This morning was another early start. 430 felt like 230. My brain did not want to wake up, and I was still full from dinner when we woke. Have you ever tried to force yourself to eat something when you were already full? It's not a pleasant feeling. I had to force myself to drink water, and my stomach has felt bloated all morning. However, my hopes are high as I can focus on the fact that I was successful in completing the first week... that has to count for something.

Ramadan Day 8
Woohoo! I did it, I survived a whole week! Thank you to everyone for the positive comments and feedback. It really helps knowing I have a (small) fan base out there! Day 7 was really harder than previous days. I actually felt hungry yesterday. Previous days, hunger passed quickly, and my stomach was able to quiet. Yesterday however, while teaching class, my stomach decided to declare my participation in Ramadan... over and over again, loud enough for my students to hear. After work, I watched a movie to distract myself, which was a great technique. Only problem was, I didn't notice the clock ticking toward sun down. As hungry as we were, dinner was actually 10 min later than it could have been.
