so i've been fasting for almost 6 days now, only water --- no food, no juices, no medication.

i will not lie, i dont have any energy. it takes me forever to get motivated.
the past three days i did my normal workout, packed with full days. ive actually had days full of responsibilities since i started.

this isnt my first water fast, i did a 5 day in October, with about the same affects.

i am going until monday 9pm. it will be 8 days and 7 hours.

i have a feeling that my metabolism has some affect on the fast. i have always had a metabolism that is faster than everyone around me. [able to eat about 2500 calories/meal and not gain weight].

after three days i would say mental clarity was there... but now, its gone.
im not able to concentrate at all.

for those wondering why i am fasting:

i am a Christian, and i believe Christ died for my sins on the cross. i am fasting because God told me to. it is hard, but it will certainly be beneficial.
denying my flesh in order to bring myself closer to my Creator.
