Cleansing

Before Day 1, which will be tomorrow, I've taken some time to prepare for the fast and it feels sort of nice. Usually I don't worry about my skin or nails until need be, but then it is too late. Last night I went and spent about $50 on products to pamper myself with a bit through this process, or at least maintain myself a bit.

This will hopefully be as beneficial a time as possible for both my mind and body. I don't mean to sound like some pretentious soul-searching twat, really... I am quite happy being cynical, generally. But after just having my heart torn out of my body and beaten into a million pieces... a fast is just what I need to recollect myself - and in the meanwhile I will be dropping the pounds that are plaguing me.

I bought some bath stuff and a new razor for shaving, these give me distractions as well as are relaxing. I also got some new lotions for firming along the way and some skin (facial) products for when the blotchy skin and blemishes inevitably start showing up.
