sup guys,

i just got back from my summer job of treeplanting in Northern BC and alberta. They feed us a lot of crap up there so i'm cleansing my body now and probably gonna go on a paleo diet after this or something similar. I've never fasted before but i don't think it's that hard, all you have to do is not eat. I'm on hour 76 or so right now, so i'll just write down everything that's happened so far and update regularly after this.

1st 24 hours - i ate breakfast at 8AM and then decided to fast after that. I grew steadily more hungry as the day passed and was extremely hungry when i went to bed. when i woke up the next morning however i wasn't that hungry though i still had the occasional twinge.

24-36 hours - i wasn't that hungry when i woke up but the hunger increased throughout the day, as well as a growing feeling of faintness/weakness. I took a nap in the park and could barely move when i woke up i was so weak. I've had a stuffy nose for about 5 years now and all of a sudden i can breathe out my nose again which is fantastic. eager to see what else happens.

36-48 hours - i went to bed at the end of the 2nd day extremely hungy, awoke feeling lightheaded and moderately hungry. my legs felt really rubbery and i was slightly dizzy throughout the day. went to the hottub for a bit and almost fainted when i got out. Nose is a bit less clear though that's probably due to me sleeping outside in the cold lol.

56 hours - extremely hungry and feeling quite faint as well. I sat down in the library to read and draw for a couple hours and almost fainted again when i got up.

64 hours - went to a movie and started feeling great. got some energy and my skin feels like it's smoother and softer than it's ever been before. Went to bed feeling pretty good and fell asleep in no time. This may be due to the fact that i drank 4L of water in like 3 hours...

76 hours - where i'm at right now. It was a cold night last night and i still haven't gotten rid of the coldness. My extremities are really cold, my nose, hands and feet are FREEZING even though i'm in a warm building. My skin and nasal passages feel better than ever though and i can feel something rumbling around in my intestine. Hopefull i'll start ejecting toxins soon, if i haven't already. I don't feel as weak as i did yesterday or the day before, although i know i couldn't do anything strenuous for long. Gonna hit up the hot tub soon and see if i still get that faint feeling.
