Last night I was up and down with how I felt. I was restless and I settled down a bit by playing a video game, in order to keep my mind occupied. I got bored pretty quickly and tried another game, but my mind wasn't in it. I just watched myself die over and over again. I was playing Mortal Kombat Annihilation chess. It was the lousiest chess game I ever played in my life. Then of course, it wasn't a normal chess game. LOL I am usually very good at chess. I played the game, because I wanted some action, and I was lousy at fighting, as I hadn't played it in a while. LOL

My sleep schedule is really weird right now. I made my way back in my bedroom to relaxing about 8:00 p.m. because I was tired of being alone. When I came home, Phil and his son were holed up in the guest room. I waited patiently to see if they would come out. No. They ate in there, and played Uno in there. P.J only came out to bring his dishes out. So Phil never said a word to me all day, which I really hate, because I am human and I do like interaction too. So I went to my bedroom I put in a movie and then took a shower.

I remember the 5 steps of elimination, so I made sure I got nice and hot, I did some skin brushing, while I was in the shower so I could stimulation my skin. After wards, I allowed myself to dry naturally in the cool air in the bathroom. I do feel better today but nausea is creeping up. My stomach feel a little full, I think that bile is backing up in my stomach and giving me a sour stomache like it usually does when I water fast. Plus I have the hiccups several times last night and today. Blah!

I looked at the clock when Phil took a shower and left soon after. I had hoped he would stick his head in and say “Hi” but I wasn't the lucky. It was about 9:00 p.m. I must have falling alseep after that and I woke up at 9:45 p.m. I felt like I slept all night! I woke up again around 11:00 p.m., 12:15 a.m. and 1:30 a.m. I didn't hear Phil come in from playing pool or what ever he was doing. I woke up around 5:00 a.m. and had to go to the bathroom, so I got up and went. I had a hard time falling back to sleep and I listened to P.J.get up take a shower, and left the house for school. I even watched the sunlight creep in between the window blinds 6:30 a.m. I fell back to sleep and slept for another 1 ½ before getting up.

My skin looks really nice, except for on my back which is breaking out in blemishes ( 6 or 7 of them), which is really yucky, but I know it is all part of the process and I am trying to embrace it as much as possible.

My neck is looking very thin and swan like. No little pudge under my chin. My high cheek bones are not visible again, which is lovely. I can feel my collar bone, but I can visibly see it in the mirror. I can feel my hips a bit too, but they are not jutting out, like they were when I was much much skinner. The fatty pouch around my belly button hasn't been getting smaller, but I have noticed that it does feel looser then it has in the past. I hope that I can fast long enough to get rid of that. Good bye poor eating while in college! Good bye poor eating period!

Last night when I was awake at 5:00 in the morning, I did some stomach crunches, to help strengthen my abdominal muscles. They weren't push up, when where just small stomach crunches, in which I would tighten my abdominal muscles, relax and tighten them again. I did about 15 of them, until it started to hurt my belly a bit.

I had a slight itchy leg early in the morning, but it was on the inside of my leg, which I had some wobbly fat, so I am wondering if that is a sign that my body was burning some of the fat way. LOL

My size 10 pants are really loose on me, but I haven't tried on a smaller size yet. I kind of like my pants baggy, as I like the roominess they give me. Maybe this weekend I will try on a size 8 to see how they fit.

My tongue is coated and white, but I am brushing my teeth 2 or 3 times away to combat the nasty taste in my mouth.
