Day three of the fasting, when I got home last night I was thinking this is it, I will get through the open and then eat on my lunch, how much can my body take right? Then it hit me I am not thinking with all three aligned. I Can do more than I think and my body can handle more.

So I ended the night with three slices of bread, banana nut, asiago, jalapeño Cheddar and a IPA :) yes it was time for a brew, you know the monks always fasted with liquid bread. So I guess this has become a bread and beer fast. How appropriate.  The IPA was inversion IPA from Deschutes brewery , now this is one of my favorites for sure but this one was to be remembered. The citrus and floral that came through last night was unbelievable. What an amazing feeling to drink a brew and feel like it was the first time. For sure a highlight of this stage of the fast.

To the say the least I was a cheap date, one brew and feeling fine. Now the main reason for the brew last night was to sleep, I was feeling like I would never want to sleep again, got here at 4:30 am and have been on fire, the feeling of clarity and focus, the extra aromas, the sense of awareness at this stage in the fast, the none stop energy. Crazy.

( hours later ) settled in on the couch, about to have an inversion IPA . I have had two slices of bread this evening as well as one brew. My energy level is still way up there, my body feels great, all the senses are still just off the charts. I am kinda sad I am ending this fast tonight. I was thinking at one point yesterday how can I feel this good with so little going in to my body. Then I remembered the last time I had a big lunch.  That dragged down feeling shortly after? Last time I thought in the middle of a day " just a little more coffee" I have no urge for coffee or sugar at all during the day, just water.  I now know my body can do way more than I think, with way less than we think.  I will for sure be fasting on a regular basis, maybe once a month for now.  The feeling of energy and clarity is amazing, now to see how long it last. Tonight is all about a good craft beer buzz, some easy food like hummus and bread.
