Good morning everybody... I'm on Day 4 woohoo.. LOL.. a little sarcastic. My energy level has definitely dropped.. that or I'm still groggy. Or both. Last night I weighed myself again and have dropped down to 154.4 lbs from my starting weight of 160.6 lbs.

I feel like I've lost more weight in three days than would be recommended?

I mean I don't mind the weight loss.. just wondering because on previous fasts I usually lost about 1 pound a day. This time is pretty much 2 pounds a day if you average it out.

I also had my first experience of not being able to sleep when I wanted to during this fast last night. Instead of heeding to my own advice that I had recommended to RawDad(which was bad advice, from what I found out later) I decided I'll just lay here and take it. I don't like sitting still. Or having to do the advised "lay in bed and stay still/close your eyes" which is best for the body to heal itself during the fast. BUT I did. It felt like an eternity. I finally decided to turn on my night light and that really helped. I did not feel like I had to sleep since the light was on.. I was just there.. and finally slept..obviously cause I just woke up to the sunshine :)

Anyways.. I didn't have any crazy dreams(that I remember). I do feel like I have developed an ulcer in the back left side of my mouth but I can't find it. I can feel it though. My gums coloring is slightly better, but also look like they are getting smaller like I can see more teeth where teeth meet the gums. They are still dark in the front areas though.. Teeth don't look any whiter than yesterday. I guess you can't ask for that much after 3 days.

So thats it.. the beginning of Day 4. Happy fasting everyone!
