Day 3 of 7 Day Water Fast

Day 3 is in the history books and I’m still going strong! I feel about the same as day 2 – a little fatigued and occasional hunger pangs but not bad really.  Just taking some deep breaths or drinking some water usually makes them subside.  I forgot to mention in the yesterdays Blog, but I had a dream about food the second night I was here.  The dream had me at a church function where there were several tables with food on them.  One table had cake, muffins, and chocolate treats and the other had vegetables…I actually intentionally walked past the treats table and headed for the vegetable table!! I guess this fast really is changing my brain a bit.  I had another interesting experience yesterday as well.  I went for a short walk around the True North campus and it seemed like my sense of smell was enhanced – even compared to the day before.  I could really smell the exhaust of the cars and aroma of plants and bushes that I had not noticed before.  I’ll see if the same things happen today.  Another interesting fact regarding smell is that even though I have not showered or brushed my teeth since starting the fast I really don’t have any body odor or bad breath to speak of.  I mean, I do’t smell like a fresh spring morning, but I don’t smell like dead fish either.  True North recommends you don’t shower for safety reasons and because they don’t want any chemicals entering your body during the fast.  The same goes for brushing your teeth.  Last night there was an art therapy class for patients which I attended.  We basically just hung out and colored form adult coloring books.  I’ll try to upload the picture I colored!  So I think that’s about it for today.  Check back for a new post tomorrow and don’t forget to drink your water!
