Hello everybody! I'm approaching the end/evening of day 8 of my fast. Pretty happy about that. To answer some questions.. or at least try to... I don't know why I punched the guy in my dream.. maybe it was the tofu. Most likely it was, but also truthfully and I've said this before, but I've been having trouble falling asleep or at least thinking I need to sleep when I don't and that has affected my mood. So I might just have fallen asleep pissed off and that might have triggered it. Mentally, I am so ready to eat/taste some fruit, but its not real.

Also, pretty much once I did reach day 7(my original goal), I've felt that ok I'm done. As yall all know, I decided to take it to 10 days, but I don't think my mind processed it that well. Cause, you know if you look at a calendar it ain't that bad.. just three more days, but man time has a funny way of passing when your on a fast. And my "you're asking for it self" has been watching juicing videos on youtube. Dumb. So its been a struggle, but hopefully for the best of things. Try to pray more, smile more, and feel my senses come alive.

Its been up and down emotionally, these past 24 hours. I was and am still super happy about all the good things that I have happened. My gums are definitely improved in sensation and color, my teeth are whiter, I've lost 13.2 pounds so far(started at 160.6 and weighed in today at 147.4), clearer thinking, improved SMELL, overall lightness, I could go on and on.

Its just during the late, dark hours that have been getting hard. My eyes are bloodshot for some reason. I'm thinking that might have something to do with it. But overall, when I wake up in the morning its all good. I just can't let those 2-3 hours of discomfort ruin the other 20 something hours of greatness/not that badness. LOL...so thats it.. thanks for all the kind words everyone and to those of you who are still on it... Happy Fasting!
