Viraja
Jaya Jagannatha!
I'm attempting to keep a fast today, limited to dairy and fruits, maybe a small mixed salad. Salads are iffy though, many items to avoid on a fast day. So maybe just dairy (no cheese except curd because of the possibility of animal enzymes) and fruit. As I was leaving the temple yesterday the manager said to me "Tomorrow night!" I said disappointedly, "I know, but I can't make it". My coworker said she can't either. I said well then, I don't feel too badly.
So anyway...

I am keeping ekadasi fast, but breaking it at sunset.
To keep the fast going during the day, I tell to myself, "Hey, you! you need all that to kill all your bad vasanas...!".
