So, I woke this AM and the pounding headache was gone. My stomach is empty, and I'm a little bit hungry. But not as hungry as you would imagine for someone who hasn't eaten in something like 44 hours.
BUT my stomach is feeling grumbly - like a sour stomach thing going on or something....I'm assuming this is part of the digestive changes that are supposed to take place. I don't like it much, though. I mean, it is just drawing my attention to my stomach and the fact that it's empty.
Other than that though, and the fact that my mouth seemed more morning breathy than usual this morning (a few days of yucky breath are also par for the course at the beginning of an extended water fast according to what I've read - toxins being excreted - supposed to get more manageable as the fast goes on. Worst case scenario, I start chewing gum next week. Don't really want to go there this early on, not til I get past my hungry all the way...) I actually feel pretty good.
From what I understand, the first few days (1-4) of the fast are the hardest. I am almost through the first 2 days - 4 hours til the 48 hour mark. If I can make it through the weekend, I'm thinking it's gonna be some smooth sailing for the remaining duration :)
