my water fast days 1 -4
Hi all again,
It has been a while since I have been on this site but I recognise some names which is cool.
I started a fast on Wednesday 10th March 2010. I work as a teacher so I was at work. I found the day ok until I got home at 3.30 and I became very very cold but solved that quickly by getting into bed with my electric blanket. I felt great after one hour in bed. That night I woke up a couple of times full of energy struggling a bit to get back to sleep. Then horror of horror the organic fruit/veg man turned up with a box of fruit and veg I had ordered (and forgotten about) and it Looked AMAZING and smelt delicious. I actually felt a panic about not eating it which was odd as I can order another box when I finish the fast.
On the Thursday I felt great - little on the high side if that makes any sense. Food was not tempting me at all. In fact I made a big pot of veg soup which I gave to my 2 year old and put the rest in the freezer - I didn't touch a bit. Happy days. It looked good though. Weird dreams this night and mad pain in my knee - detoxing aint always fun.
On Friday I felt tired and work was ok as long as I kept myself busy. When I got home I had pain in my lower back and found it difficult to entertain my two year old. AHHHHHHHHHH the joys. My tongue has a slight white coating on it - nothing major to report as I was eating very well before starting this fast. My friend arrived and she told me that she was motivated by me and had started day one herself which was great as that re-motivated me. We did some yoga and I could finally (trying for weeks) put my legs right over my head and touch the ground - what an achievement. I have definitely lost weight but as to how much I am not sure as I have decided to not weigh myself but go by my clothes sizes. Tops and trousers are hanging on me and clothes that didn't fit me last week look great on me. So I am delighted. Mad dreams again but slept well.
Today is Saturday and day 4. My lower back is sooooooooooo sore a constant pain. I am in bed at the moment but I did do some basic yoga this morning at 8. Feeling rough but determined to keep going as to how long I have no idea.
I have fasted before - 3 days, 5 days and one 7 day fast. I would love to do 10 days but I will see. xx
