The past three days have been Feast days. As before, I did not feel an urge to actually "feast" -- probably because I didn't want to undo the good I'd done on my Fasting days.
The main ways I've indulged is in drinking a bit more alcohol (including 2 social engagements) and in dessert (more Ben and Jerry's fro-yo). But I do find myself taking more time to make my food choices: trying to make them healthy and filling, not just eating mindlessly.
Today I baked bread so of course I ate some of that (mmm, freshly-baked bread). If you've never tried James Lahey of NYC's Sullivan Street Bakery's famous "No-Knead Bread" technique, don't walk, run to this site for more info! Actually, I used a variation of that recipe, the Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day version. Both are divine -- and really work!
Just try to eat the bread (or give it away) before your next Fasting day!
Tomorrow: Week 2
