Less Need For Sleep?

Strangely enough, I have been not sleeping very well. Not even that tired. Like, I have some physical fatigue going on, but, truth be told, my mind is soooo wide awake its nothing short of bizarre.

Woke up @ about 5:30 AM and tried to doze back off - I'm a chick who has NEVER in my life been a morning person. Not for a second. Yet here it is 6:19 AM and I am doing a blog post, bright eyed and bushy tailed.

What's more, I didn't go to sleep until well after midnight and woke up a few times in the interim.

I hate weighing myself every day, and I really should know better, especially at the onset of a fast where much of my weight loss could (and probably is) water weight. That being said, according to the bathroom scale, yours truly has lost 6 lbs in not quite 3 days.

That is A LOT.

Not to mention that I am not even tempted to eat. I had modified my diet substantially before beginning this fast, and I have LOTS of healthy, fast-approved fruits, veggies and juices loading up my fridge. And I look at them, and they have no appeal what so ever.

I did read up on a little trick last night, tho, for keeping electrolytes in balance during a fast. Apparently, squeezing a little bit of lemon juice into your water is a great way to keep electrolytes up and prevent water poisoning. So, later, at a slightly less insane hour, I am going to head to the store and grab a couple of lemons. Let's hear it for not being hospitalized this month LOL
