Thanks for the supportive thoughts, and the good advice about not breaking the fast during a cleansing crisis. I hadn't even really thought that possibility through, and I can see where that wouldn't be a wise move. Yes, it feels like 10 days would be perfectly appropriate in my situation.
Did I mention that I have a physical coming up on January 27th, and last year my cholesterol was high; 241. I got it down to 219 in 3 months, so it will indeed be interesting to see what the outcome is this year! Cross your fingers, as will I!
