Morning of day 5
fasting, water, cleansing
Date: 9/26/2014 7:37:56 AM ( 10 y ) ... viewed 9927 times 5th day - My sore throat has returned and the pain in my back and hips is pretty intense and I did a lot more reading and one faster compared it to child labor (in the back and without abdominal contractions). It describes perfectly what I'm feeling. I have had four children so maybe it pulls from previous experiences in the body or who knows. I do think it's fast related now. My energy and mental clarity remain high. If anything, I feel sleepy at some points throughout the day but in between I don't feel sluggish. I'm more productive and focused. I'm sleeping fine but not long, waking before 4 am which is fine.
I'm going to weigh later today as I am down a pound this morning and my weight tends to go down mid morning and then as the evening approaches I retain a bit of water and it can go up a pound or two.
My hunger is the same, it comes and goes in waves and feels no more intense than if I'm not fasting, probably a bit less intense actually and I feel a bit distant from food if that makes any sense at all! I won't lie though, I know darn well if I had a glass of wine ( <3 ) I'd go on an eating spree of terrible foods because it feels good and warm and cozy! I am focused on finding the good feelings while fasting. Energy, a feeling of lightness, mental clarity are all wonderful things but I wouldn't trust myself with a bite of food yet, nor do I want to as I want to complete my fast of course but what I mean is I feel like my palette is still accustomed to foods that got me in a state of inflammation, low energy and depression in the first place.
I have some epsom salts so I may try a hot bath today for the back/hip ache.
