Day 16.

Five days to go.

And I'm counting!

Day eight arrived, and I woke up expecting a burst of energy like I’d read from other long-term fasters.

I got up, showered, took my morning supplements, and waited.

And waited.

And waited some more.

There was no point in the day when I felt like I wanted to do jumping jacks or had any especially enlightened thoughts.

The day just passed.

And that’s okay.

For the next two days no big bursts of energy or enlightenment came, but I felt some kind of delighted satisfaction in knowing I made it to day ten.

I celebrated with a little rest on the lawn under the sunshine.

I’m halfway there.
