apparently if ypu've never fasted for ramadan before but you start on the 27th day (today) and finish it then you get all the kudos or blue peter badges or whatever it is fasting gets you.

no food, liquids (except water, i'm not going without water all day that's just stupid) sex during the day :'-(

i'm giving the no alcohol at all one a by too since i don't think allah will smite me for having a few beers at band practice tonight or on friday when i'm out.

i just thought i'd give my willpower a little test / kick up the arse

today shouldn't be too bad since i got up at noon and can eat at about half 6 but tomorrow i'll be up from half 6. that's 12 hours without food and i doubt i've got the inclination to get up earlier than i need to just to eat.

i'll keep you guys updated

it'll be interesting to see how much weight i lose too because i'm confident this morning i was 172.....
