Day 26 of My 60 Day Water Fast 9 y
Results Thursday!
Today, I’m thirsty for water. So I’ve been drinking as much as I want. Reminds me of when I first started. I’m really bored of being on this fast. I can’t wait for it to be over. Oh it’s weigh in day.
Today 176 lbs
July 11 186 lbs
July 4. 188 lbs
May 28. 197.6 lbs
Start. 212 lbs
So 36lbs- 40lbs to go. Really I’m going to stop when my waist reaches the measurement I have in my head, whatever weight that is. I just want to get rid of the belly fat.
I’ve been sleeping fine. I’m tired though. I can’t wait for my day off. This Saturday I have the long hard shift ... read more Day 25 of My 60 Day Water Fast 9 y
Salt Water or Pickle Juice
Where did I come up with 60 days? In the past I always pined over 40 days. Today I feel strong again. No hunger whatsoever. No tearing raw pain wrenching my stomach to my mouth like yesterday. Yesterday I couldn’t take that pain. On my way home from work I started thinking about other comments and material from the internet talking about salt water. I can’t drink salt water. The thought makes me want to vomit. So I thought about pickle juice for some reason and I stopped and bought a jar of the zesty kind and came home poured a quarter cup in a champagne glass and sipped it.

Wake Me When It's Over
I think I had it too easy there for awhile. It seems so hard lately. Before it was really only hard on the days I was off, but now even at work I feel the pain of being on a water fast.
Water tastes sickening. It’s not helping. I noticed awhile back that I don’t drink much water at all. I’m not really ever thirsty. Just in general I was never one to drink much fluid. Yuck I hate the water!!! I wish I could sleep until it was over. Is it supposed to get harder? Depending on how much weight I lose by the 40th day, I might switch to a mix of juice and water for the last 20 days. I’m worri ... read more Day 23 of My 60 Day Water Fast 9 y
Just Do It
It’s a weird thing not to eat for so long. Today I was looking at my body and started thinking at this rate I might not be able to do the whole 60 days. I was starting to convince myself 40 days will suffice, but I think that’s me just be scared and overthinking it. I need to stay in the present, stick with the plan, and when the time comes I’ll know. I don’t need to replan my plan. All the contemplation and research to get to this decision has been made. Now it’s just DO.
The taste of nothing in my mouth bothers me. Oh last night I slept and slept and went back to sleep, so that I actu ... read more Day 22 of My 60 Day Water Fast 9 y
8 hours of Slumber!!!
I finally slept 8 hours!!! A friend suggested I take tryptophan. I used to take it to stop night time cravings. It’s easy to take in a capsule, but for some reason I bought loose powder and it tastes and smells like rotten eggs, but I finally took it last night and it worked. I could feel the sleep coming on, which was around 8 pm and I slept until 2am, and FELL BACK asleep until 4 ish o’clock!
When I woke up I peed a lot. I looked a lot slimmer than last night, but I’m also menstruating, so that is probably contributing to being less bloated. Also,I think the fact that I didn’t work th ... read more Day 21 of 60 Day Water Fast 9 y
One-Third of the way where
Whatever I just wrote got lost. I didn’t sleep last night. I’m hungrier than normal. I have lost a lot of weight but I am 45 lbs overweight right now and it’s depressing, why am I hungry today? Oh I think because it’s my day off and I have nothing to do. I definitely prefer being busy. I just want to SLEEP!!!!! visit the page Day 20 of 60 day Water Fast 9 y
Reaching A Milestone
Last night was the closest I’ve been to breaking my fast. I was having a day of cravings because at work they had pork pot roast cooking in a crock pot all day. Pork is one of my favorite things and anything in a crock pot!
Since about day 12 of the fast, all I crave is eating vegetables and fruits, especially salads! I can’t wait to have a gourmet salad sprinkled with nuts or a shredded homemade cabbage salad. I can’t wait to eat those things and drink some homemade watermelon juice or a little pea purée. Oh and cherries and grapes! They are my favorites... But thankfully I stuck it ou ... read more Day 19 of 60 Day Water Fast 9 y
Results Thursdays!
Well, today is the day to weigh-in. I’ve been debating whether or not to weigh myself because this week I get my period and in the past I never see the scale move down on the week before my period starts. And I definitely feel bloated right now. Regardless, I decided to toughen up and not be discouraged so drums please...,
Today = 186 lbs
June 4 = 188 lbs
May 27 = 197.6 lbs
Start = 212 lbs
Even though I didn’t see a huge loss I can see my shape changed, but like I mentioned in an earlier post, I have a long way to go.
I also think I did too many strenuous activities last we ... read more Day 18 of My 60 Day Water Fast 9 y
Stick Out Your Tongue and Say Ahhhhhh!
It’s official I just woke up and had this weird normal feeling in my mouth. I brushed my hair, slathered green clay mask on my face, stuck out my tongue AND!!!! It’s PINK! Pink and soft smooth looking. No long papillae, no tinge of white anywhere and I didn’t have to brush or scrape it and suck on cinnamon altoids to get it red. I have had a white tongue since 2005. But today for the first time it looks healthy and pink and kissable.
I can tell I’m shrinking, but I still feel huge, but definitely lighter. My hips are still big. I’m losing weight like how the shape I was when I was teens ... read more Day 17 of My 60 Day Water Fast 9 y
Dear God, Please Let My Period Come Now!
First off I have to say that I’m an emotional wreck today. One minute I’m laughing the next I can’t stop crying. I can’t handle this ride in Doomsday Park!
Ok, breathe
Today after brushing my teeth and tongue, my tongue was PINK!!! I noticed when I cry my mouth salivates. Lately, I was just holding water in my mouth trying to get relief. I’ve switched to tap water. Definitely my tongue is better than before the fast, but not all the way healthy.
Sleep is bad. Three hours a night. But energy level is really good. I’m breaking out a little on my face. Oh! My hair on my eyebrows have ... read more Day 16 of 60 Day Water Fast 9 y
Just Bored
I haven’t been getting as much sleep as I’d like and I’ve never been one to take naps- I just can’t nap no matter how tired I am, but today is also my day off. I’ve got so much done. I’m really proud of myself. He organized and packed up and at the same time I reorganized the house, since it’s just me. Almost all his stuff is packed by the front door, so it should be fast!
I’ve had a nagging persistent dry cough for a week now. I usually only cough in the morning and night, but today I had a coughing fit and something big was trying to come up but I don’t know how to spit it out and I s ... read more Day 15 of 60 Day Water Fast 9 y
A Quarter of the Way There!
I think I over did it today. I was busy organizing the house and doing yard work. It’s so hot here and I sweat and drank water non-stop. I felt funny, l don’t know how to describe it, but like I drank too much water and water wasn’t quenching my thirst. Right now, I’m pooped and sore. Speaking of poop, I had a bowel movement on my own. It looked like honey mustard. Ok ... I’m done for today. visit the page Day 14 of 60 Day Water Fast 9 y
More energy and still plugging away
Ok, this is going to be a short one, because Saturday’s I work a very labor intensive 10 hour shift and today I actually went from work to my volunteer assignment and I am absolutely tired.
Good energy today. This Saturday is the most energy I’ve had since I started working there last month. But I’m sore!! I’m going to try to sleep right after I finish this.
The weather was so hot and I drank the most water I have drank on this fast- probably 3/4 of a gallon! I drank so much I got a side ache, but I was thirsty and sweating a lot. My pee is still like the color of Tang-ish. I didn’ ... read more Day 13 of My 60 Day Water Fast 9 y
To Cheat or Not To Cheat
Day 13, I woke up panicking. I thought I had broke my fast. I had accidentally taste tested a recipe, rationalized that I just cheat and begin to eat a small portion. Then I realized I’m still in bed and it was a dream- or nightmare!
I felt more energy today, because I got more sleep. Sleep is critical for me to be able to work. At lunch time I felt a slight tinge of hunger. It only lasted 15 minutes or less. I heard that when it’s time to break a fast you will feel ”true hunger.” I don’t quite know what that means. Maybe it’s when the hunger pains remain all day long... I guess I’ll fi ... read more Day 12 of 60 Day Water Fast 9 y
Results are in Thursdays
Late last night I had the first real cravings. They weren’t intense. They were similar to how I felt on day 4 and 5. The night of day 5 I actually dreamt of eating the most fantastic foods. I woke up and told myself, ”see, you ate at night, so now you can fast in the day.”
Well Thursday is my weekly weigh-in and since I started this blog on day 10 I figured I’d put here the results since I started.
After suddenly and unexpectedly ending a 14 year relationship the night of the 20th, I decided to fast to get out of my body’s way and do it how my body is made to do... I had ate on the 20 ... read more Day 11 of 60 Day Water Fast 9 y
My experience during this journey
Today is the 11th day and I feel better than yesterday. Last night, I bought a dry brush and changed out my soap and shampoo to detox friendly ones with natural ingredients. They have things like clay, Rosemary, and nettle in them. It finally dawned on me I was detoxing and washing my body with chemicals!
Last night I got more sleep than I have been these last couple days, so I didn’t struggle through work, but I really just want to go home and lie down. My tongue is so yellow and white! It looks like it’s caked on, but when I use my tongue cleaner nothing scraped off. I’ve used that to ... read more Day 10 of 60 day water fast 9 y
Day 10 experience of 60 day water fast.
Yesterday, I felt like I needed to poop. I felt that way a couple days in and wasn’t able to do it on my own, so I had a colonic. I expected to see waste come out, very little did- more like sludge, not solid, but I felt much better.
So today, I decided to have a colonic and I was shocked to see how much came out and it was like big solid balls coming out. Towards the end it was loose kinds. It felt so good to get it out! Oh and the hemorrhoid I had has shrunk considerably.
Some days are so easy, like day 7 when I mowed the lawn and went for a 2 hour moderate hike. Even the next da ... read more |
