This is my 2nd day on my water fast. This fast will end Sunday at 5pm. I drank about 1/2 gallon of filtered water throughout yesterday. I slept very well last night and I haven't been sleeping well lately. I had tons of energy yesterday, it was awesome. I wrote 3 articles and cleaned the house!

However, people are eating food in front of me this morning. The food smells so good and that's not cool! I am still not hungry but I can feel the habit of eating pushing me to eat. I'm pretty good at ignoring triggers. I just watch the sensation, which comes up in a subtle way. That's one of the benefits of meditating every day, I can let go of annoying sensations. The craving manifested not as a thought but more of a feeling the food smells so good! I think the subtle triggers are the hardest to ignore because they aren't in my face like a hunger that hurts.

I thought I would get really hungry. Instead I am really bored, what's up with that? This must be how my eating habit manifests. I eat out of boredom, something to explore within myself after I'm done fasting.

The reason I started this fast was because my digestive system was slowing down. I mean the food I was eating wasn't moving through my body very fast and I felt like I was full of shit. I mean literally .....

I am distracted though, you know bored. So I decided to write this blog to kick start my day and not turn this into a big procrastination day thinking about food and wanting to do nothing! I still have a ton of energy, I feel alert and the sluggish heavy feeling I have from being full of shit is gone. The body feels very light! Fasting has given me a lot of energy. Now I have to focus that energy and let go of my boredom.
