Well yesterday was a great day!! Decided to end my 55th year on a Water only Fast. Started at 4PM on Thursday. As today is my Birthday and it is almost 8 AM….. I am 40 Hours into my Water only Fast and Celebrating my birthday with that delicious empty feeling that only a Water Fast can provide. Nope no cake no celebrations on this first day of 56 only that Quiet Contemplative place that a FAST can provide.
Something different…I exercised intensely twice yesterday during the FAST. Morning I did 40 minutes Eliptical and some low weight resistance training with High Reps and some solid ab work.
Evening I played a GUT wrenching squash match. Feeling empty I worked through and pushed very hard vs my favourite 30 year old opponent. Did not win but took him to the mat.
So intense exercise while Water Fasting….Their seems to be numerous benefits….Triggers Human Growth Hormone healing is promoted as the body repairs.
Of course weight melts off but this Fast is not at all about weight…..
Again….FASTING teaches much about what Hunger really is and ILLUMINATES how addicted to food this Society wants us to be and how disconnected we are from our bodies and what NUTRITION really is. Fasting has taught me that that LITTLE pang we feel that makes us rush out to eat is 100% artificial and not real. It has taught me to manage what I perceive as HUNGER. It has taught me to break dependence on food and coupled with the CRON method has taught me that when I eat I eat to FUEL my body…..not BOMBARD it with FAT SALT AND SUGAR….if it ain't high nutrition I simply don't eat it!!
Fasting has taught my taste buds to come alive when food is presented… a Simple broccoli Spear with no butter no nothing is orgasmically delicious. Blueberries are Natures Hagen Daz….and Sweet Cherries….WELL LETS NOT GO THERE….simply pornographically delicious. hahahaha
OK enough ranting. Happy Birthday….When the FAST will end. Not TODAY
Onwards and Upwards…Welcome 56.
