Day One, 11:11am

I'm definitely doing this... just made my first potion. And can I say, yum? I'm always amazed at how good it tastes.

This time I'm trying to drink it with Smart Water, for the electrolytes. Maybe I'm a huge sucker, but I figure it can't hurt -- and since I'm basically not having any other food for the next three days, the cost is justifiable.

I didn't quite know what to eat for dinner last night. We ended up ordering sushi, figuring it was raw-ish -- although the well-meaning folks at Miyako included some free Japanese spring rolls. They were greasy, but delicious. I ate more raw fish than I normally would and felt kind of queasy after... the perfect start to three days of non-eating.

This morning I'm having the big caffeine debate with myself. I know it's strictly forbidden, and yet... I'm terrified of the additional pain. What I'm thinking at this point is that I'll have green tea today and start the official weaning tomorrow. Man, this is going to suck.

Day Zero, 7:21pm

I'm going to fast again. This time, it's '06. Just a little over a year later. I'm still at the same job!

I didn't really prepare for this. No raw food day or anything. In fact, it's the night before the fast, and I just ate a bag of doritos from the vending machine. I'm still at work.

I have a lot of homework to do this weekend, and errands, and no real social plans to speak of. I want to do this thing before Thanksgiving, while it's still fall, while I still stand a chance. So this weekend it is. I need to get some lemons on my way home.

I think I'm probably insane.
