Day 60! 11 y
Slowly Transiting off the Fast for a couple of weeks...
Today is the 60th day since starting my liquid fast the 1st of Nov :) I’ve come a long way.
The sun is shining and I’m busy this morning, doing loads of laundry, organizing my fundraising kit for sausage sizzles, doing some officework, dealing with bills - it’s very much a monday morning ;)
I’ve lost over 25 - maybe closer to 28lbs since I began and have started eating a little bit again the last few days --
I’m going away in 10 or 11 days - it’s N.Y.E. tommorrow night and I want to be able to have a few drinks and pick at any platters and socialize :)

Gently gently
Day 57 today, 8PM now, woke up very late - body repairing itself after the major workout I did fasted Christmas Day
I felt hunger today, so 6 days into the new liquid fast leg I had a small japanese style lunch of maybe 80g of salmon sliced up as sashimi with 1/2 an avacado in slices and a little pile of pickled ginger (one I found at the chinese grocer without msg - was pickled only in brine, so I sweetened it up using leftover fig jam I had in the fridge and it came out beautifully) - dipped in a little soy/wasabi with a 1/4 of a small cucumber with some sesame seeds sprinkled on it - ... read more 55 - Merry Christmas! 11 y
Solidly back on the liquid fast
Woke up with a big white tongue today - as imagined, day 53 was a bit tough but I stuck it out, day 54 was much easier and here I am Christmas morning, 3 days back on the fast :)
My bf just made me a warm water with 1/2 a lemon to start me off, keep me alkaline - then I’m going to have a weak coffee (I have one or maybe 2 most days of late) and see what Santa brought :)
No one home but us today, we’ve got the place to ourselves - all the flatmates out visiting friends and family - maybe we’ll see some of tonight - not sure really...
we’re going to celebrate with some presents and mus ... read more Day 53 - Back to Liquids 11 y
Feast for the Soul
Day 53 today, I’ve enjoyed a little pitstop of having some food for 5 days - a very little at first, building up to being able to eat a small bowl of brown rice with 1/2 an avacado and 3 falafels last night and that’s it for awhile - Did some great training with my Bullworker (isometric strength trainer) and some intense Yoga the day before yesterday and as prophesized - no lag in recovery time, feeling good - eating for a few days certainly lifted my mood as well and got rid of the irritability and anger that was arising quite a lot in my expression. I’m embarking on another little fasti ... read more Day 50 - A little pause and a little food 11 y
Getting to 50 days for the first time ever!
Today is the 50th day since I began my fast the 1st of Nov.
It’s been a wonderful fast - I kept on liquids only with very little dairy (a splash of milk in tea a couple times a day and the occasional half and half in a coffee or cocoa) with water, a juice or two most days, and shrub cordials...
after 30 days of this, I started having small amounts of kefir as well - and continued this up to 48 days, having a bit of broth a couple of times and bringing the kefir slowly up to about 2 small glasses a day max.
I got to 48 days last week feeling like the weight was not really dropping much ... read more 42 Days and Counting... 11 y
50....60?...beyond???
42 days today and the fast is going very well. This is now the longest fast I’ve completed and it’s not over yet - I’m really happy to get so far this time & I feel so good, and the fast is so easy - I’m heading for the new goal of 50 days atm and we’ll see how I go from there.
Weight Loss on this fast might be not as rapid as I’d like sometimes - I weighed in at 169.7 lbs on day 38, then weighed again on day 40 at 166.6 - so not a big loss for 8 whole fasting days -- it seems to have slowed down to about half or maybe a little better than half of what it was when I started the fast init ... read more 38 Days In 11 y
Period, wobbles, will and bit of broth
Day 38 today - woke up very smiley. It’s mostly been good this fast, there are times it’s been a little back and forth - four or five days will go brilliantly then I have a day or three sometimes where it’s a bit tough and I feel emotions - irritable, angry, cravings etc - mostly no real hunger... find if I get through these days with a bit of strong will they quickly pass and I return to a very good state - this deep in the fast I’m not ’tired’ but I’m finding I have to watch my pace and how much I’m doing. I’ve been a busy girl throughout a lot of this fast & that stacks up and overwhe ... read more 38 Days In 11 y

just when you thought you were alone...
Hi People, I haven’t disappeared although I haven’t been keeping my blog up very often -- it’s been a busy time, and I’m at the end of the 36th day of my fast. Strongest fast ever, haven’t broken it with any meals - kept it up throughout and in this process have continued to learn how to fast successfully, about myself and fasting and the profound good it does me.
I’ve enjoyed incorporating some Kefir this last week and a half - and working with kefir to make cheeses and things I’d never done before - things I’ll eat at a later date... its been a bit of a journey with that wonderful c ... read more 30 Days Big Smile :) 11 y
Feeling Great, Going Great -- Onwards!
Day 30 today, have successfully fasted the month of November now - feel great, inspired, fast is going really well at this point and the whole last week onwards has been really good - feeling fresh and looking over the near horizon towards 40 days :)
Not going to write much tonight as it’s getting late and I’m bushed, having a little bath and heading to bed - I’ve been full of energy the last couple of days and I’ve done a lot of things and now - wow, seems I’ve been active all day today and it’s nearly midnight and well - that’s a wrap.
Just to say yay, got to 30 without breaking and ... read more Day 27 - Going Strong 11 y
Fast A Feast for the Soul
Day 27 today, just on nightfall - end to another good day of the fast - reminding myself now of Jodorowsky’s Quote ”make a fast a feast for the soul” as I go longer and longer, reaping many benefits, dealing with the temptation to break the fast from the long time it’s been without the sensation of eating while at the same time, doing well, knowing there is no need to break the fast and wanting to exercise my will to continue feeling the many rewards... they extend from the clarity of mind, softness of dreams, peace of the fast to the internal clean out, shedding of excess kilos that weigh ... read more Skip Straight to 24 :) 11 y
Day 24 - feeling Great
Missed another blog day yesterday, never got to it, having an awesome time now on the fast - spent yesterday out doing a bit of a job around noon, came home and put in a stint of gardening, re-potting things, planting some new seedlings out & weeding the big mess of a front yard my real estate agents left me when they cut back waaaay too much off the massive pine out front turning a perfect pine needle carpet floor into a mess of weeds and sunlight... slowly, 2 or 3 years on it’s starting to look more like grass - still needs a lot of tlc - down on hands and knees pulling, snipping... can’ ... read more 22 and Counting 11 y
Back in the Saddle
22 days today, feel great again - note to self, don’t ever let 2 or 3 wishy washy days when fasting discourage you -- stick to it and the great feeling and strength will return :)
Don’t want anything anymore, got a bunch of fresh beets with their tops at the market the other day and started with one of them and some of it’s greens in my juice yesterday morning. That caused me to eliminate a few times, lots of watery red slush... no need for that coffee enema - feel good. Been detoxing a fair bit, with the beets, and eliminating the last four days a bit more than before -- stuff must be ... read more 21 Days :) 11 y
Got to Day 21 and Hanging in There!
21 Days today, that’s a stretch! Been having a better couple of days, don’t know - just got a bit too busy for comfort from that Saturday on - it’s easing up now & I was able to do a great morning practice this morning - now have to jet off to a short meeting then that’s it - free for the next few days with nothing much hanging over me, maybe just a little trip to the city to pick up an old bed in a house I look after that the tenant doesn’t need - can do in my own time though, back to some inward reflection to keep me in balance.
Drawn more towards my shrubs at the moment, had a juice ... read more |
