Good morning, Steemians!

Today begins my second whole day without food, just water. It's been about 38 hours total since I've eaten anything.

Day 2

Woke up around 5:40 AM, and I’m NOT TIRED! Went to feel for my eye boogers to take them out, but there weren’t any! I had heard this only happens to people who eat cooked food, and that when we eliminate cooked food from our diets, the eye boogers go away. Interesting.

6:30 AM - Already 1.5 days in and I have no eye boogers! I also woke up to the sound of thunder and the sight of lightning. Looks like it’s storming a few miles away. I no longer have a headache from caffeine withdrawals. I also feel great all around.

Sunrise Off Clouds

About a week ago I cut my chin shaving on the right side of my chin, and a couple days ago it swelled up to 3 times its normal size. It was probably infected under the skin… I had been using warm water on rags to compress along with hydrogen peroxide and since the beginning of the water fast it’s slowly gone down and down and now it’s negligible; comparable to a very small pimple.

My mother is coming today from Chicago to spend my birthday with us. She got these awesome vegan doughnuts that we’ve both had before that she’s bringing, but I think she was disappointed when I told her I was water fasting. I told her I’d eat them when I am finished (if they are still good).
