And Lipton, black.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">I did push-ups in the evening, stopped at 60 and postponed for today. The nose didn't work very well. Maybe it was slightly weak, but I don't remember.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">In the evening, I didn't eat anything.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>I started today.<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>I went to bed last night around <strong>30 minutes before midnight<\/strong>I fell asleep very easily and pleasantly.<\/li>\n<li>Several woke up together at night. I had strange dreams. Nothing special.<\/li>\n<li>Alarm clock <strong>7:00.<\/strong> Then I snoozed until 9:30. I got up feeling good.<\/li>\n<li>I made Lipton black tea.<\/li>\n<li>Inspired by Linas Matulis and <a href=\"https:\/\/debesyla.lt\/uzrasai\/en\/peter-axt-michaela-axt-apie-tingumo-laime\/\">the book \"On the Happiness of Laziness\", <\/a>I decided that today I would starve.<\/li>\n<li>By <strong>13:00<\/strong> or something like that, I felt very good. As usual.<\/li>\n<li>About <strong>14 o'clock<\/strong> I started to feel something unusual. I don't know what. Just this feeling. Maybe it was because I was reading books and gathering knowledge for the Sloth Manifesto, or maybe it was the dull daytime air and the white, cloud-covered sky.<\/li>\n<li>About <strong>15 o'clock<\/strong> I started to feel signs of hunger. At that moment, I wanted to bite into something. A little. I got over it and made some tea. Lipton rhodes. Again. (How much can I drink?)<\/li>\n<li>About <strong>16 o'clock<\/strong> the screws started to rattle in my abdomen, I started to feel faint, a slight tingling sensation, and the image in my eyes started to rain a little. Perhaps the influence of the book 'On the Happiness of Laziness', because it says that this can happen when fasting. I do not know what the truth is.<\/li>\n<li>About <strong>17 o'clock<\/strong> I felt weak, my head started to ache (still slightly, but more), Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 in C minor, Op. 67, No. I started to question why I had taken on this challenge in the first place.<\/li>\n<li>About <strong>18 o'clock<\/strong> my head hurts, there's a dragon in my stomach, attention somewhere... Oh, squirrel! ...Erm. Somewhere in there. And him. In a word. I'm writing this. I'm going to go eat, because I'm getting a bit sick and I'm not sure this is how it's supposed to go. My body says go eat. I'm going to eat. Vegetables.<\/li>\n<li><strong>15 minutes after 18:00:<\/strong> It's hard to concentrate, my eyes hurt, my head hurts (upper part), my stomach doesn't help and makes noises. I want to sleep. If I tried to sleep I would probably give up dinner for sure. And I guess I wouldn't do push-ups in this state.<\/li>\n<li><strong>19 minutes after 18:00:<\/strong> Thank you. Have a nice day.\n<ul>\n<li><strong> Positivity:<\/strong> My nose seems a little more unstuck than it was the day before yesterday. It is easier to breathe through.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Negative:<\/strong> Read the reviews above.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>32 minutes after 18:00:<\/strong> I ate. The moment of eating seemed to be nice and better. I guess there was a hurricane in my stomach when I tried to eat the food. 2:3 of the food was vegetables. The rest was beef chops.<\/li>\n<li><strong>7pm:<\/strong> A few moments ago, I was overwhelmed by extreme drowsiness and distraction, with a concentration level of one on a ten-point scale. At this moment, attention seems to be returning. The abdomen sends almost no signals. I feel restored. I take a bite of dark chocolate.<\/li>\n<li><strong>14 minutes after 7pm:<\/strong> Nose blocked again. Eureka? Something related! I yawn and want to sleep, right. Maybe it's the nose, too?<\/li>\n<li><strong>23 hours:<\/strong> I'm back to normal. Nothing special. My nose is still slightly pinched.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Not so hungry,<br \/>\n<strong>Daniel<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p style=\"font-size: 0.8em;\">Goal of the day: <a style=\"border: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/debesyla.lt\/uzrasai\/en\/issukis-365\/\">299 words<\/a>.
