Approaching 48 hours and going strong.

The scale showed some weight loss in the morning but I suspect that it is mostly fluid.

Enjoyed a tall americano at 9 a.m. and have felt good all day. Some stomach growling before lunchtime passed after a few minutes.

As is almost always true unless I have just eaten, I would be happy to consume something, but I don't feel uncomfortable, and enjoy that I can do other things with my food time. I seem to be thinking about eating more than usual. It's like a little voice saying "Remember those portobello mushrooms in the fridge? I bet they're still there..."

I enjoyed a dozen sea salt crystals one by one after noon, about a gram. I am also trying to drink more water.

It will be fun to break the fast, and I haven't decided how. I plan to go slow and savor every bite for a while.
