Fasting Day Two

Assignment two: Fasting / Cleansing for 24 hours. I can't see doing it for "only" 24 hours and since I missed my January 1 fast by quite a few days, this will be my first fasting of the year.

Our instructor gave us a fast to follow which consisted of a ton of freshly juiced fruits... I prefer juicing lemons, maybe an apple, and a ton of water. It makes me think less of, "ok, what's next."

Yesterday wasn't too bad. I'm having headache related issues which I don't remember...

I didn't have any lemon juice this morning since I had to get up so early and juicing lemons would have meant getting up *even earlier.* PLUS I would have had to go to the neighbors' yard at 5:30 am to get some fresh lemons and one never knows what could happen while out fetching lemons from the neighbors' yard that early in the morning.

On the afternoon of day two I am missing the sensation of taste, but not food. Unless, food is taste... but I don't miss all of the chewing and swallowing and effort, nope, I don't miss it.

I am missing the sensation of flavors in my mouth and am thinking how nice it would be to roll a piece of flavored something around with my tongue.

Herbal tea - peppermint, minty mint, raspberry, lemon just aren't cutting my craving for taste. Though it is comforting to have something warm to hold.

In the big scheme of things this isn't so bad.

Well, except this dang headache.
I could certainly do without it.
