn't believe it at first, because I though, well I still need to make the lemonade and that takes time. But he's right. Now that I have making the lemonade down to a science, it takes me 20 minutes to make 14 cups of lemonade for the day with cleanup 30 minutes. Imagine the amount of time it takes you to make dinner. I mean there are books on quick & easy meals because cooking takes so long. So lets say on average it takes 30 minutes to cook, 15 minutes to plate and eat, and then another 30 mintues to clean up...and I think these are fairly aggressive times - that is at least 1 hour and 15 minutes you have spent on eating x 3. So approx. 4 hours of your day is spent on food....I actually realized the significance of this over the weekend, when I had "4 extra hours" that I couldn't figure out how to fill. I literally ahd this feeling that I was missing something...LOL!
