The past week or so has been a veritable smörgåsbord of eating out and late night dinners, due mainly to the gathering of Shaolin-Do friends for testing and competing at this year's tournament. For those that know me, I am (almost) always thinking about food and/or eating and it is a rare occasion when I'm not in the mood to go out to eat, regardless of time or place. As a result of the past week's gluttony, however, I now feel like a fat cow. I weighed myself this morning and I was only 170, a good 3-4 pounds lighter than I thought I'd be, but it feels like I'm carrying around a sack of potatoes, thus my impromptu decision to fast for the next 72 hours...
I have fasted before, usually for 72 hours each time, allowing myself only water for the entire 3 days. This time I will also be drinking green tea, as it has some natural appetite suppressants and should help keep some of my energy up for the duration of the fast. My last meal was around 1am this morning, and it was a pretty nice meal to go out on. I'm working 2nd shift at work this week (4pm - 12am), and I ended up at Kerby Lane afterwards to read and get some grub. If you think their pancakes are good in the morning, try having them after midnight, they are phenomenal! I had one strawberry and one pumpkin pancake, along with half a pita pizza. Hit the spot without question.
So now I am about 16 hours into my fast, drinking a green tea, and obsessively thinking about what 2nd shift will be getting for dinner tonight. I think it is chicken fried steak night. I know it makes me a horrible person, but that just sounds so good right now. With mashed potatoes. And rolls. And cream gravy. Ok, Tommy, think happy thoughts. This is a great green tea. Very refreshing. With added citrus for that little extra kick. And cream gravy. Argh...
