Yesterday I stayed away from meat and caffeine again. I'm still a day or two away from de-toxing the caffeine in my system, so I've been feeling sluggish. I think it takes 4 days for you to flush caffeine out of your system. I was drinking 1-4 cups of strong tea a day, which isn't that much caffeine, but there you have it. I've pretty much been eating as much as I want, but with a restricted diet. Yesterday it was juice, salads and lima beans, and some baklava, a flaky, nutty, honey-soaked Greek sweet.
Today it'll be raw or boiled vegetables, maybe a bowl of cereal for breakfast, and salads. This winter I've been eating raw cabbage and spinach salads, with olives, feta, and olive oil. Today I'll cut out the feta and cut down on the oil.
The weather the last few weeks in Greece has been very pleasant- sunny with highs in the 50s-60s. Things are cooling down now, which makes it feel more like winter. Still and all it's warm compared to where I'm from, the Chicago area.
I've already had some opposition to this fast. The day before yesterday I received a pretty nasty email from an old friend who had misunderstood something I'd recently said. I had to fight back the desire to reply in kind, and sent a nice answer, and got an apology in return. But then I got into a disagreement with my wife and was not nearly so gracious, and had to do some backtracking of my own. This, in a sense, might be good in that it shows I'm doing what God wants me to do right now, and Mr. S., as Zoe likes to call him, does not like it.
