Day 8 of the water fast

Wow, today I feel great and seem to have a ton of energy, but I know not to push it too hard. I slept with my electric blanket last night on low that just warmed my body. From previous fast, I have noticed that I become colder easier and of course, it has been getting done in the 50's and 60's where I live. So I am cold. LOL

I slept well until about 4 in the morning. I was up and I fought to get back to sleep. Tossed and turned until I felt back to sleep. I heard my radio go off this morning, but I must have falling alseep again and woke up about half an hour before I was suppose to be to work! Boy did I have energy!

Last night I was so tired. I helped my Uncle Loren put up my awning on my trailer. I went over to the house around 5:30 and waiting. I fell alseep briefly in the chair for about a half around waiting. My body was felt so worn out. Finally around 6:30 we started on it. We didn't get done finished with most of it until almost 11:00 p.m. I was so weak and tired, I didn't know if I could go on much longer. I went to bed soon after that. I took my Bible to bed so I could read it and I didn't even get that far. I was out!

I can't remember how much water I drank yesterday. I think it was only about 40 or 50 oz. I really drank when I felt ill and that is probably because my ketones were high.

The really challenge was yesterday evening. Uncle Loren had to me run to the hardware store to get some bolts and nuts for my awning because the ones he had were too big. It took me a while to make sure I had the right ones. I have pride myself to be able to do stuff like that and I am a women. No one had to help me. :o)I stuggled a bit with it, but I was patient and I found them! When it took a while and I thought it might be nice to bring Uncle Loren something to eat. I pulled in to McDonalds and ordered him a Cheeseburger and a fries. When I got the bag, it smelled so good. It made me miss potatoes, which I love. But I had no urge to steal a fry or anything. Just the smell itself was a feast for me and I was happy. I passed the ultimate test!

My smell has gotten better and my sinuses are still draining a bit. I find the smells that I could really smell well due to my clogged sinus, to really bug me now. Cigerette smoke, tar from the road, garbage that was just siting out at my friend's house. I must be wrinkling my nose alot with all the nasty smells I have been smelling.

I only had 94% of my walking goal yesterday. I was too weak to walk anymore. I have walked a lot today already and I am already at 42% of my goal for the day and I still have 9 more hours to go. I have to work both of my jobs tonight so I am sure I will be worn out once again.

No serious detox symptoms yet. No new small blemishes, which is good to. But I might not fully detox until next week when my body is moving more and more out of my body. I am trying to be prepared on this.

My rings are fitting looser and my face a bit thinner. Ahhh, those cheek bones. My skin look radiant as well. I have noticed that my arms and legs look just a bit more toned as the fat is whittled from them. It is really weird to watch the whole process. I kind of wish I could see in my body and see what my body and organs are doing as well. How the fat within my body and stuff is being pushed around. It would be amazing to see. I bet if people could see into their bodies, they might live healthier because they could see the damage they do to it.

I had this weird dream. At first is was wonderful but weird. I was a nanny for a little girl about 2 years old. She was very sweet, but fussy at times. I am good with children so I was able to handle her. It was funny that the mother was Britany Spears and her former husband, Kevin. It was weird because I could hear Kevin say that I was better with the child then what she was. Of course, I was doting on the girl since I have no children of my own. It was fun. We played, and laughed and when she feel asleep I had to change her into her pjs. It was after she was asleep, somone asked me to go get them the sub that was was in the kitchen and I could have the other half. It was a subway sub. My favorite. I remember taking a bite and saying that the heck and spitting the bite out because I am fasting! It was really weird that even in my dream, I knew that I was fasting and I couldn't eat. LOL

I was fretting about Person A last night really hard. I cried and I think that wore me out even more. I told God that I need release of this, it is just tearing me up inside.

I guess I have kind of made a decision in a way, but I am not happy with it because I told Person B. I would meet with him on July 12 to just walk in the park and enjoy each other's company and talk. He has been asking me and asking me, but I have sidelined him, which is not right. I am either interested in him or I am not. I am interested in him, but I also had a lingering love for someone else.

I know that God places people and things in our lives that He knows that will be good for us. We can't always make those type of choices ourselves. We have to allow Him to work with us regarding them. I guess that is why I am fighting so much. I need to be broken so God can work with me.

I hope everyone is doing well on the fast. You CAN do it. Keep it up and remember. you WILL eat again just not now temporarily.
