Tired.
Note to self: never start a fast without the ingredients already in hand.
I didn't get to the store last night before it closed and therefor was without the juice necessary to make my concoction. This morning, I woke up, drank a liter of salt water, and went to work. At work I drank 2 liters of water. That was it. I am sooo tired. Luckily, after work, Mariel and I went to the grocery store to buy some juice.
So I just drank my first liter of wonderful juice. The measurements go like this... 1/4 cup of juice, 1/4 cup of sugar, 1/8 of a teaspoon of cayenne pepper and fill the rest of the Nalgene with water. It is surprisingly flavorful. The pepper kinda weirds me out but its not entirely bad tasting. Overall, I wasn't terribly hungry today outside of an hour around lunch time. If this time is like last time, tomorrow and the next day will be the hardest. After that, I remember my stomach having shrunk a bit and therefor the hunger didn't come on so strong. We'll see.
Right now, Mariel is reluctantly cooking in the kitchen. It smells magical.
