Fast / ayunar

 

Ok so I got sick, some kind of wintertime bug. Feeling very headachey and low energy. That was Tuesday so by Tuesday evening I still had my regular kind of greedy appetite (overweight). Eating like six beef sausages (that's alot but I'm also a very big guy, like 250 pounds). 


Then I got weaker and weaker so I decided to stop eating and only drink water, no tea or coffee like during Ramadan fasting (where I take shortcuts). 


A similar thing happened when I got corona virus and stopped eating for a few days. So I went from Tuesday evening, sixty hours through Friday morning, eating nothing. Not even adding salt to my water. Apparently you should take magnesium or potassium and salt, while fasting. Anyway I had none of it and slept way more than usual during those sixty hours. Plus I experienced headache near the pre frontal cortex as if I had brain damage there and an aneurysm. I was even thinking about going to hospital on the weekend.


Then anyway I schlepped through it, finally going outside (it's too cold), for kids soccer training. I had let folks know I was unwell and directed kids to other coaches where need be, shmoozed a little with some dads, one of them reporting a similar situation of being knocked out for three days with a bug and only just getting up. Didn't stay long at soccer but it was nice to see some folks after being alone two or three days. Finally this morning I broke fast after sixty hours with half a banana and a cough lolly. I know from the time I once fasted three days straight in 1996: only ever break fast slowly and with fruit. Maybe dates or dried fruit. I'd just go for fruit. So a few hours later I had some carrot, about one. Then a while later another carrot plus a sprinkle of salt mixed in with warm water.


As I'm still sick and it's still cold plus I have to work tomorrow (Saturday) and inspect and monitor Fox News on my bus depot break times, I'm conserving energy including by not eating where possible.


I am looking forward to an old looking orange and definitely lots of water. Thank God my blood pressure from being such a fatty overeater and shit eater has taken a plummet as the brain damage head injury scary brain headache has disappeared. I still have a cough and weakness however this is supplanted by a feeling of well-being and cleanliness in the body and mind.


I also managed to fry up and refrigerate the remaining half dozen sausages from a plastic packet, storing them well cooked in glass, without actually touching them (touching raw meat can make it seep through your hand skin into your body).

 

I was pleased to see Australia's star journalist Nick McKenzie cause the CFMEU to cause a disruption between themselves and the Labour Party and I think if the Australian mainstream media can continue shining a spotlight on that, that would be good. Because otherwise Victoria State will always be a left wing nutjob state. I do like the Victorians, however, and I'm always pleased to be amongst them.


I also hope 60 Minutes will do an expose on the paedo Tasmanian police guy that got a full honour funeral from the Tasmanian police after suiciding for being investigated for being a paedo. What a disgrace.


Anyway I was too sick to work this week or was having a day off Monday so it's like I won't get back to my locker hasta mañana, Saturday, and I'll only get paid for Saturday. Low earnings, no holiday pay/sick pay as I'm just a casual driver.


So coming into approximately hour 70 of this fast, I've also had that aforementioned orange, preceded by a third of a small avocado. It's amazing how amazing and awesome these breakfast fruit and veges like carrots, bananas, avocados, oranges, are. I also finished the morning's small banana, finishing the last fifth or so of that.



Shrink talks no carbs, eat meat
