Wow, I am on day 24 of my water fast!

Today is day 24. I feel good and I am very peaceful about my fasting right now. I feel very enlightened about things.

I didn't go swimming last night because I was afraid if I went by myself, I might get too weak to drive home from using so much energy, so I just laid and bed and took a 2 hour nap. I woke up refreshed. I am planning on going swimming at a nearby pool, just down the road from where I live tonight.

My date with Person B was canceled because something has come up and he wants to meet with me at 9:00 p.m so we are not going to putt putt golf as planned. We are just going to walk in the park and eat a Denny's. Sorry for him, but I am not eating but I will entertain him if he is hungry. I have to say that I am disappointed in the change of plans, because I was looking forward to playing putt putt.

I noticed last night that my hearing has gotten more acute and a neighbor was beating on something last night about 10:00 p.m. and it was so loud to me that I wanted to go tell them to knock it off. I also noticed I could hear the ticking of the clock in the enterance way in the office and it was so loud as well. I have noticed it is more of my right ear then anything. Somethings seem loud in my right ear, which is funny since I have never had hearing problems.

My mind seems very sharp and alert even thought at times, I don't feel like talking like I usually do. I am just in relaxation mode a lot now. Just letting God and my body do its work

I didn't drink much last night and I woke up this morning really dehydrated and had to drink some water. It tasted so good! I had this nasty taste in my mouth but I noticed that my tongue was only a little bit coated, which means that my body is doing what it should be doing.

I haven't noticed any new blemishes on my back at all and now the ones that I had are now healing up pretty quickly. I might go swimming tonight without a shirt covering up my back. I think I really need a bit of sun. Dr. Shelton wrote that a bit of sunbathing when fasting is good for you. I need lots of Vitamin D. I know that fasting has helped with my Depression years ago. It helped balanced out the chemicals that regulate the brain and so forth. Fasting has kind of reset my body and my mind to the correct mode it should be in.

My left hand feels naked now that I don't have a ring on it. I miss my ring. I will have to purchase a new ring to wear on the finger, since all the ones that I have are way to big and I might lose those ones as well. LOL. I don't want that.

I have noticed that it is lovely to slip into a pair of pants without grunting as I pull them over my hips and thighs. They just glide right on and hang so nicely that they feel more comfortable to wear.

I have to do something about my back muscles. I have been trying to work them out a bit, but it tires me so quickly and I know my back hurts because my muscles are poor. I am thinking about doing some of those ridiculous exercises that I did when I was about 8 years old in gym. We would stand and lean forward and then lean back and then side to side. I thought it was really stupid when I was younger, but I just might try them everyday for a while to help strengthen my back and abdominal muscles. It couldn't hurt to try them.

I was looking at my face this morning when I was washing it and I noticed how much of a glow that my skin had. I noticed that the blotcheness of my skin was gone and it was all one hue. It looked so radiant and beautiful I just stared at it for a couple minutes in wonder. I have always looked younger then my age, but when I looked in the mirror, I didn't see a 34 year old at all. I looked more like 25 years old. I have had people thinking I was about 25 or 27 years old at the least, but I never really looked at my face really well until now. It was amazing how young I looked in the mirror. If I had any wrinkles starting on my face, you wouldn't be able to see them now. LOL!

Two people that I am in contact with almost daily (guys) noticed that I have lost some weight and said I was looking great. I just a fibbed abit (which I HATE doing, but I had to) and told them I gave up fast food and junk food. One of the guys just said “Wow, it has really made a difference in how you look” I just smiled and said “Thank you.”

I tried to call Person A. at the hotel he is staying at twice today, but no answer. He must be sleeping or not there. He called me twice last night around 3:00 a.m. from the hotel he is roomed at, but I had my ringer off so I could sleep in case anyone called. Now, I wish I would have had it on, so at least I could talk to him.

Person B I really don't know about. My mother knows his name and she asked me if he was able to preform marriages. I said “No, mom.” Well, she googled him and his name came up and was wondering if it was the same guy. I told her that I don't think so. I believed if he was able to do something like that he would have told me. Well, I googled him myself and yes, there is a guy in my town with the same name. It had a phone number and I was shocked when I realized that was his number. So he is an ordained minister and never told me. What is that all about? My mother has to tell me. It just seems a bit weird that he would have that advertised online, but not tell me about it. I wonder what I am going to say to him.

What ever happens. I am just happy with God and that is all that matters. I have been praying as to when to end my fast. I think there are a couple more things that God needs to work within me before I end this lovely fasting time with Him. I can honestly say that my love for God has grown more fully and deeper during this fast.
