My weekend getaway to Arcata with Mary was a huge success. We saw the important people in our lives that we wanted to see, enjoyed doing what young college-town people do on the weekend, had a whole rainy day of girly shopping, went out for a beautiful sushi dinner, and had about 12 hours of girl talk while driving up and down highway 101. I knew I would probably let myself go this weekend, as far as eating and drinking went, and indeed I did exactly that. I don't think I need to go into specific detail regarding this complete omission of the healthy eating rules I've been following, so I won't.
I will, however, announce that starting tomorrow, Mary and I will begin tapering off the amount of food we eat in preparation for another fast. I feel like it was a bit harsh to start the water-only fast cold-turkey, so this time I'm going to try eating very small portions first, then just fruit, then juice, and then water and probably tea (as I just stocked up on an outstanding Essiac tea in Humboldt). I think it would be interesting to see how long we can go on just water. I wonder what will be different about fasting with someone else, and I'm looking forward to it! It will also make me happy to see the pounds start to fall again, as well. Stay tuned for further exciting developments.
