Days 7, 8, 9 and How I'm doing 18 y
Stats and how I'm doing
Hey All! *waving
Day 7, my last day on my water fast. I seem to be waking up early, with only around 6 hours sleep. I skin brushed. I’m feeling so much better! *clapping* My headaches are only mild in the morning. Actually, I quit a little early; I had juice for dinner and a couple of pieces of fruit later that evening.
Day 8 Skin brushed. I had some wonderful freshly squeezed orange juice for breakfast. Yum! Was busy and productive all day, finally have some lasting energy! Did ok for dinner, felt guilty. So I had a good talk with myself.

A bit more energy
I skin brushed this morning. I’m down 13.4 pounds. I had a bit more energy today, I’m glad because I had a full day. I slept better last night. And this was the first morning that I didn’t have a killer headache in 2 weeks!! I still had a mild headache, but so much better than a killer one. WooHoo!
I took my son to have his first foot detox bath and a QXCI session. It went well and very interesting. I think this will help with a lot of problems that we are having. For an 11 yr old, he’s got a lot of crap going on in his body; unfortunately. It took 3 hours!

Energy still low, low back hurting
I skin brushed this morning. I’m down 11.6 pounds. I slept horrible last night! I don’t know if it’s because of the nap I had taken earlier that day, toxins, or something else.
My energy level is still low. My low back has been hurting a bit.
We’ve decided to take a family vacation next week, so I’ll start on juice about Thursday. Do 3 days of juice, then do fruits and veggies. Then on our trip I’m going to keep it mostly fruits and veggies. This is my test to see how I do. Then I want to go back to fasting a couple days after the trip.

No energy, weak and tired
I skin brushed this morning. I’m down 9.8 pounds.
I was very tired and weak today. We went looking for a car, then I can home and took an hour nap. I felt better after the nap, but was still weak.
It was even harder today to not eat. This evening I took 1 bite of an apple and chewed it until liquid.
I’m not so itchy ’down there’, but now there is an ’odor’, almost like amonia or something. Weird.
Hopefully I’ll have a bit more energy tomorrow, I have to work all day and do some errands.
Maybe it won’t be so much of a struggle tomorrow, but I doubt it!!

Better than I thought it would be
The energy lasted for 4-5 hours! WOOHOO! I cleaned my bathroom, did laundry, and cleaned some of my closet. I felt pretty good. My sinuses hurt a bit, but for the most part I felt good.
I’ve struggled with wanting food all evening. I keep having these silent conversations with myself about food, why I want to eat, why I shouldn’t eat, what it’s done to me so far, and stuff like that.
I had to white heads break out on my forearm today. My tongue still isn’t coated, that’s weird. I’m a bit itchy down between my legs, so I must be detoxing something out down there. &nb ... read more Day 3...morning 18 y
A bit more energy
Day 3-skin brushed, have a little bit more energy this morning. Sinuses still hurt....I hope because it’s detoxing, but who knows. Down 7.7 pounds. I have some work to get done today, so I hope my energy holds out.
Since I messed up after my last juice fast, I’ve been thinking about how I’m going to end this one. Not just end it, but how I’m going to eat afterwards. It’s going to be a struggle, but I know that I can do it, as long as I don’t give in to temptation and cravings. On my last fast I kept thinking about all the junk food that I was going to eat. From expe ... read more Day 2...end of day 18 y
Made it through day 2!!
Whew! I made it!
I skin brushed this morning. I’m down 4.4 pounds. My forehead/sinuses are very painful.
I felt horrible for most of the day today. I went to the chiropractor and found out that I have a viral infection, my sinuses were clogged, my ears were clogged, and my adrenals were working over time. So she worked on all of it. I finally felt better this evening.
My tummy was hungry a few times, but I didn’t give in; I want to feel better. My tongue isn’t coated yet. I’m tired and weak. I did walk outside a little bit today in the sunshine ... read more Day 1...end of day 18 y
Back again!...Fast #3
6-1-06
Let me tell ya, it’s about time!! My headaches are daily again. :( And painful. Riding in a car is torture for my head. I’m so tired and feeling aweful.
So, I’m going at least 30 days again. I will be water fasting and juice fasting. I think a week of water then a week of juice and keep going back and forth. We’ll see how it goes.
I’ve been reading that water fasting is awesome for the body, but that you should only do it supervised if over 9 days. I don’t have the money to go to a fasting clinic, so I figured I could alternate it with juicing.
It’s nice to feel hunger, ... read more Day 4....morning 18 y
It kicked my butt! I'm done until next week.
Wow, I can’t believe how I was feeling on just water. I did all water at the end of my last fast, but not the beginning. I’ve been so tired and weak it just knocked me down. My husband commented to me that I looked horrible and that I probably did it wrong; because I went from normal eating right in to water fast. I didn’t do it gradually. He’s probably right.
He said that next week he’s going to try it and do it right. So, I’ve decided that it would be nice to do the fast together....since he’s never done one at all. So I came off the fast yesterday and we’ll be starting again on ... read more Day 2.....end of day 18 y
But I want to eat
Well, I skin brushed this morning and got on the scale (yes, I have a hard time staying off that thing!), after the first day I’m down 4.6 pounds. WOW!
My head still hurt today, but not as bad as it did on Sunday and Monday.
Food was really a chore today....I wanted it!! This is such a struggle. I want to be healthy, but I want to eat. I want to be thin, but I want to eat. I want to feel good, but I want to eat. What a merry-go-round! I was reading some one’s blog and suddenly had this urge to "forget this crap! and go eat!" I almost did! How horrible!

Sinus infection, oh the pain
I skin brushed this morning.
I went to my chiropractor today and found the culprit of this headache..... a sinus infection ! I usually get one when I detox, so I just got it early! So, I’ll feel better early too. So I took some lysine and hopefully I’ll be a lot better tomorrow morning.
I had some water today. I did fine, I wanted food only once or twice. If I didn’t feel terrible I’m sure I would have had a harder time with wanting food.
Tomorrow is suppose to be nice, so I hope to feel better so that I can go for a walk.
Good Night,

Back with a vengeance!
5-8-06
I did a 30 day juice fast from 3-12-06 to 4-11-06.
This is what I wrote on 4-19-06:
Hey All,
I’m sorry for skipping out on you like it did after my fast was finished. I have lots to say. But first, let’s go over my results:
lost 25 pounds, lost 2 inches in thighs, 2 inches in hip, 2 inches in abs, and 4 inches in waist.
The swelling was totally gone in my ankles and lower legs. My hair seemed not so frizzy. My skin was so soft from the skin brushing. My headaches were about gone. I felt great! I actually felt like doing things. And I could ... read more Day 30.....end of day.....last day!! 18 y
It's the end!!
Things went well today. I did have a slight headache this morning when I got up. Skin brushed. I started house cleaning right away. I shampooed the carpet in the living room and both bathrooms. I had plenty of energy today.
I went for a 2 mile walk which took me 44:11 minutes. I didn’t do any jogging, didn’t feel like it. And didn’t push myself walking either.
I’m finishing up my fast tonight with a liver flush; I can’t wait to have some fruit tomorrow.
I still have a slight cough, so I’m still detoxing. My sleeping hasn’t been very good the last few nights; I keep waki ... read more Day 29.....end of day 18 y
Feeling good, 3 mile walk
Got up, skin brushed. I felt pretty good, still have that cough but not as bad. I figured that the cough is detox. I don’t know what it’s trying to get rid of out of my lungs, but I’m glad it is.
The sun shone wonderfully! I went for a 3 mile walk !! It took 44:25 min. It felt great to be out, but that last mile was a challenge. Then I got back and started cleaning the kitchen. I polished about 1/3 of the cupboards, put up new curtains, and cleaned the track in the window. Felt great!
1 more day!! Then I’m having fruit!!
My mother called me today and asked me to promis ... read more Day 28.....end of day 18 y
What is it with this cough??!?
Thank God it’s the end of the day. I’m so sick and tired of this cough, it’s driving me crazy today!! Could this 6 day cough really be detox?? Is it trying to get something out of my lungs? Good question. I may never know. I almost ate today to get rid of the cough, if it would have worked.
This morning I skin brushed, did a weight workout; which I haven’t done in a week. :(
My husband told me that he’s amazed that I made it this far on only juices and water, and that he don’t think he could do that. I told him that you can do more than you think you can.

Still detoxing, but feel good.
Well, I slept great after taking a sleeping pill (I never do that, but I just couldn’t sleep). But, I woke up with a headache and feeling dizzy.
I’m down 24 pounds. I haven’t seen this weight in 5 years. I skin brushed, took a detox bath, shaved legs, showered, and got ready for my niece’s baby shower.
I still have this dry cough, dry mouth, sore throat, and mild headache. I have decided that this so-called cold, it’s also detox. Because my hubby is now fine with no symptoms in sight after 2 days and I’m going on day 6!! So it must be detox symptoms!!
After the ... read more Day 26....end of day 18 y
I'm a sicko trying to shake it off
Skin brushed. Still blowing nose and all that crap! Throat is dry and stratchy. Went to Salvation are with girls and I got a nice pair of pants!! We got 15 items for 15 dollars! Great savings there!
Had orange juice this morning. Water the rest of day. Well, I did have quite a few win-to-green lifesavers because of my throat being so dry.
Made pizza for the family for dinner. I made a huge 11 layer salad for my niece’s baby shower tomorrow.
By 10:30 I was sleeping in my reliner. I went to bed. I kept waking and coughing and coughing. Got back up at 12:30 and watche ... read more Day 25.....end of day 18 y
Feeling worse, this terrible viral thing
Well, I went shopping. Then I went to get groceries. I’m feeling worse, with this viral cold, crap that I have. Sinuses draining, nose is running, dry mouth, dry cough, sneezing, mild headache just all out having a crappy time. I don’t think that all this is detox, I think it’s just a viral thing that’s going around.
I hope this all ends before I end my fast on Tuesday. I would really hate to end it being sick.
