I started this when I was in the middle of reading LastRock last year, but completely forgot about it. The description of the Blood Ox really stood out to me. He was a very memorable character I’ve wanted to draw my interpretation of him ever since.

I finally have a chance to jump into listening to Book 4 soon!

Could've just been something plain like Chin the Conqueror or something. Rangi, Kelsang, and Yun!

I had a bit of an epiphany about my health and how I wasn't doing a lot about it. On May 5th I was determined to do something about it to prove to myself that food doesn't control me and went into it cold turkey. I have fasted before and I have fasted for 14 days before but that was only once many years ago and it was also the last time I had genuinely fasted. It would be wiser to do smaller fasts first but I just needed to do something instead of overthinking into doing nothing.

I consumed nothing but water and took 9 capsules per day of fasting salts capsules (1000mg Sodium, 500mg Potassium, and 70mg Magnesium per 3 capsules). I worked, smoked marijuana every day of the fast, and kept myself busy with projects and activities. No exercise, I wanted to walk an 1hr a day but I decided not to.

I could've kept going. I have plenty of energy and I am still physically strong. The only weakness I felt was my cardio. Walking up a single flight of stairs left me winded for minutes. However, I learned a lot about my relationship with food and moderation. I'm going to move to eating healthier meals and 48-72 hour fasts each week. I probably wouldn't do an extended fast this long again, but I could see myself doing a 7 day fast in the future, but I'm more interested in building a lifestyle I can maintain.

I lost 19 lb on the scale but my shirts fit much better, my leg swelling disappeared, and I was really productive with my time and discovered new interests.

I plan to start refeeding on either broth or making a light soup with no solids for a couple days and then see how I feel. It was an interesting experience is all I'll say.

Say what you want about whether their last attempt was good or bad, but I think its great they was able to take the feedback, improve their skills, and give us at least an idea of what this show could look like with more. I personally think its an improvement
