good points, ya I guess that is part of the sequence - you dont necessarily know when your in the groove you just suddenly 'are' and the time has already passed as you shared ie- crushing it in Poker or hopefully something productive. thats funny about your cooking ideas I was gunna relate the same thing! From the few fasts I have done, that was the one thing that really was vivid in the mind - your appreciation of food goes way up and so to does your creativity; so you will be planning the grandest of meals you would otherwise not be motivated to coookup during the daily grind.
