FAST: Day Three

We made it!

Three days and it really wasn't all that bad, as a matter of fact we're going to do it again in a few months because we feel so refreshed, lighter and clean!

The one thing that was really an opener was the fact that our senses were seemingly heightened. Especially our sense of smell and that wasn't made apparent until we went o the store to get groceries for the week ahead.

There was one gentleman that walked past us in which the smell of meat was overwhelmingly horrid! MEAT? REALLY? But not in a good way, oh no, no, no, this was. . . . ICKY!
He looked hot and sweaty and the smell seemed to ooze from his pores. It was nearly more than we could bear...in a bad way.

You'd think if anything our senses to food would be, oh I don't know, desirable?

Next, we walked past a women with the most horrid body oder we've ever smelled. It carried for several isles. This is getting almost ridiculous! As a matter of fact the smells were everywhere and they were not pleasant.

The other thing we noticed was that going through the different isles and seeing all the bright and colorful boxes, bags, cans and containers, we became hungry, really hungry for the first time since day one.

The lure of sight? Staying home and concentrating on what we were traveling through with this fast helped us immensely I believe, to get through it.

All in all we are both quite happy with this little trip through the unexplored and look forward to using it to our best advantage. We both lost a few pounds, which is obvious to happen, and it may very well come back, this wasn't done for instant weight loss, this was done for a reset, a mental reset, a physical reset, a healthful eating reset, a chance to see where we need improvement and how to go about achieving it.

I would advise anyone to give a fast a try, if for nothing else, just to test your willpower.
