Day 13 of Water Fast 13 y
My daily Journey to a healthier life style
January 16, 2010
Another topsy-turvy night for me, but I made it through Day 12 and onto Day 13. I didn’t end up going to church as I was feeling so up and down, that I didn’t think that it would be good for me, since I didn’t know how long my “good” feelings were going to last. If I did anything at all, I wandered around the house, looking for books that I couldn’t focus enough to read. I did find that magazines were good and helped me.
I had a lot of nausea and a bit of mucus. I found myself gagging a bit, but I didn’t vomit like I did during my last fast.
Spent most of my d ... read more Day 12 of Water Fast 13 y

I made it Day 12! I can’t say that I feel my best. My night was very restless and not relaxed. I ached all over. I didn’t get much sleep until very early in the morning. I wasn’t able to focus enough to read a book, but enough watch/listen to a movie.
I slept most of the day off and on. I have to say that most of Day 12 was spent sleeping and listening to a movie while curled up under 4 blankets, one affectionate cat trying to sleep against my cheek and Lammy sleeping at my feet.
It was pretty uneventful, as I was pushing myself to get past Day 12. Mostly just n ... read more Day 11 of Water Fast (2nd Bi-daily post – Second half) 13 y

I did venture out in town after work, more then I thought I would be able to, but I must have been having a “good” patch of space in time during this detox. I ended up picking two new movies, and renting 5 others, as I had a feeling that I wasn’t going to be able do much over the week. I didn’t get home until after 7:00 p.m., which was very surprising for me that I lasted that long. But the time, I got into my car, I was so nauseous, that I had to sip on my water and rest for 20 minutes before driving home.
I was right. I didn’t do much but hole up in my bedroom, s ... read more Day 11 of Water Fast (1st bi-daily post - First half) 13 y

I made it to Day 11. It is a big step compared to the last Water fast I was on. How I feel is kind of topsy-turvy, as sometimes I feel fine and energetic, and a half an hour later, I feel beat down and I want to lay down. So it is a work in progress, but I AM going to do it! I realized that if I survive the weekend plus Martin Luther King Day (since I have it off), that I will be on Day 15 on January 18, 2011. I can survive the weekend. I WILL do it!
I didn’t want to get out of bed when it turned 8:00 a.m. this morning, as I was up all night (from 11:30 on). I might ... read more Day 10 of Water Fast 13 y

Wow, I made it to Day 10 of my water fast, and I don’t feel bad at all. That is a AMAZING. I guess eating well for 35 days before my water fast (plus 2 other water fasts) really has help me. I am probably less toxic then I was when I first started my water fast on October 30, 2010. I kind of wish I would have taken a before picture of myself when I was 155 pounds, so I could compare myself to what I look like now. It really is amazing and every invigorating. Wow! 30 pounds ago, I was miserable, and lethargic. Now, I am very alert and energetic (unless the water fast c ... read more Day 9 of Water Fast 13 y

Ha ha ha! I dreampt that I was eating food!
I had the weirdest dream early in the morning. I drempt that I was with some of my friends in a cateria, and we were all eating. I think I ate a salad. After eating it I thought “What have I done! I was fasting and now I ruined it.” I realized I must have been hungry for me to just forget about the fast. It was funny that all there was food in solt like machines, where you punched in what you wanted from the menu,and minutes later, you ... read more Day 8 of Water Fast 13 y

I am doing great so far for Day 8 of my Water fast. Woo Hoo for me! Last night was okay as I was feeling “odd”, which is probably detoxification symptoms, so I feel restless. Upon waking up fully, I slowing drank 16 ounces of water that I had kept at my bedside. It was lovely.
My morning was fair normally: getting dressed (with extra layers) brushing teeth and tongue along with mouth wash, filling up my 32 ounce water bottle, feeding my cats, making my bed, warming up my car. Pretty normal
While in the car on the way to work, I had another God moment. If anythin ... read more Day 7 of Water Fast 13 y

Success covers a multitude of blunders. ~George Bernard Shaw
Yay! Day 7. I am doing well on it. I am kind of wondering when I will start feeling the sensation of detoxification and how bad it will be. I started the morning off right and drank 16 ounces of water (the left over water that I didn’t finish drinking last night). It tasted really good.
I had another interesting morning with the Lord. It seems that He is talking to me in various ways. As I was driving to work, a song was playing that really seemed to speak to me. It was Tenth Avenue North’s song, “You ... read more Day 6 of Water Fast 13 y

Success is failure turned inside out. ~ Unknown
I found being on Day 6 to be easy. I wonder if it is a bit easier since I have been drinking water with a little bit of lemon it in. I will have to see in my previous blog posts to see if I was struggling with nausea and the such on Day 6. I know that I am only 4 days away from Day 10, which in the past I had to stop. I know that Day 10-12 has been the hardest for me to handle due to very strong detoxification symptoms. I really believe that the healthy eating has really helped my body some.

I made it to Day 5, even though I woke up aching due to my monthly cycle. I didn’t get out of bed until after 11:00 a.m. I liked being nice and warm in my bed. LOL
I did put plastic on my window in my bedroom, with the hopes of stopping the draft, but, I am feeling a draft from from somewhere and I know it isn’t from the window. It might be coming from the crack in the door, since I haven’t closed it. I leave the door just open enough to allow Lammy to come in the room, if she wants to sleep with ... read more Day 4 of Water Fast- I MADE it! I made IT! WoooHooo!

I made it to Day 4. Actually Day 3/Day 4, since Day 4 won’t official start until after 6:00 p.m. BUT still I am official on Day 4, any way you look at it.
I was a little bit bad (NO, I didn’t eat anything!). I looked at a couple health recipes, especially ones that would help me get over my cheese addiction. LOL as well as other healthy alternatives of typical bad food that I enjoyed so much in the past.
Here is a lovely juice recipe I found:
Vegetable 8
1/2 Tomato
1/4 Cucumber
1 Carrot
1 Celery stalk
1 Handful Spinach
1/2 Red Pepper
1/2 Cup Cabbage

I know that trying to overcoming the urge to eat can be hard, especially when it is so easy to walk into the kitchen and grab something. I thought I would make a list of things that I do or have done in order to get over the “I want to eat, I HAVE to eat” urge during the crucial three day time when starting a Water fast.
I do realize that not all of these actions or ideas can work for everyone, since people have young children to care for and other family members that around while they are trying to do a water fast.
First thing I really try to do before my “start” ... read more Day 3 of Water Fast- Yes! Yes! I made it! 13 y

I had a interesting morning. I woke up (around 6:00 a.m, when my alarm doesn’t go off until 6:30 a.m.)after a long peaceful sleep. I wondered with my Lammy was, as she usually sleeps with me. I called her and she came crawling down for a pile of blankets just off of my bed. I guess she got sick of me moving my feet in the night. LOL. Canna used to sleep at my feet too, but as far as he could so I couldn’t kick him be accident. I guess she is learning that as well.
I realized that I hadn’t drank my other 32 ounces of water when I got up. It was still sitting at my be ... read more Day 2 of Water Fast- Going strong so far! 13 y

I was really tired this morning (January 5, 2011), as Phil woke me up several times per text messaging. I seemed to get more sleep when he was living with me, then I do now at the moment. My mother says that it is because he is on his own again, and wants to his own needs met by something. She is probably right. If he texted anyone else, the probably would tell him to “*uck off” like one of them did just before Christmas. Yes, I heard about that one by one early morning text when he got it. I guess I don’t mind too much about his texting, as I don’t sleep well, myself ... read more Day 3 of Water Fast – Another failure (late in the day)!

My evening the night before was great and I keep myself busy. I was reading and watching TV. There isn’t much that I have been doing, since it has been so cold out. I have been trying to conserve heat, but camping out in my bedroom, and using the heater in there. I have tried to stay in the living room, but it is drafty and cold. I don’t really want to be running two heaters, as much as it costs for me financially. I can’t afford to go out and buy plastic for my windows, which I should have been able to do if Phil helped a bit with the other bills. I really need t ... read more Day 2 of Water Fast – So far so Good! 13 y

Today was okay. I felt better then I did the night before and got more sleep then I was able to get the night before. I feel really silly that I had that attack, since I haven’t had one in three years. My mother believes that it was the red meat eating, the cheese eating and the bit of wine that I had which triggered it. The one lesson I really learned was that I really need to do another gall bladder/liver flush as well. But I am going forward with my Water fast and then re-feeding which I will add a lot of fresh apple juice (by using my juicer) or in a tight spot suc ... read more Day 1 of Water Fast 13 y

Gosh, I feel so much better then I did yesterday. After a couple hours of sleep and sipping on water, I feel so much better! I feel so silly about having an gallbladder attack. I guess I didn’t focus as much on a gallbladder flush as I did at the beginning of the month of December. I should have done a least another one. The drinking of grapefruit juice with Epsom salts did allow me to pass some gall stones, but they weren’t very big. I had a couple of them which were about the size of lentils, even a couple the size of a diameter of a pencil eraser. I think I am seri ... read more |
