    Very impressive - fresh yummy tomatoes are a huge weakness of mine! I'm not sure I would have been as strong as you... :)

    I felt hungry yesterday at 5PM. I had to leave the kitchen, knew my power was waning. Mornings are easy. Tomatoes yesterday, fritters today.

    Great drop. I usually go out on a walk when I get hungry- hunger vanishes. I haven't been able to walk last couple days and definitely harder to fight the hunger. You're being strong and you goal is just within reach. Nice job :)

    When I started this fast, I didn't know how long I would do it. I had no goal. Last night I realized that the goal of this fast is to help my knees, to move towards point they were in mid-May, when I had a business trip to Germany, and I was able to walk for 2-3 hours without problems. Fasting for 3 days has helped. Left knee - swelling gone - now no pain. Right knee - swelling down a bit - but it still hurts when I walk.

    My short-term goal now is to be able to walk for 2-3 hours by the last week of September, when I will be in Barcelona, my fav city in the whole world!!

    I'm betting the extra weight has been a big cause of the recent problems. In mid-May, I weighed ~186. When I wrecked my right knee (September 2015), I weighed 172. My new long-term goal is 165, for the health of my knees. I think this is a reasonable goal, since most of my life, until I was 50, I weighed 152-155.

    I have no goal for the length of this fast. I'm now doing it for my right knee, and I will just see how much healing this can accomplish.

    Proud of you! I'm on my 72 hour weekly fast (might go 96 hours...it was a rough weekend LOL) and it does wonders for you! I don't know HOW you did all that food prep while fasting! Amazing!

    Lol, starting to feel dizzy when I bend over to cut herbs (going to make pesto for the freezer) or to take a picture of the eclipse on our sunroom floor. Partial eclipse images created by sun filtered through wisteria leaves on the arbor outside the sunroom door.

    Aww, sorry about your right knee pain. Hope this next fast helps it like this past one did for your left knee.
