Lets Fast!

trav·el   /ˈtrævəl/ Show Spelled [trav-uhl] Show IPA verb, trav·eled, trav·el·ing or ( especially British ) trav·elled, trav·el·ling, noun, adjective - verb (used without object)
1. to go from one place to another, as by car, train, plane, or ship; take a trip; journey: to travel for pleasure.

2. to move or go from one place or point to another.

3. to proceed or advance in any way.

I'm traveling this time by proceeding to advance ahead in my life, by moving from my stagnant point to a place that is flowing with life, lightness and cleansing.

So I decide to challenge myself and go on a three day fast. It's a road that I've not traveled in a very very long time. A journey that I no doubt need in order to reset my body so it will begin to do what I want and need it to do for weight loss, health and freshness. And more important than that, it's a reset within myself that will also allow me to purge the toxins that have built up in my body, mind and soul.

In the last few years I have rid myself of some pretty toxic people. People that I so gullibly thought were my friends for one reason or another, only to come to realize they were nothing more than a weight tied around my ankles pulling me down into the muck. And as those toxic people have been purged from my life, I have been quite blessed with adding new friends and rekindling old friends in the last few years and they are seemingly much better suited with the person I am today.

So, this will undoubtedly be an interesting ride, to say the least, as I read, study, pray and meditate my way through the next three days and to becoming lighter (in more ways than one!)

Mike decided that he too would like to take this little three day journey with me and quite honestly I am very pleased that he did because it certainly makes it easier to do with a buddy and he too has some purging to do since the loss of his mother nearly a year ago.

It's not been bad at all. There were two rough areas for me but that's good because I now know what and where they are so I can go through my days more aware. We've not really been hungry at all, only caught up in the trap of routine that has made us think we've needed one thing or another when indeed we didn't.
So now here it is, late the first night and we're sipping the Green Tea that we failed to have this morning and soon it'll be time for bed. One day down!!!
