As of noon today, I had gone a full 24 hours consuming only water. I was an hour late for work (got there around 9:00 am) due to blinding headaches... maybe I should have weaned myself off caffeine before this! Other than caffeine withdrawal, it hasn't been too bad. I've been hungry and craving some comfort foods, but nothing I cannot handle. Sailing went well, as I expected, and I did not feel weak or faint or nauseous. It was a stressful day (car problems... ended up getting it towed to a garage) so I did break down in the evening and drank a cup of black tea. I don't believe that this will affect the schedule of my fast, but I will have to avoid a repeat if I want to stick to a strict water fast.
Medical Note
The first full day doesn't include any physiological changes, as there is still food passing through the gut and ample blood sugar in the, er, blood.
