I had originally planned 7-10 days, but..... I am already half way there and despite the symptoms - I feel like that was way too easy. Told ya I'm tough. I don't like things to be easy. So, I guess all time limits are out the window. I want to go until I reach ketosis, but I am not going to be too hard on myself. If I feel like I can't go on by day 14, then that is fine too. It is my first fast of any length, and I am happy I have made it this far (only 3 hours to go until I start day 5) the longest I have gone. I feel good right now. Little discomfort in back, and arthritic arm, and tired, but I feel good. I can smile thru anything. I mean, I have given birth - I can do anything. This is deffinately a piece of cake compared to giving birth, and I smiled during that, so I am smiling now. We are the masters of our own lives, we choose what we want our experiances to be - what we want to take from them. I want my experiances in life to show that I can do anything I set my mind to. That I am not weak. I can rise to, above and beyond any challenge that lay before me...... Sorry, I guess we all get a little spacey during fasts? I do very much appreciate you listening to my rambling. Blessed be. Motherweary
