I’ve had 8 people contact me letting me know that because of this blog and my twitter / facebook updates that they are reassessing their eating habits and exercise.  Wow.  If only 1/8 people makes a permanently life change, that’s 1 person that’s going to live longer for their spouse, kids, friends, etc.  That feels great.

Oh, and on a TOTALLY selfish note, this is good for me.  The next time I’m feeling weak, in the back of my mind I know that there are people tracking this adventure I’m on and the last thing they want to read about is a crazy setback.  So cool.

It’s interesting.  Being on this fast (Day 65), I’ve really learned a lot about myself and how much of my personality is rooted in what I’m putting in my body.  Apparently I listen better now, talk more deliberately, and am much less lazy at home.  I find myself being more easy going and mild-tempered.

I think the biggest thing is that this liquid fast, which is all about moderating the need for short-term fixes for long term gains, is flowing into every aspect of my life - whether it’s spending extra money at a convenience store for water when home is 10 minutes away OR actually training my people @susco rather than just do the 5 minute task myself.

It will be interesting when I re-engage food (probably after 35 more days) to see how I do it in such a way that is still an act of self-love, not food-love.  Definitely seeing a nutritionist.  I really really don’t want to lose this feeling…
