Day 16 of Water Fast/Day 2 of Juice Fast 13 y
My daily Journey to a healthier life style
March 24, 2011
I find myself almost feeling lost and spinning out of control regarding where I am emotionally. Physically, I feel like crap, unless I drink some juice, but the achy-ness really hasn’t went way. I do have more energy that what I did have.
I made some celery/carrot juice for the morning and made sure that I had some for the day at the office.
The smell of veggies was very tempting, as I really wanted to take a bite out of the carrots that I was preparing for the juicer. I miss eating carrots. LOL
I was talking to God before I left the house. I was being very open ... read more Day 15 of Water Fast/ Day 1 of Juice Fast 13 y

I had a horrible night, that I had to start juicing, if I wanted to continue on this water fast. Around 8:30 p.m. yesterday, I finally drank a bit more cranberry juice (approximately 5 ounces) as I was feeling really horrible. It tasted really tart and after a little while I was feeling a bit better, but not much. I was restless as the achy-ness was horrible. I was able to rest a bit and listen to TV for a while. I caught some sleep, but it was mostly broken up, as I couldn’t get comfortable. I still felt like I was dying.
Finally around 2:00 a.m, I got out of bed an ... read more Day 14 of Water Fast 13 y

It is hard to keep any routine right now, other then taking a shower and brushing my teeth constantly. Anything other then feeding my cats, I just don’t have the energy to do or feel “good” enough in my body to try and accomplish.
I am really struggling with this water fast right now. I feel like death warmed over all the time. I am planning on buying some veggies to juice or even boil (to make into broth) so that way I can still continue on the fast. I have sipped a little bit of cranberry juice to slow down the detoxification but it doesn’t seem to help much, as I ... read more Day 13 of Water Fast 13 y

I made it to Day 13, but I am not feeling really hot. I think I will have to switch to juicing a couple days and then back to water, so I can continue this. Part of me doesn’t want to continue anything. I know that talking negative is not going to help, but it is how I feel at the moment.
I don’t know how I got out of bed, got dressed and even went to work, as my brain wasn’t where it should have been. My mind was on Phil and what he said. And that he was talking to someone else now. The torture!
I barely drank any water all day, which probably didn’t help me one ... read more Day 12 of Water Fast 13 y

I didn’t feel good at all, as I smelled and I had that “odd” feeling once again in my body that I didn’t like.
I was very nervous to the point of crying, because I knew that Phil was going to be calling me. I went over to my best friend’s house, because I had a feeling that I was going to be a mess afterwards and I needed some moral support. I had a feeling that Phil wasn’t going to say anything nice or something that would hurt me. I should have known. We talked for a bit and then he went into how random people (that are not my friends as he told me) have been tell ... read more Day 11 of Water Fast 13 y

Feeling pretty rough off and on. Sleep isn’t as relaxing as it was 11 days ago, even with Mekong sleeping with me. I sleep off and all most of the day, as my energy was low because I was feel so “off”. I haven’t had the nausea as much as I did the last fast, but I still have the “off/achy” feeling in my body. I have also noticed that I don’t have the tons of mucus draining from my sinuses either. I guess that is proof that I have been taking care of myself much better then I was months ago.
Most of my day (10:30 a.m until about 5:00 p.m.) I laid around, watching a bi ... read more Day 10 of Water Fast - 2nd Bi-daily post -Second half 13 y

I thought I would list my measurements since it has been 10 days since I took my last one on March 9, 2011
Here they are:
At the navel: 31 inches
Narrowest at the waist: 29 inches
Widest at the hips: 34 inches
My neck: 13 inches
The Navy body fat formula says that I have a fat percentage of 24.42%
The YMCA formula says that I have a fat percentage of 35.04.%
My Body Mass Index (BMI) is 22.7
I don’t think that is really bad. What I do find weird is that the YMCA calculation is higher then it was back on March 2, 2011. Go figure. Maybe I wrote it dow ... read more Day 10 of Water Fast -1st Bi-daily post - First half 13 y

I didn’t feel that horrible such as aches, but I have to say that I didn’t sleep that great, as I couldn’t get comfortable. I push Mekong off me a couple times and she finally went somewhere outside my bedroom. It was funny because as I was really trying to settle down and get some non restless sleep, she came back and laid on me. I have to say that I was kind of happy because I missed her. LOL While I laid in bed, I thought I would take my heart rate since I was at a resting state. I took it and it was at 13 beats at 10 seconds, which means that my heart was beating 78 ... read more Day 9 of Water Fast 13 y

Happy St. Patrick’s Day. My wee bit of Irish in me is mourning as I will not be partaking in Corn Beef, Cabbage and Potatoes with lovely day. No Guinness for me. POOOH!
Of course, I laid in bed, until I HAD to get out. I smelled nasty and feel nasty. I drank a bit of water (approximately 7 ounces), which helped me a little bit. I felt a little bit like a zombie, as I didn’t want to go to work. I wanted to get some more sleep. I did put my St. Patrick Day socks on! ( little fun socks with shamrocks and a pot of gold on them. My mother sent them to me two years ago . S ... read more Day 8 of Water Fast 13 y

It is a lovely day.
Today, as I was driving to work, KLOVE was talking about how today is John 3:16 day. I was surprised because I have never heard of it before, but still it was inspiring and lovely to focus on that piece of scripture today.
I laid in bed too long in the morning, as I was feeling really achy, and the acetone smell was outrageous that I couldn’t hand it. I got up early (around 6:00) to brush my teeth, scrap my tongue and use a bit of mouth wash. After that I got back into bed and tried to sleep some more. I have to say the hardest thing is the wei ... read more Day 7 of Water Fast 13 y

Ides of March! Ides of March! The best part of March: the Ides of March. As you might be able to tell, I am Shakespeare fan. I love his works. One of my favorite ones is Julius Caesar. I must try reading it again. It has been years since I read it.
I woke up okay, feeling very alert and a little thirsty. I drank a little water, but not much, as I just haven’t been very thirsty. My mouth tasted nasty, though. It was a lovely thing to brush my teeth and use a bit of mouth wash. It isn’t much different then most mornings, but I guess I enjoyed using it because the sme ... read more Day 6 of Water Fast 13 y

Ooooh, I didn’t sleep well last night at all. I have a crink in my neck, and it never helps when you have a cat that likes to drape herself over it like a scarf. LOL. She is truly a lovely cat, but at times she can be really trying because she wants to close to my face. I created my own monster, because when she was a kitten, I kissed on her and held her close. So now, she loves to be close to my face and wants to be held/or lay on me. LOL Plus it is her breed that is affectionate and loyal to me. It is funny that she will be 8 years old this year, yet she still acts l ... read more Day 5 of Water Fast 13 y

I woke up late again and I missed Church service, which I was really kind of looking forward to going to. I think that my body is just feeling a bit tired and run down. I have to say that I don’t feel too horrible, but I can definitely feel a “tired” feeling, as my body is using fat to supply my energy supply. It get spurts of energy and then I wind down really quickly once that spurt of energy is gone. It isn’t fun.
My urine is a bit frothy now, and I am well within the moderate level of ketones, when I urinate on a strip. It hasn’t made me nauseous at all yet. My s ... read more Day 4 of Water Fast 13 y

I got up really late. Mekong really took at advantage of it being a sleeping in day. Usually on a weekend, I am up around 10:30 at the latest unless I am not feeling good or I am up really late. I wasn’t up really late, but since I went over to Christy’s for a while, it was later then my body really like since I have been water fasting. I woke up around 9:30 a.m, went to the bathroom, looked out my window, got myself a bottle of water (16 ounces) and got back into bed. I drank a little bit of water, and went back to sleep. LOL I can’t say that I was really tired and e ... read more Day 3 of Water Fast 13 y

Since I woke up several times in the night (once at midnight and once at 6:00 a.m.) I had a hard time getting up out of bed. I laid in bed until 10 minutes after 8:00 p.m. which is cutting it close to having enough time to really get ready like I usually do: making bed, washing face, brushing teeth, weighed myself, doing hair, getting dressed, putting jewelry on gathering my books together, feeding my cats their morning treat, and warming up my car. I was able to do it within a reasonable amount of time, as it takes a 15 minute drive to work. And I have to be there at ... read more Day 2 of Water Fast 13 y

When I woke up the morning was okay. I was cold, that was one thing that noticed right off, even thought I had 3 blankets on my bed. I felt well rested and thirsty. I drank 7 ounces of water right off the bat. I then relaxed a bit and drew out my Lenten devotional sheet that was beside my bed. I put it there last night so I could have it near. I wanted to focus on God first thing in the morning.
Lenten focus for March 10, 2011:
Teach us to be brave
Read: Matthew 17:6-7
Prayer focus: Pray for amazing things from God to happen in our lives and in our families ... read more Day 1 of Water Fast- Ash Wednesday! 13 y

The Lenten Season starts. Am I ready? I am trying to be. I almost feel giddy, as this is my time with the Lord and my time to re-learn all the things I have forgotten that I love about Him. I hope I am strong and capable of doing this for until Easter. If I get through it, it will be, because God has helped me and He has strengthen me so that I might do so.
My measurements the first day of my long water fast are:
At the navel: 31 inches
Narrowest at the waist: 30 inches
Widest at the hips: 34.50 inches
My neck: 13 inches
My weight is 130 pounds. I think I ... read more |
