…is over! Thank goodness. I enjoyed my first real meal last night – we were in the city again, eating out with friends – after the 3 day fast. It tasted unbelievable! I made a healthy choice of lemon-crusted salmon and spinach and each bite was like a little bit of flavoured heaven!

Day 3 was another really busy one and so I wasn’t able to get a run in. However, I downloaded a pretty neat home muscle routine from Men’s Health, thanks Konrad! Feeling the burn today!

So far, I think I’m on track. I feel much better this morning and already I’m starting to crave sugar less and fresh food stuffs more. The fast was easier to accomplish than I suspected, I may try it again next week. However, I think 3 days is the limit for anyone who still has real-world responsibilities. You have to keep a clear head, or at least remain conscious, to get any real work done especially if you’re expected at business meetings or operating heavy machinery!

The other good news? At this morning’s daily weigh-in, the needle stopped at just 184. Ah, the sweet smell of success!
