Well, here I am at day 7. This fast has been great. I have developed a funky looking rash on my right arm just above the armpit and the same kind of rash just under my left breast. Two days ago when I woke from a nap my whole body was itching. Then I noticed these 3 worm-like rashes in the places previously mentioned. I didn't scratch since I knew they'd only get bigger. I assume they are a detox symptom and will wait them out. I did take a long bath with epsom salts mixed in and that helped. I haven't been overwhelmingly tired, but have been gently with myself in regard to resting. I know my body works overtime when I'm either asleep or simply have my eyes closed. I went on a 10 minute stroll today. I was aiming for 2 miles, but this March weather is deceiving with it's sunshine and FRIGID winds. I came home when I started to shiver. The walk will have to wait. Will do some housework and hopefully that will give me a bit of exercise. I have used the senna tea two times so far when I feel I need it and it has served it's purpose. I am glad this has coincided with spring, because it allows me to get rid of things I no longer have use for. Thank goodness for freecycle (www.freecycle.com). Haven't had any kind of cravings since day one. I did make myself a paper chain (remember grade school at Christmas time?). I put 40 links on it and silly as it sounds, I can't wait until bedtime when I can rip a link off. My primary reason for this fast is not weight loss, but this morning when I put on a pair of pants that this time last week I had to literally squeeze into, they just slid on. That was nice. My scale is broken and fluctuates between 3-8 lbs so it's not trustworthy right now. All the better, so I won't weigh myself. I look forward to more energy, but am also anticipating some cleansing crises and I welcome both. Oh, I have been drinking a gallon of distilled water a day. Don't know if I mentioned that before, but first thing in the morning I feel parched and once I have that first 8 oz. of water, all is well. I was planning on posting daily, but so far the fast has been uneventful (with exception of the creepy looking rashes). Will start posting more regularly.
