Day 9
Seeing the light at the end of the long tunnel
Date: 7/14/2006 8:03:04 AM ( 18 y ) ... viewed 3247 times All I can say is the two teabag thing from the previous night was probably overkill, lol. I was up at around 4:40am and I knew I had to go- my alarm is set for 5:10 and I try not to get up in the 4 o'clock hour for anything, but there was no way I could fight this. So I ran to the bathroom and decided maybe for this night's tea I'll cut back down to one teabag. ;)
Although it was a drag getting up that early my morning was great! I had extra time to do a few chores before going to work and I got the recycling out that we forgot to do last night. My energy is fine, but it doesn't seem to last long if I push it. But I knew this was going to be a good day!
Work was crazy and I was up for it. My mind was clear and I was happy; if only all the days of this fast were like this! I felt sort of sad that it would be ending soon but I realized it would take a few days to get back to eating normal solid foods again so I wasn't exactly out of the woods just yet... what a journey so far.
There were two times where my stomach actually growled. Maybe my body is telling me enough is enough... which is fine, because I really am ready. As good as the lemonades are it gets difficult and boring to only drink that one thing for 10 days. I really needed to be strong during this whole thing and now that I see the light at the end of the tunnel I'm glad I did.
My BMs still weren't clear; I still had 2-3 a day and I wondered- where am I getting all this stuff from? I won't be going any longer than 10 days so I planned on trying another 10 day fast in November. I figured since this is my first it's possible I won't be squeaky clean but I'm not overdoing it either. I've gone by the book and my results have pretty much been textbook too, and I was thankful for that.
I eventually took a nap when I got home from work, partially because my BF was making dinner and because I was up earlier than usual. I cut my senna tea down to one teabag (LOL) at night and went to bed around 10pm. I've been keeping my bedtime consistant even on the weekends to make this as smooth as possible.
I should also mention my clothes are baggy on me now and I have to wear a belt with my jeans. I'm going to weigh myself Saturday morning after my first BM and before my first OJ (YAY!) so I'll report the results after, and I'm curious to see how much of it I can keep off. C said she's still only down 7 or 8 pounds and I can tell she's disappointed, but I think that's great and probably right around normal. I can only hope for the same!
