Ooooohhh, this is getting kinda freaky now! I woke up this morning at 5ish for some reason, then went back to sleep. I woke up several times after that....because I was eating in my dreams! My mouth would close and I would start to chew and I would wake up. The last thing I remember eating in my dream? Carrot sticks. Yup. NOT steak or fries or ice cream....in one dream I was eating a HUGE plateful of Chelsea salad that I get at Star Pizza. Tons of greens, spinach, feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes and walnuts. Yummm......

Scale says: 158 - kinda sucky, I think.   Reminder to self:  I am NOT doing this to lose weight.  I am doing this for my health.

I was expecting a more dramatic weight loss, but perhaps because I have been in weight loss mode for so long I didn't have the dramatic drop most people have their first few days of dieting or fasting.  I am NOT doing this to lose weight, I am doing this for my health....

Thursday I get orange juice!!! Hooray!!

I was really tired yesterday and when I woke up this morning I was feeling dizzy. I think I will up the lemonade back to 8 glasses, and be sure to get at least 3 liters of water in. I'll make 2 glasses with blackstrap molasses, to be sure I'm getting enough iron. The molasses I have is House of Herbs brand, and it claims to have 70% of the RDA (do they call it that anymore?) of iron per tablespoon, while other brands only have 7%. Do you think this is a typo? If not, I wonder what it is about their stuff that makes it so much higher than everyone else's?

I totally spaced checking out the fresh cane syrup. Hmmm....note to self: stop by on the way to work and get some frigging cane syrup! I'm reluctant to go, I think, because they also have a huge bin of homegrown tomatoes, and I'm afraid I may dive headfirst into it.

Things do not seem to be moving along internally, and after seeing all of the stuff still in my colon during my colonic despite the fast, I decided I didn't want to let any toxins sit around reabsorbing into my system and took action. I gave myself a castille soap enema. Just for kicks, I used Dr. Bronner's Almond oil liquid castille (the only kind of his that I know of that doesn't burn the nether regions). I think it has hemp oil in it, too. Seemed that would help lubricate things, haha. Lots of goo eliminated, I was happy I did it.

Four years ago, if someone had told me I'd be drinking lemonade for my meals, intentionally NOT eating, and squirting soapy water into my rectum while face down on the bathroom floor and tail up in the air...AND telling the world about it on the internet, I would have laughed til I had a heart attack. Probably literally. Four years ago I was 230 lbs. and would sometimes crawl up the stairs to my apartment if I thought nobody was looking because I would lose my breath and get dizzy and faint.
