Another successful day so far, almost through it... Whoooooooooooooooa (as my nephew would say), this is very tough, but worth it. I tested my own will power last night by accepting tix to the Red Sox Game while doing this fast. I had a great time and even got the chance to sit right behind home plate in the box section for the last two innings. We had Standing Room Only Tix entering the park but then my friend's brother managed to score the "bling" tix and boy what an unbelievable view of the game sitting 5 rows up from the field! We had a ton of fon, there were 6 of us in the group. One thing I noticed last night was that my sense of smell is back with a vengeance. The fast is definitely working to clear up my sinuses. I guess suffering from allergies for so long, now seemingly year-round, it was weird to smell EVERYTHING, good and bad at Fenway Park. Some of the junk food smelled so good, even though I know that is soooooo bad for you. Sausages, Fenway Franks, Deep-fried chicken fingers, french fries, popcorn. Hell, I could even smell PEANUTS! Weird!
I drank my water and chewed my peppermint gum to keep my brain from thinking about food. After the game, a friend and I walked from Fenway Park to Park Street Train Stop which is about a 2.5 mile walk. The weather was great for a twilight stroll and we walked through the Boston Public Gardens which is simply GORGEOUS enroute to Park Street. According to one travel website, the BPG is #2 of the Top 10 MUST SEE sights when visiting Boston. I can see why!!
Perhaps it is the fast, maybe it is all that I have been through in the past several months, but I got such an appreciation for Boston last night. There is nothing like attending a Red Sox Game at Fenway Park. The weather is warming up, the trees are in bloom, and the city looks so brilliant at night. I thought about how lucky I was to be alive and enjoying the moment.
I have a lot more energy today, finally. I am feeling up to playing 4's Volleyball tonight, my body feels a lot better than last week. Exercise is helping and I know that this fast is helping detoxify my body while releasing unnecessary toxins.
Life is good...
