Today was Day 2 in the blood:water mission 40 Days of water. For a little more info on this, refer to the second link there.
It was not as bad as day 1. I only had one really bad head ache, and I did end up taking an excedrin migraine for it. That helped, but I did feel like it was cheating. (I’m hoping tomorrow will be the last one (If I even have to have another one), and that it will be not as severe as the one from today and yesterday.)
And speaking of cheating. I have not yet. Like I said yesterday, I was very tempted to, and today I didn’t even really have the temptation. I think part of that is the accountability issue. I would hate to let down all of my faithful followers (All 5 of you), and my friends who now know about this. In all honesty though, I think the accountability is a big part of trying to do something like this. And by that I mean…Just about anything. It helps when you’re trying to accomplish something, or reach a certain goal to have some people who are asking you about it, and trying to push you on towards it.
I also, and I am fully aware of how laughable this is, went on a run today. I mean. It probably only lasted about 15 minutes. Tops. Because that was when my body said “If you don’t stop. I will stop you.” So I decided to cool it for the day. But it felt good. Mostly. And I think I might try it again tomorrow.
I’m not sure if I’m going to be updating about this EVERY day, but I will definitely be keeping you posted throughout the process.
Cheers,
Stippick
