Day 8 (Wed) 111 lbs. That was a drop in weight, but not surprised. It said website unavailable & was unable to log Wednesday symptoms, so I ended up having to end the Fast with an apple. The rash was the same, my body temperature dropped significantly & basically was freezing cold. Very dizzy, no strength, not even to practice guitar. I felt as if I had to throw up, my chest hurt. Stomach felt inside out. But thats not what made me decide to eat an apple. I had urinated blood. The icy cold, tender feeling on my lower back may be my kidney's under stress, nothing new for me & probably need to up the water intake from 16 cups/day to maybe 32 cups. And maybe next time 1 lemon/day instead of 2. To break the Fast, I had an apple about an 1 hour after I had a pear, an 1 hour after that about 1 cup of carrots. This is just a natural form of juicing, I don't have a fancy $500 juicer. After all that eating I became sick to my stomach, basically napped all day. Making plans for my next Fast. The last Fast in January was 5 days. (Total permanent weight lose was 5 pds.) I was mental then, but not as bad as this time. That was for holiday weight & not for mental strengthening. This Fast my body was able to endure 8 days. Practice makes perfect. Even though my body was unable to endure this Fast, I'm positive I would have been able to willpower to 30 days. The ultimate would be 60 days. Towards the end of the day I ate another apple & banana. I got a headache afterwards. Body was really cold.
Day 9 (Thur) 111 lbs. Woke up with headache, dizzy, not so cold anymore. No hunger, but I will eat to nourish my body. More fruit, then towards the mid-day I'll drink GOL RAW Meal along with fruit. I'll introduce oatmeal, probably by Friday afternoon. I should gain a good 4-5lbs. My body feels clean of toxins & will continuing eating my health meals to maintain weight, however I will eliminate the high mileage runs. Ill start out walking then increase a mile of running 5 day/week until I reach 5 miles. Next Fast Ill attempt is most likely end of April, so a month. As soon as I reach weight of 105 lbs, Ill have a schedule of 5 day Fast on a quarterly basis. I think 30 day Fast are for people with strong mind power. I would love to achieve that, but for now I'll make do with the physical benefits.
I can't help, but feel a bit of a failure. The brain is a powerful tool. I feel I should have been able to mentally teach my body to withstand the stress it was under (Neuroplasticity). My goal this time was to gain mental strength. This was not achieved. I believe its due to the unresolved feelings I have in my life. Until I can come to terms with these matters I don't see myself reaching 30 days. This journal helped me by just having people listen/comment. Sometimes it helps to have an ear. I also learned for me, without food, it takes my brain 4 days before cracking HA, HA, & be at a mild state of depression, that's not very long if you think about it. It's amazing what lack of food does to the human brain. Not to say start overeating. Hormone levels, glucose level, really just like an automobile.
In a way it figures my first time online journaling I ended up on a site with a majority of community of young adults. I tend to get along better with you anyways. The homemakers I meet are "crazier, HA HA" then I am. I'm not online much or computer savvy, so I think I'll stick to this site for support & logging in on my next Fast or whenever I feel like I need Support Forum. Thanks for being here & making sure I didn't die
