Broke the Fast 17 y
Day 9
Today around 3 I broke my fast. I’ve been hungry all day for the past two days, and was getting very lightheaded today at work. So I had a boca burger, and later a few strips of baked potato. I think my body just needs a break with all the stress I’ve been under, plus a lack of sleep the past few days. I’m hopping back onto the bandwagon tomorrow, and will keep going until I fly to home. I haven’t decided yet if when I get back I’ll continue fasting, or just do a modified fast (1.5 small meals a day, the rest juice). I’m going to have to listen to what my body tells me, can’t be passing ou ... read more Day 9 17 y
Day 9
The person in my family who has been ill passed away last night. That means I’ll be flying home sometime this week, at the latest this weekend. I think I’ll bring my fast to a close then, or maybe continue on a modified fast. Although this fast has gotten so much easier, the first few days were very rough, and I can’t afford to repeat them again. I don’t know how I would continue my fast at my parents, I can’t bring my juicer with me, and I’m sure my family would insist on feeding me. I really don’t think I’ll be able to bring myself to rock the boat too much with all that’s going on, but ... read more Day 8 17 y
Day 8
It’s the end of day 8. I’m sitting around drinking my lax tea. Just tomorrow, and then I’ll be on my mini goal. I can’t wait for tomorrow to be over. I have two tests, then I’ll need to go shopping for fruit, then off to work. I try to get in an hour of rest in the afternoon to supplement my 6 hours of sleep, and tomorrow won’t be one of those days. Well, maybe I can get some down time.
Not too much happened today, different day same stuff. I tried to drink the SWF drink, and I could only get down a cup. It was AWFUL. Like drinking sea water. Very warm sea water. I’ll just stick with th ... read more Day 8 17 y
Day 8
I’m very very happy curezone is back up.
As the title says, I’m on Day 8. Nothing too eventful as far as the fast goes. I may have to cut my fast early, not sure yet. Someone in my family is very ill, and on life support. Its unclear whether or not she’ll be taken off of it anytime soon, or exactly how long she’ll live. Its not very long though, all of her organs are failing, and I’ll be flying home to be with my family for the funeral. I was a mess about it a few nights ago, but now I feel much calmer. Mostly I am trying to plan things so that I can be there as much as I can for my fam ... read more Day 4/5 17 y
Day 4/5
I’m officially twenty whole minutes into day 5! By the end of tonight I’ll be 1/6 of the way through. =) That means I only have to repeat what I’ve already done five more times. That makes the numbers seem so much smaller than just 30 - 5. Sometimes things have dragged, like when I’ve bee cooking tater tots or grilled cheese (and I like those foods, but I wouldn’t normally be practically drooling over them). I find when these things happen and all I can think about is taking one little bite, its best to give myself a mental slap in the face, and tell myself to have some gumption! No one is ... read more Day 4 17 y
day 4
I’m at work now, and I’m bored out of my skull. There’s only three kids here, and the weekends is their down time, so I can’t even get them all riled up and wrestle and play like I usually do. Everyone is very very quiet, and I’m just not sure what to do. I’ve been on the computer most of the day, investigating a few kitchen appliances I’d like to get. I really shouldn’t get any more, I have more than enough and not too much space. I think I’ll get rid of my crockpot that is huge, and replace it with a really nice rice steamer. I’m gonna go all top of the line, since I have a tendency to b ... read more Day 3/4 17 y
Day 3 and 4
I made it through day 3! That was my first mini goal, and its definetely getting easier. The first day was the toughest, and last night was pretty rough too.
Day 3 was for teh most part, uneventful. I got home, took a really long nap (I’ve been doing that lately, yay for juice), and when I got up I hung around, then made my juices and all that. I decided I should have some vegetable juice, if nothing else because I didn’t have enough fruits for last night and today. So I made myself some vegetable juice, which I just don’t like, and tried to force it down. It was sooo gross. I am just n ... read more Day 2/3 17 y
Day 2 and 3
I didn’t get to post yesterday. Just having one computer at home makes life difficult. All in all it was a good day. I was still kinda tired, but not too bad. I still haven’t really felt that much in the way of hunger. I’ll feel it for a minutes, then it goes away. Maybe that’s because I eat so many soups and stews anyways? My body is kinda used to the liquid thing now? Doing good confidence wise too, except for a few minutes yesterday when I just thought what am I doing, and I’ll never be able to do this. One day at a time though. =)
Right now my stomach is doing this funny rumbling tu ... read more Day 1 17 y
Day 1 again
It’s day one, at the very end of the day. After I finish writing this, I’m going to bed. Well, back to bed.
Today I had my breakfast juice, some chocolate hazulnut tea (mmmmm it even smells like chocolate), a mug of veggie broth, and water. Then I went off to classes, with my extremely heavy backpack stuffed full of bottles. Speaking of bottles, a bottle of water from the machine costs $1. A whole 24 case of water costs $5. Go figure. I had an MC drink around 10, then some more chocolate hazulnut tea around 11. (Thank goodness for all the microwaves at school.) I had everything with me, ... read more Day 1 17 y
day 1
It’s 7:30, and I’m just about 3 hours into my juice fast. My boy even got up to eat before sunrise, then went back to bed. I was kinda cranky this morning, probably cuz I took a nap yesterday and my body is screaming SLEEP at me. Well, it was, now I’m ok. Kinda got the sleep deprived headache going on, but it will go away. Just think, millions of people around the world are fasting today.
I had my first juice, a little less than 16oz. It was cantalope, apple, plum, and ginger. I’m sure it was good, but I wasn’t paying that much attention to it while I was drinking it. Trying to get a la ... read more My fast starts tomorrow! 17 y
starting tomorrow
So I thought my fast would start Friday, which probably would have been better, but it actually starts tomorrow. Guess I got the first day of Ramadan wrong. Perhaps wishful thinking? I can get away with slacking on the weekends if I need to, but I don’t know about this.
I really haven’t gotten my butt in gear AT ALL about this thing. I was so much more prepared for a three day fast than I am for this one. I was doing a ton of liquids and mostly just one meal for a week. It was easier because it was so hot then, and I didn’t really want to eat, and when I did want to eat it was where are ... read more Less than a week 17 y
more prep
I really haven’t written in here as much as I wanted to for prep. That is ok though, because I really haven’t done that much to prep. I’ve mostly cut out the caffeine, besides a cup or so of tea. I’ve been picking up any herbal teas that look yummy. I tried a MC drink today, and I think I put too much pepper in it because it made my stomach feel funny. So I guess I’ll be jumping into this fast feet first, and see how I do. I’m really good about food except for when I’m at work. Like this weekend where I went to town on a fried egg each morning. Occasionally I have not so healthy food at ho ... read more A week and two days 17 y
More prep
I haven’t been able to give updates the way I’ve wanted to because my computer crashed! I’m taking it to get fixed today, and I’m going to be sooo sad if they don’t fix it. All my music is backed up, but most of my pictures aren’t.
This is going to have to be a quick entry, I need to go off and get some studying/homework done. These last few days have been busy busy, go go. I haven’t done as well with eatting healthy nutritious food the past few days as I’ve wanted to, but I haven’t been eatting much. In the morning I have some tea with honey and soy milk (when its there, it wasn’t ther ... read more Two Weeks left! 17 y
Prep for the prep of my juice fast.
As the title says, I am starting a juice fast in two weeks. I want to use this blog in those two weeks to write about what I do to prepare, and hopefully some feed back! I hope to fast for 30 days, from the night of Sept 14 to the night of Oct 14. (If that’s 30 days, I’ll have to check it) I have been very interested in juice fasting, bought a juicer about a year ago and have been incorporating fresh juices into my diet. Cantalope, plum, and apple (equal parts) is my favorite. =) I am not as much of a veggie juice person, but as long as there’s an apple and some ginger in there I do alrigh ... read more |
