22.5 days and still coasting
Yesterday was a pretty tough day for me because i was forced to drive a distance and conquor several essential errands. By the time i got home it was amazing to be able to lay down, something i intend to do the entire weekend.
I was in several different banks and when i was walking very slowly and weakly i saw my reflection a couple times and saw a feeble, slumping shadow of myself ;). Voice has been weak since about day 6 as the body conserves its energies for maximal cleansing and healing.
Aside from having to tax myself yesterday, i have truly been coasting along on this fast, feeling weak but fine, and today i am right back to that, laying down 23 hours per day.
Feeling more hunger this time then i recall in the last fast. I believe the brisk walking last time around not only slowed the detox, but masked certain symptoms including feelings of hunger, not to mention feelings of weakness.
I really believe my heart is in the process of being healed. It has improved some, but still has a long way to go. The heart rate has gone down about 5 beats per minute since i began to monitor it at around day 5 or so, but that's only 5 out of the needed 20-25.
I don't believe i had high blood pressure at any point, but interestingly that has gone down fairly substantially. I didn't check it before day 11, but...
On day 11 it was 111/77
and
on day 22 it was 95/67.
Eagerly anticipating the day i can eat, but patiently awaiting a healed heart and the return of genuine hunger first.
