Update on 30+ Day Fast
End of Day 1, Day 2 and Day 3 (finally got on scale)

Wow! I feel so great this morning. Last night was terrible. Started with the typical "early cleanse" headache, and then I was doubled over and crying from severe menstrual cramps. I was bleeding heavily all day, and then got hit with the cramps. I finally passed some major "stuff" and then felt drained and weak. I have been anemic for a few months now, and I'm sure my levels dropped even lower. I curled up in bed without my last 2 lemonades or my tea. I fell asleep quickly and hubby and kids couldn't wake me up when they got home. I slept from around 8pm until 2am without any disturbance. Then I was back in the bathroom; still heavy, but not as bad as yesterday and no cramps.
My bowels moved fine without the tea, but I'll still take my morning cup to keep everything moving.
I do feel a bit of hunger this morning, but I only had 4 lemonades yesterday. So I'm going for 8 today. Need to keep my fluids up, and flush the toxins out.
And now for Day 2:
I had a great day. Worked at my daughter's school and then swapped kids with some friends. One took the girls, and I took the boys (3). We made cookies (not tempted at all!) and pizza. They had a blast, and I survived (too much noise, but good kids.)
I drank all 8 glasses of lemonade. Missed the morning tea, but had the evening tea, and everything is still moving well...
Start of Day 3 (today):
Just woke up after having weird dreams about being about to deliver my third child (not pregnant, and won't be having more children). Actually very comical dream, but glad it's not true!
Finally got on the scale, and my weight is back to 232, where I had stabilized. Guess it'll be dropping 1-2 pounds per day for a few more days, then the slowdown...
We've got a busy day with the boys and then swapping back kids to get ready for a one day religious assembly tomorrow. I'm going to make my lemonade tonight because we need to leave by 7 a.m. tomorrow for the entire day. The family and friends are going to Sizzler afterwards. Usually, I would get the salad bar, but tomorrow I'll be sippin' lemonade and enjoying the association!
I still am not exercising, other than daily activities (like housework). I am VERY sore and want to wait until after the assembly because it's really hard for me to sit with my back pain. It's about a 100 minute drive each way, plus a lot of sitting during the day, so I need to be as pain-free before I leave tomorrow as possible. Tomorrow, I'll really miss the back meds, but at least I'll be more alert!
So, next week I'll start back on the treadmill every other day, with some light weights on alternating days... I hope to get into a regular routine, because I need to firm up as I slim down!
Well, that's the update. I'll post again tomorrow night or Monday.
