Day 6 of Water Fast

Today is day 6 of the water fast. I had a good, sound sleep last night and even hosted a social event at a restaurant but stuck to my water with lime.

I am now down 15.6 pounds and am thrilled. I was aiming to see if the 3 pounds per day was possible and the past couple days I'm averaging 2 pounds per day. Considering most weight loss programs have a person trying to lose 2 pounds per week, I'm already 7 weeks ahead.

This water fast has been so much easier than the first one that was 8 days. By having the new scales and www.FitDay.com making so many wonderful improvements to their site, I am finding many ways to be visually inspired to keep plugging away.

I'm toying with the idea of wondering if I would be able to water fast 20 or 30 days. We shall see. But if my energy levels stay high like they have been, it certainly seems achievable.

Yesterday I went on some massive cleaning kick - detail work like baseboards, etc. Just had lots of energy to expel. Emotionally I am feeling very calm and grounded and at peace. Meditations are averaging 20-30 minutes (I never set a timer - just go with the flow).

I'm grateful that we've had a lot of storms move through and the temps are about 20 degrees lower than they have been so it's been nice to be able to open the windows to the loft and let the fresh air in.

Today my focus is organizing an area where I had placed some boxes fill with various paper stuff. I realized while reviewing one of my feng shui books that that area was my "Helpful People / Travel" section and since I'm awaiting the green light on a project that would have us seriously traveling and I REALLY want this project, naturally I'm pulling that area together. As luck would have it, it's the only area in the loft that needed attention.
