I was really pleased with how the bread turned out when I finally got to cut it open last night. Nothing special, but it's bread and it's cool to know I can continue to make it with practically no effort and at practically no cost.

After a day of my monk fast, I've gone from 177.6lbs to 175.7lbs. Not that crazy, since I think I fluctuate that much from day-to-day without doing anything differently. And I imagine a lot of it was just water loss since I I went from two pots of coffee and tons of water to just 750ml of water per day.

Sort of a fun exercise in self-control though. And with a head constantly full of thoughts of "I should do this" or "I could do that", removing food and drink from it has kind of a calming effect.
