It's been a week since my last fast, and I did wonder if it would be harder having had a longer break. The week has been hectic too, with the 2 day trip to New York and then a weekend of sick people in the house - not me thankfully! I was therefore planning to just do whatever it took to get me through the day and back into the groove.
As it turned out, it was once again a very easy fast day. I really didn't feel hungry all day, eventually having a small meal at around 6 o'clock that filled me up completely. I did have a few black coffees during the day, which strictly speaking contain a few calories each, but other than that I went about 21 hours without food. I started the day very sluggish and weary, probably due to delayed jetlag, but have finished it feeling revitalised.
As I understand it, the longer the fast, the greater the health benefits, so I'm hoping to build on today's experience until I can manage a full 24 hour fast. It seems to make me feel energised and positive which is good enough reason on its own to do it. We'll see how it goes on an office day!
