Brown Rice Fast

Today is day two of my hopeful 10 day brown rice fast. This is not my first time in the rodeo, but I remember the last time I embarked on this, I basically stopped eating at day 7. BAD. This time I feel convicted to go as long as I can, and continue to eat adequately. Day one was A LOT harder than I remember day one being last time. By the end of the day, I was hungry. Really hungry. Like, I wanted to quit. Already? Day one? I asked myself...no I will continue. I was kinda pissy last night, too. Angry at Brian for no real reason, but not interested enough to be mad for real... and just probably frustrated that I couldn't cook my rice to a nice texture. This morning, however was a new morning... a new outlook. My shower took 20 minutes today. I felt good ... I felt alive, I felt calm... I felt smoother-my skin, and my motions, my thought processes. I felt more confident, actually. (A really good, few and far between emotion that I so welcome... ) Usually I start getting this rush of thoughts that I want to accomplish when I feel confident... like this stuff has to get done immediately. Today, I felt those thoughts welling up... but the anxious feeling didn't follow... it was like, I knew what I wanted to do, but felt clear... and again, calm. I have a new encouragement to continue...
