All done!


I'm off. I already feel the energy returning.

Thursday: Day 8 Juice Fast

Am I done? Should I stop? Or should I continue for a day more. I'll need to go to the store. Therein lies the problem. Driving. I don't think it would be particularly wise to drive. I could probably drive to the Randalls around the corner. But I'm sure they don't have organic melons. That's what I'm going to start back with.

Again today, getting up was really hard. My heart rate goes up and it gets hard to breath. But then it eventually levels out and I feel fine.

I've been thinking a lot about broccoli.

Wednesday: Day 7 Water Fast

God, waking up is a bitch. Getting out of bed, getting dressed, don't bother making the bed. Tiring. It's too early to tell how this day will go.

Oh, the NP doctor called me last night. Pretty cool huh? A doctor calling you at home. We talked for a while. She said I sounded really good. She was very supportive. At least now, I know there is someone out there to go to if need be.

My cat doesn't like his food anymore. He meows pathetically all day.

I am so ready to be done with this fast. Tomorrow is my last day.

Later on in the day:

The day turned out okay. I worked till 4:00 or so. Not really feeling as great as usual. drank a little water spiked with juice.
Looking forward to bed.

Tuesday: Day 6 Water Fast

Today, Day 6 was very hard at first. I was tired and very crabby on waking up. I felt weak and depressed. I wanted to quit the fast.
I drank a small glass of black cherry juice. I had planned on drinking more but ended up feeling better as the day went on. The rest of the day turned out pretty good. I worked and went shopping. My tongue is showing signs that my body is detoxing. This is good.
My lower back is tender. This is another sign of detoxification. I don't want to quit. I want to give my body a chance to balance out.

I'm very happy with the way things are progressing. I finally found a NP doctor who can monitor my progress. This would allow me to relax a bit more.

I read a very nice article about fasting.
