40 Days Lent Beer Challenge to Help Refugees

Off with the nausea, after yesterday´s episode, waking up without them and a headache feels like heaven. Nevertheless, when I drank the first beer the nausea came back and I wanted to throw everything away again. I called the doctor and he's trying to convince me to at least eat something solid, like a chicken soup with veggies, because if not, my stomach it's going to full of air. I thought I could handle it, you know, didn't Jesus stayed 40 days and 40 nights in the dessert without eating anything? After throwing everything again, I think Jesus must have eaten some roots or something, because this is crazy. I can assure that this J. Wilson must have also eaten something solid every day. So, after the chamomile, I ate some toast (one of those mexican dried tortillas we use for Ceviche) with some cheese, to give protein to my body. The result? I haven't feel that good in days, even before the challenge. En español: Las náuseas han desaparecido, después ...

Last night I ended up with terrible nausea and a tremendous headache. Today hasn´t been better. I woke up with the same pain and I decided to overslept 1 more hour. The first thing I did on my toothless part of the day was to drink some water, and that fade away the headache, but the nausea came back as soon as I drank the first drop of beer. It took me about an hour and a half to end it, which is weird, and I was so tired and with so much pain that I had to nap for half an hour after my classes finished. By the way, deleting my social networks... brilliant. I can now focus and do more in less time. It is impressive to realize how addicted I was to them seeing how constantly I open my phone to find nothing, so now I use that time to write. After that I went out and make shopping and then I took a nap, this time only because I was tired. I finally woke up, determined to drink the second beer, but the nausea and the stomach ache showed up. I hadn't even get to the half...

Well, I have published my idea of doing this challenge in the early morning and the comments haven´t stop flowing. Some are good, of support and even admiration, and most of them are negative because they think I am crazy. I know what I'm dealing with, it's going to affect my health in several ways, especially in my liver and my kidneys. I will be tired all the time, with constant headaches (which I already have). I will have a huge loss of weight that may rebound after I finish this diet, I will even risk my heart because of the high levels of potassium, my tongue would feel really sharp and that I will have gastrointestinal problems. The diet as soon as I finish the challenge will have to be also liquid, and I still need to maintain an strict level of exercise to avoid losing so many muscle.  But here we are, doing it because today there are lots of people who had to run away from their homes because of the war in their countries and that they don't e...

So this crazy idea has been set in motion, yet, I think it is better to explain the challenge. The Catholic Lent last 40 days, so 40 days living a diet based on beer and water. A diet of 4 beers a day, 4 doppelbock beers and water, nothing else. The simple idea is crazy, but this is how committed I am to the cause, I am doing this to help Refugees. And if I can get people to by inspired by this and make a donation, at least it would be helpful. So this is a Lent Challenge for the Refugees, but it is also a Lent for focusing, for a mental and physical detox, a Lent for prayer, for re-discovering myself. So this blog it's going to be about every outcome of this challenge.  So let's hope this Lent Challenge works, because, even though J. Wilson made it through, I really don't know how is it going to harm me. Español: Así que esta idea loca ya se ha puesto en marcha, aunque creo que es mejor explicar detalladamente de qué se trata. La Cuare...
