Up at 3am. I feel a lot better than yesterday afternoon. My mind is doing the usual thing of craving certain foods for this stage of the fast. Early in a fast the craving is for fatty starchy stuff and protein but later on in the fast it's as if the body then says "Ok if you aren't going to let me have a fried chicken burger then please can I just have a tin of peas". I feel creative, had a good time jamming along to records. Last night my teeth were chattering a bit even though I didn't feel cold.
At around 4:30 I started to pace so I went for long walk up yonder eastern hill.
The country lanes were lit by the moon. I saw the sun rise from the top of the highest hill. Mist hanging in the valleys, hills appeared to float on the mists. While I was walking I felt really good. I walked quite a few hilly miles no problem, which is good because yesterday afternoon I could barely make it around the market square. It's important to try and get over each hurdle. You get these hurdles when fasting where you feel rough, but it's only your body fixing things about itself. I got back at 7am and slept again for a couple of hours. I noticed also that I have started to slim down quite a lot. I've probably lost about 10 lbs by now. Although I could easily afford to lose another ten.
I'm feeling so much better, I'm just about over food addiction, which is a good job because Ruby is going to come round and eat easter eggs in front of me, I won't be able to resist a smell of Lindt, although I don't like to think of myself as a masochist, I'm more of a sadist but to myself.
