Since beginning my yearlong program on September 1st, I have lost six pounds. My routine has included more jogging and Goju-Ryu training than I had anticipated up to this point, but less weight training and yoga than I wanted to do.
I have been doing my daily Zen meditation for about 10 minutes at night prior to sleeping. And, I have fasted each week for one 24-hour period without any problems. I think I may increase the fasting length since it hasn't been that much of a challenge doing the 24 hour fast. I've only done water only or protein shake fasts.
