A blissful, energized evening

I was full of energy all day yesterday. This is a revelation for a caffeine junkie such as myself! In fact, I felt better and had more energy than if I'd had coffee in the morning. As I stated in yesterday's entry, I sat down for some inspirational reading on fasting yesterday evening. I had my sliding glass door open to let in the warm night air (on top of wearing a sweatshirt and having a blanket over my legs) and had a scented candle burning. It was one of the Yankee candles - Christmas Cookie scent. It didn't smell foody to me though, it just smelled warm and comforting. One dog slept on the bed and another on the floor, and as I was reading, this feeling of well being washed over me. I just felt really good and content and happy. The runner's high of fasting! At that moment I decided that I would go for 21 days, rather than saying to myself, "I'll see how I feel at 14 days." I decided to just go ahead and set the goal and stick to it.

I managed to squeeze in an extra lemonade last night, which helped to quell the hunger that has been so persistent lately. Those lemonades are starting to grow on me. Then I took a luxurious long hot bath and relaxed. I slid in between my freshly washed and bleached white sheets and sank down onto the soft pillows for some reading before sleepy time. I felt like I could have stayed up all night, I felt so great and had so much energy, but I knew I'd regret it this morning. I was really appreciating every little thing last night, really feeling that my senses were heightened.

This morning I thought that the SWF hadn't worked. It usually starts passing through w/in half an hour, but today it took over an hour to get going. Right before I had to leave for work!! I am still getting some solids out every morning before the SWF. The cramps from the tea can be bothersome, but they subside once the SWF starts doing its work.

I couldn't imagine today being my last day. I'm just starting to feel really good and I want to keep going! Hopefully when my 21st day comes around, I'll be on a high like I am right now so that I can have a good break.

Hope all of the other cleansers out there are doing well!

Blessed be.
