Well, you're an adult, and I'm sure you know what you're doing. Just take care of yourself, we'll be sticking around for the next 30 days

Woke up energized at 1 am. Still awake. I could have gone for my 12 miler. I started thinking & we all know what happens when we think laying in bed because we can't fall asleep.
No headaches, not dizzy. I had 1 small bowel movement since, what day 3 or 2? Must be from the semen (Ha, Ha), no really I think just the effects from the lemon naturally detoxing the walls of my colon. I thought about breaking my fast with Garden of Life RAW detox to really target the organs. I'll decide later. I'm actually a lot physically healthier than I thought or give myself credit. Not to be snobby about it. I;m actually a humble person despite how this jibber jabber may sound to some. I just haven't given myself any worth & I feel it hasn't been appreciated. I know my purpose here on Earth was totally destroyed, well maybe I'll talk about next time. I need to meditate & hush up the brain. Oh, just for a little Bio on my past health, I've had a basically healthy lifestyle for 13 years now, before that I lived off of Asian food, "junk", Taco Bell, burgers, emotional trauma etc...But just because I didn't know better. Than I proactively educated myself. This isn't the 1st Fast, but it's the 1st 30 day water Fast. The longest I ever went was 5 days when I was in my late 20's. But the purpose of this Fast is for entirely different reasons or I should say, why I started this Fast was due to an entirely different reason. A 2 lb weight lose, hmm, muscle? My muscles are all still there, no flab yet. My husband's loving the boney look. Personally, I like the athlete look that's achieved due to being an outdoors woman. It's fun to be out & active. I don't feel weak, yet. I'm sure I've got enough muscle for my body to go into self cannibalism & live off of water for longer than 30 days. Let's hope it doesn't go that far. I'm sure people have gone longer.
BTW, replacing all three meals with oatmeal is an alternative to your lemon diet. If you get the ones that aren't instant, you won't really gain any weight (loose some even); and it's full of fiber that can sweep your digestive tract clean. At least with this method you wouldn't feel starving.
