Day 2 of post water fast (refeeding)
“Our wounds are often the openings into the best and most beautiful part of us.” ~David Richo
I am feeling much better, but still very emotional, as I was in full tilt with detoxification. I probably shouldn't have stopped as I did, but it was getting hard to function at work, because I couldn't keep my mind focused on the task at hand, because I was detoxing to hard. I tried to slow it down with juice, but it wasn't helping much so, I decided to end the fast for now. I think in a couple days, I might pick it back up as it is easier for me to do when if I allow too much time pass.
I found myself crying quite a bit. It was mostly about D. and about how much I missed him. I slept well that night, but I woke up very thirsty. Once would think that I would have drank some orange juice or even the smoothie that awaited for me, but I was thirsty for water. I drank about 8 ounces or so and went back to bed.
I woke up very early (about 4:00 a.m.) and spend sometime checking my Facebook and reading the news, and then falling asleep watching a movie. It wasn't until later when I woke up that I felt hungry. So I opened my Odwalla Mango Tango smoothie and sipped on it. It tasted wonderful as well.
I then got up around 2 p.m. After I felt asleep once again. I was really being so lazy. I think it was mostly because I really wanted to be motivated to see D. and I wasn't going to be able to. I did tell him “Good morning and have a good day at work” because I knew he was going to really enjoy working around horses again. My day was really slow and I talked to my Poppa several times just to pass the time.
I didn't do much. I did get out of the house for a bit and drove around just to keep myself moving. I felt lighter and maybe just a bit happier then I had been. I am really uncertain on how concrete I actually felt. How does one explain to another how one feels broken yet still happy. I think it is because I had too many emotions going on. The heartache, the happiness of breaking the fast, the light-heartedness of the sunny day.
I did stop by Kroger and pick up a small cup of melon and fruit, so I could start incorporating some solids into my diet again. I have to say that I was a little nervous, because I didn't want to rush myself into eating solids. I ended up buying another Odwalla smoothie since that seemed to be working for me.
I really kept myself busy with watching movies, napping and reading.
I did noticed that I had about 4 or 5 blemishes on my back when I went to go take a shower. So I was just starting to detox out of my skin when I ended my fast. I also noticed that my urine wasn't foamy any longer, so I had stopped the process of ketosis as well. My sense of smell is still very acute, but I did get a stuffed up sinus, later in the day, which was surprising for me. I mostly stuck to drinking my smoothie and drinking water. I really didn't have much of an urge to really eat anything solid quite yet, but I will try some fruit tomorrow.

Day 3 of post water fast (refeeding)
“Hope costs nothing. ” ~ Colette
Hope costs nothing, but sometimes hope is hard to hold onto, especially when a person is too confused to know which way they are going at times. That is how I felt on Sunday. I still felt lost, if anything, it seemed to be more intense now that I was off my water fast. I think being on the water fast, calmed my emotions more then they are now.
Sunday was a particular bad day (other then D. telling me that he was working on Suday too!) emotionally for me. I want to say that it was the detoxification that was moving around in my body that I stopped. I noticed even more blemishes on my back. Now there was about a dozen or so, but they were small. I guess I was just getting into the deep detoxification when I quit. I hope to finish up another water fast soon, as it always works well for me if I do them close together, to get my body jump started in detoxing and losing a bit of weight. I did noticed that my body seemed to be getting a bit more defined then it was before. I am getting a bit more shapely obliques and my upper (upper abs) rectus abdominis muscles seem to be a bit more defined as well, as the fat is whittling away from it. I still have a long lump at my my lower abs. I am going to be working on that. I am thinking about massaging my belly fat, as I have read that by massaging it, will help bring blood and circulation to that area, and help flush way toxins and fat. So, I am going to try it. It is worth try while, I am working on wanting to better my life.
I had some fruit today. It was awesome! It tasted so good, that I had to make sure that I took it slow, because chewing and tasting was so good. I was really surprised on how very little it took for me to feel full. I never thought simple fruit would taste so good.
MY FOOD LOG: February 10, 2013
BREAKFAST: 4 ounces Odwalla Mango Tango Smoothie
SNACK: None
LUNCH: About 5 cubes of melon, and 2 raspberries
SNACK 2 ounces of Odwalla Mango Tango Smoothie
DINNER: 5 cubes of melon, 4 raspberries, one strawberry
I have to say that when I bought the fruit, I found myself attracted to the fresh stuff and anything in boxes or cans repulsed me. I hope that I keep that feeling, as it is a wonderful feeling to have, when I want to only eat healthy. I am promising myself that I will not eat fast food again (I hope I can keep that promise). If I do eat, it I will only get a salad. I honestly, love this new feeling I am having regarding eating healthy and fresh. Makes me look forward to having a garden this year.
DAILY MORALE: Hopeful yet emotional
EXERICISE: Walked 2.48 miles
WATER INTAKE: Approximately 20 ounces of water
