Fast - The End

Ladies and gentlemen, let me just say this: You don’t know bliss until you experience a single slice of pita bread and roasted red pepper hummus after 7 days of not eating, and realizing that your stomach had no problem handling the orange I ate over the course of 4 hours.

Fast - Day 6

My last full day of not eating is almost at an end. Yesterday, I did end up needing to resort to juice to maintain my energy at the water park. I finally slept a full night, the first one since the first day fasting. As it stands right now I weigh about 163. I started this at 180-182. So yeah, a loss of about 20 pounds in a week. I wasn’t overweight when I started this, and I guess I’m certainly not now. We’ll see how my body reacts as I slowly reintroduce it to eating.

Fast - Day 5

Feeling a bit better this morning, which is great considering that we are going to a water park for a few hours. Still not sleeping solidly through the night and I’m getting tired of that (no pun intended). I think last night was the turning point. We went to see Tropic Thunder, which is pretty friggin hysterical by the way. When we left the theatre the plan was to go over to a friends house and hang for a bit. Before landing there i needed to stop by the grocery store for some water. I know that sounds yuppie-ish, but if you had ever tasted Columbia tap water you would agree that not only does it smell like public pool water, but it probably capable of dissolving human flesh as well.

Fast - Day 4

I had some juice last night. Technically that means I failed at my water fast. I couldn’t sleep last night, my joints ached too bad so I buckled. I wanted to eat, but Heather stopped me, just like I asked her to. I drank half a glass of OJ & soymilk, and some lemon water. None of that sounds appetizing I’m sure, but it did the trick and was delicious.

Fast - Day 3

So, I’m half way through day 3 of my water fast. I hope that what people are saying about it getting easier after the third day is true. I have to say, today is the day I really feel like I’m going to fail at this. I woke up at 3am last night and wasn’t able to sleep again until 5am. Granted I was able to get some reading done, but I would have much rather been sleeping. It is much more difficult than I thought, God only knows why I had it in my head that going 7 days without anything but water would be an easy thing to do.

Fast - Day 2

Well, it’s sure not easy to focus at the moment. It’s just past lunch time and it occurs to me that I’d probably drink ketchup right now if I would let myself. It’s amazing to me how I’ll informed people are about what the body needs to survive. Someone said “you’re crazy, you can’t go more than 5 days without food, you’ll die.”

Fast Beginning.

I can’t count the number of odd looks I’ve gotten in the past couple of days.

I’ve decided to try to fast for seven days, a water fast at that. So (for those of you that don’ t know) what that means is that I won’t ingest anything other than water for seven days and nights. I am not doing this for anything other than the fact that I want to know if I can, maybe find some enlightenment along the way. From what I hear there are a lot of health benefits to doing this.

Those of you that know me already know how much food I generally pack away in this 174 lbs. so you already know that this is no small undertaking.

Ladies and gentlemen, it is 3 hours into day one and I think my stomach knows what I plan to do. I never eat breakfast, ever…yet I wake up this morning already hungry. My stomach is rebelling.

I am going to keep writing entries each day of this self-imposed challenge, so um…keep checking in on me, just incase my stomach decides to digest my brain.

Time for a nap.

Well folks, just wanted to hop on here real quick and tell you that I I just finished principal photography for a new ad campaign today. We shot the TV spots, recorded the radio, and nailed the print pieces all in the last two days.

Tomorrow and Friday I’ll be out overseeing the editing of the TV spots and we should have one of them ready to rock and on air by September. I’m really excited to tell you all more about it, but I can’t yet. I can say that we had a tremendous group of people working on it and everyone did an amazing job.

I’m exhausted and I’m not sure I can keep writing without revealing something I shouldn’t, so until I know I am allowed to say more we will all have to sit with baited breath.

Stay tuned.
