Day three is here this is supposed to be the last of my hard days and i'm excited for that. I'm excited to see if I feel that increased energy I read about. To be honest i felt a bit of that yesterday - from about 10am-2pm i felt fantastic. 3pm-7pm not so much. I got on the scale this morning and I'd lost another 3 pounds which is fantastic - i think they say after the first 3-4 days the weight loss slows to about a pound per day which is also going to be just fine with me. I have to say though there are a ton of benefits to fasting this way other than physical. I feel my mental abilities being cleansed, my judgment and my spritiuality. There's something amazing about being forced to say no to a lot of the excesses we usually participate in on a daily basis and i'm hoping i can make it much much further in this journey. I have been trying to be fairly active this summer but dissappointed how hard it's been I mean I struggled with wake boarding when i've never really struggled before, i feel like i can't breathe that well most of the time and i know when i topped 260 i started snoring. There are a lot of things i'm looking forward to leaving behind me as i continue on this journey.
Breakfast
Apple Juice

Shooting
Sport shooting is in my blood. My grandfather taught us how to shoot on the range at his house growing up - he was a professional sport shooter - even grabbing the world
silhouette shooting title in 1984. Before him we've got a long line of marksman - dating back to the
Berdan sharpshooters in the civil war. So upon returning from New Zealand last year i was just kind of drawn to it. Never really had the desire before then.
So today I shot some of the best groupings i've had since we got back from New Zealand. Here's some photos from the day. I seriously think the fast is helping me to focus, pretty amazing. All at 25 yds
Smith & Wesson Model 17-4: I usually warm up with this gun - it's my mom's gun, inherited from my grandfather and it's really fun to shoot. Today i went to the 25 yard mark and i was very surprised at my groupings. I seriously think that this fast is doing wonders for my ability to focus. This is 18 rounds.
Glock 17: This is what i finish off with. There's something i really love about the Glock. It's a fairly simple gun and it's a lot of fun to shoot. It's also incredibly light - entire thing's made of plastic basically. Now this one got even crazier as my focus got honed in. After about the initial 10 rounds the next 20 all went into the same hole basically. So above is 30 rounds of ammunition. I was very pleased with that. But excited to get that grouping even smaller.
