mind over matter


Day two is down, and i think after today pretty much all of us are feeling pretty broken down.  Yesterday's excitement has run out, we are hungry and it is still too early for our bodies to be accustomed to only liquids.  Tomorrow is only going to be worse than today.  I believe tomorrow is going to be a make or break day.  I believe that if we pull through tomorrow, we will be on our way to 10days and if not at least 5-7.  I know i have to go at least to day 4 because we have bought the supplies.  I took a test today and finished a paper due tomorrow and am ready to become a sack of potatoes for the next few days.  Despite this blowing the big one, i now have a new appreciation for food, especially the smallest of foods like enjoying a cup of hot chocolate with friends, and spending time cooking omlettes.  i not only miss the food part of eating but more than that i think i miss the social aspect of coming together as a team to create nourishment for our bodies. The poop today was good, no tar yet.  I think i have come away from seeing this as a healthy matter and it has now become more of a mental challenge for me.  Do i break it off early and fall into the temptations like everything else in life? or do i stay strong suffer a little and learn from this experience and prove to myself that i do have some self discipline?  i am really hoping for the latter but i know i can only do it with the support of my friends.  tomorrow is a new day; a new challenge; a new appreciation of the simple things in life.

the picture is of us chugging our liter of salt water before hittin the poopers at the library.
