Day 8 ‚Äì Brown Rice Fast Day 4

Hello!

It’s day 5 today and after some computer issues last night, i’m pleased to be here updating you on how it’s going…

Yesterday passed by very smoothly. My head still felt tender but I’m pleased to say that today it is remarkably less so.

Breakfast

Pre-roasted & pressure cooked brown rice with gomasio

Lunch

Pre-roasted & pressured cooked brown rice with tekka & a splash of shoyu

1/4 cup of Twig tea

Dinner

Pressure cooked & then oven baked brown rice with shoyu and gomasio (mmm, this felt soo nourishing to eat. The rice was sooo soft and creamy again!)

1/4 cup of Twig tea

So, it’s day 5 now and I woke up this morning feeling excited about the possibility of making brown rice balls coated in gomasio for lunch!! he he!

Other than feeling like I could have slept a little bit longer this morning I feel content &¬†centred. I am so surprised that I am not feeling deprived, bored¬†or ill! (but there is still much time left so of course, that is still possible…). I am also not feeling hungry so I will wait until I feel hungry before I eat again…

Stepping outside into the cold autumn air felt soooo lovely this morning, it makes me want to be outside spending time in nature! Mmmm! I¬†also have an urge to do some exercise so I think I will go for a run tomorrow.

I feel incredibly inspired¬†at the moment and¬†doing this brown rice fast feels like another tool for allowing me to understand, to learn and to make more sense of macrobiotics, aswell as allowing my body to heal and regenerate. I think it’s so important not to get lost, obsessed¬†or too caught up in doing a brown rice fast otherwise it feels like the point of doing it is lost.

I didn’t have any macro remedy yesterday, and probably won’t do¬†any over this weekend as I am visiting my family. However, I will start having a daily hip bath with dried daikon leaves from Sunday evening :O) yay!

I’m really really looking forward to seeing how the next few days go.

Love & faith
