Maybe you'll take such pictures? It would be very interesting to see. About the weakness--remember that in the supervised fast you were instructed to stay in bed. So naturally anything more was taking energy away from the real work at hand. I think the bloody saliva may be just a temporary thing with the gums. Pretty sure I noticed a bit of this around three weeks water in. It goes, later.
take care,
one day at a time.
Hi there Chiron :),
Maybe i will take such pictures indeed :). Good reminder about the weakness. The way i see it, my only job at this moment is to fast and I really don't expect anything additional of myself during this time and am happy to lay around most days for 23 hours. The bloody saliva issue seems to be resolving itself. For about 4 days there was about a tablespoon of estimated blood mixed with my saliva in the morning, then over the past 3 days it has worked its way down to perhaps 1/6 that. Interestingly enough, the same thing happened in my previous fast 2-3 months back, both times a temporary issue and both times somewhere in the 20's.
One day at a time is right and with each passing day a new goal is reached and the end of the fast is that much closer :).
