Day 20 of my water fast

I am on day 20 of my water fast. I have been doing well. I am still very active and the weak, slow days that I was having when I was severely detoxing has disappeared. I am enjoying my fast a bit more now then I was a week or so ago.

I feel fit and healthy and I am drinking at least 20 onces of water when I am really thirsty, but sometimes it is over all of the day. If I am doing something strenous, I tend to drink a bit more then I normally would.

I have noticed that my ring on my left hand is so loose that it could easily fall off it if wasn't for my knunkle. My ring on my right hand isn't that loose, but that might be because I am right handles and have more muscle in those fingers.

I have lost a just a lb of weight, or I should say fat. I know weigh about 114 lbs, so I really have to watch how long I fast. I will have to pray to God when he wants me to end this. I knew that He wanted me to fast to at least Sunday, a big possibly stressful day for me. It wasn't as stressful as I thought it might be. I enjoyed it so much.

I have had more blemishes break out on my back and I have been using a brush on my back to stimulate the skin and help it get rid of that toxins that are trying to escape. But all and all I feel very good about this fast.

I have been praying a lot about things. Just guidance in a lot of direction in my life and what I can do to please God more then I do.

Sadly, I haven't heard from Person A in over a week. No calls and it really hits me hard, but God is comforting me with this loss and slowly healing the pain that I have for this man. I still love him, but I know now that I have to keep it to myself. I have been praying that no matter what happened between us, that God bless him and give him the guidance to make it where he wants to go. A deep part of me still wants him back and would run into his arms he wanted to see me. But I know it is for the best, because God tells me so.

I didn't make church on Sunday because I was upset with the slight argument that Person B and I had. It was giving me a headache. I wrote him an email about the picnic I planned and that I was fasting, but he didn't read it I prayed about it and God gave me the strength to reach out and still ask if he would see like to see me on Sunday.

We went on our date and I was 45 minutes late, because I was scrambling around getting stuff together,which I would have done on Saturday, but since I was upset, I didn't do it. We walked around Quarry park, enjoyed the water, the fish and ducks. Just being out in nature and taking it all in was very nice. I told him I planned a picnic and he was so surprised and I started taking things out for him. He thought I packed too much, but he enjoyed it. He told me to eat and I told him I can't. He looked at me seriously and asked me if something was wrong. I told him no. I was fasting and I can't eat this food right now, because if I were to break my fast on these foods, I would be very very ill. He asked me for how long. I told him about 2 weeks. It has been a little bit more then two weeks, but I didnt' want him to worry. He just sat there and said “This is serious” I told him not it isn't. It is just between me and God. He then said, No this is serious between you and God, that is what I meant. I told him Yes, it is, that is why I couldn't really tell him about it since it was just between me and God. He said he understood, but still felt bad because he was eating in front of me and I was just sitting there. It didn't really bug me at all. It just felt good that he liked the food that I pick for him. I told him that I would normally make my own potato and pasta salad, but I couldn't because I would have to taste test to make sure it was right. He didn't push me to eat anything, but he did ask me if I could suck on a piece of strawberry or something. I told him no, because it wasn't time for me to end my fast yet. He told me that he fasted once but only for three days but never had he went 2 weeks before. I told him that it was hard at times, but God gives me strength to do that He has to do in my life. He prayed over the food and even prayed for me and my fast, so that God might work with me more fully so that I might do His will. It was very nice.

We hiked a bit on some rocks and I found a fossil of some shells in a big limestone rock, which I took home to put on my deck. We walked about 5 or 6 miles around the Quarry, checking out the vegetation, raspberry bushes, apples trees, daisies. It was quite a workout for me climbing those rocks and I had to stop a couple times because I felt dizzy. He asked me more then once if I was ok, which since he knew I was fasting, He was worried about me and wished that I would eat something. I told him that I will eat again, please don't worry. I told him that I was fine and just had to have a little bit of time to let my body rest.. We hiked until I didn't think I could go any further, I just wanted to get back to my cooler so I could get something to drink, because I was feeling very weak after such a strenuous exercise. When we got back, I had 3 sips of cranberry juice and about 5 onces of water. I drank it slowly because I didn't want to make myself ill. I laid my head down for a bit and he got worried. I told him that I was just tired from walking a lot. Normally, I would have eaten something, but I am not so, I have to wait a bit for my strength to come back. He ate again and still was telling me that he felt bad for eating in front of me. If he would have known, he would have allowed me to do this. It might have been harder for me if he tried to take me to a restaurant and wanted me to eat. LOL He told me once I am done with my fast and intergrated foods into my system, so that I could eat regularly, he wanted to take me out to a nice restaurant.

We feed the fish little pieces of bread and then the 4 white ducks came around and we fed them too. He talked a lot and just enjoyed each others company. It was nice, but I know he isn't Person A, which I do miss, but I find that Person B, is so enjoyable to be around. The date didn't end until around 9:30 p.m.. LOL, we were still talking about things and he wanted to see me again.

I went to bed around 11:00 p.m. I was soooooo tired and I turned my electric blanket on a bit because the cool air was coming in my window, but it was to soothe any tight muscles I might have from walking all day. I checked my ketones last night and this morning and I am still burning them around 80mg which is good.

I hope everyone is doing well on their fasts and keep up with it. I know it is hard, but you CAN do it!
