Day 4-6: BBQ's and more!

Well.  The last 4 days have flown by!  Here's a little rundown of my whole situation.

DAY 4
Honestly, I think this time around, I've really habituated to being on the cleanse.  Day 4 was completely and utterly uneventful.  I am only getting about 16oz of the dreaded SWF down before I start to gag.  So I let it be.

All in all.  Day 4 - EASY.

DAY 5
Ok.

Just kidding.

On Day 5 I was tired all day.  I am not drinking the recommended 60 oz. because I think I'm just lazy.  My stomach rumbles and I try to pay attention, but I've been so crazy busy with wedding planning that it just doesn't seem to register as important on my "thangs I gotta git done" list.  Not the healthiest attitude, I know.  I recognize that.  I accept it.  I'll try to do better.

DAY 6
This day was the toughest.  I went to a BBQ potluck today.  Everyone brought incredible homemade dishes, mostly indian or himalayan in nature.  And they all smelled and looked incredible.  To top it all off, there was BBQ!  And the icing on the proverbial cake, was some dude showed up with KFC (win!).

I'll just go ahead and post these pics from the potluck to torture myself more:

chicken drumsticks cooked with just a bunch of yummy things

It awakened the crave monster in me and it was very difficult to watch everyone eat all this amazing food.  I especially craved the chicken drumsticks.  I kept imagining myself biting into a chewy meaty part of the drumstick.  It's making me salivate right now.

I took a walk during the picnic and I felt quite at peace (once I wasn't around the food anymore).  It reminded me of my experience while I was on a silent retreat for a week last year.  I love that aspect of the fast.

Ok.  Until manana.
