Day Nineteen
A personal journey to health and freedom through water fasting
Date: 6/14/2010 1:03:44 PM ( 14 y ) ... viewed 2005 times Had an unusual compliment the other day, that I forgot to share. After Sunday's service, one of the camermen (our church services are televised) came up to me and said, "I'm so glad you are in the choir. The camera just loves you. You just glow!!" Now, I have been in that choir for a year, and I have never "glowed" before. Could it be that water fasting is releasing my "inner glowworm"? Could be!
Noticed this morning that the dark circles under my eyes are much lighter. They were never puffy bags, just deep, blackened indentations that made me look like I went a round with Rocky Balboa. Somewhere along the line, I read that it was linked to liver disfunction. If so, I have had a disfunctional liver since I was a teenager. I guess that's entirely possible. But so, so sad.
My right leg is still giving me all sorts of fits. It has been consistently cramping, on and off for days now. Getting really concerned about my potassium level (a kind of important mineral that makes my little heart go up and down like it should). If I were being supervised on this fast by a doctor, he/she could take a blood sample and tell me if I were in mortal danger with low potassium. But since I am doing this on my own, I just have to listen to my body.
Anyway, it has gotten my attention, and I am just smart enough to listen. I have decided to transition from water fasting to juice fasting on Thursday (2 days from now). That will make this water fast an even 21 days. My plan is to spend a week on fresh, low GI vegetable juices (no fruit juices--too much fructose). Then two additional weeks on vegetables (with perhaps, a little protein, like Salmon or lentils). Then, I'll start another round of water fasting, hopefully with fully recharged mineral reserves.
I think it best on the juice fast/vegetables that I remain accountable, and keep track of my weight daily, and also be very attentive to what I am eating. So, I guess I'll continue this blog through the next phase of my most excellent "journey", also.
Now the worst part... knowing that soon, very soon, wonderful, out-of-this-world good taste sensations are going to wash over my tongue... Oh I can barely stand it. It's like being a kid and waiting for Christmas!!
More later...
