With pleasure! I’ll start by saying that I’m very surprised to notice that I don’t miss hot beverage in the morning… I haven’t missed it during my previous fast either. And that’s coming from a girl that l-o-v-e-s her coffee with 35% cream in the morning so much that my usual morning routine is orchestrated around it (strong coffee right after I wake up, flavored coffee when I put my makeup on). I tried having hot tap water before fasting and I enjoyed it so I’ll resort to that if I do miss a warm drink. Here’s how I usually drink my water:
500 ml of tap water right when I wake up. I’m at day 4 now and haven’t put Himalayan salt yet but I will have the same drink with the salt in it in a couple of days.
I pump my marvelous soda stream and bring my carbonated water bottle to work and I’ll be drinking it until it’s empty (approximately 800 ml) and then fill with tap water.
When I arrive home I either will have salt water, tap or carbonated. It depends on what I feel like. I stop drinking a few hours before bed just to prevent waking up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. Those blissful uninterrupted sleep nights are rare but so precious!
So this is just a blueprint of how I drink during the day. It will vary depending on my mood. In my previous fast I tried apple cider vinegar but it wasn’t working for me and actually causing acid reflux.
I don’t feel empty but I do experience occasional stomach growls, but less and less!
Hope tomorrow will be a good day for you, mine was okay, I will update my journal later
