Today is the first day of my water fast. I'd like to fast for 21 days, and more if possible. I have never done an extended fast before, but I have done periods of alternate-day fasting.

I'll be working while I'm fasting. I haven't told any of my co-workers about it. People don't seem to understand fasting, and I'm sure I'd get the "are you crazy?" looks. Maybe I'll tell them at some point. We have a pot-luck lunch on January 20th. I'll have to figure out how to deal with that one. The office isn't that big, so I know they'll ask why I'm not eating.

One day at a time, though...

So far, today's going well. I have a little discomfort, but it's mostly mental. I brought in a gallon of distilled water, and have been taking big gulps when I feel my tummy rumbling.

It's going to be an interesting journey.
