fast for 3 days

I didn’t intend on doing this right now, but when I realized I hadn’t eaten anything on Monday I figured I might as well see how hard the 3 day mark would be… I wasn’t even hungry at the 48 hour mark, but a co-worker asked me to grab dinner… rather than trying to explain anything to him I just joined him for the meal.

One thing I will say for certain, “hunger is the best sauce”. I KNOW that I appreciated that meal more than I typically do.

With the rash of emergency situations in the US lately, there has been a lot of talk about 72 hour kits. Essentially, those in the know think that families need to be prepared to fend for themselves for 3 days, because that is about how long it takes to get recovery efforts going during/after a disaster. In a slightly related vein I was reading a little about the “Rules of Three’s” the other day. The author was talking about fasting once a month as a form of emergency preparation. Also how many people struggle because they have never really had to deal with hunger. Anyway it inspired me to add this goal. Additionally I’m attracted to putting some goals up that have a shorter life cycle. It’s always nice to finish something.
