Re: New girl!

Probably should have ended the fast 2 to 3 days ago. Skin is pretty clear - friends have commented on a "glow". Cheeks have hollowed a bit. Weight loss 21 pounds. I expect to regain around 6-7 pounds very quickly, to replace initial water loss. Don't feel exhausted exactly, but I failed to achieve my target 21 days by half a day - this is partly because I scheduled too much work for the last day. I felt okay when I got in and prepared my room, but my first Reiki client blew me away - nausea and a feeling I would black out - I couldn't cope with the energy overload (hands practically burning client, her head full of colour). I think I have cleared my channel all right, but you need strength as well as clarity to hold Reiki energy! Had to cancel all my clients for the afternoon and return home. I also felt heartily sick of the unpleasant taste in my mouth and felt very hungry (as I have done for the last 3 days). This teaches me that attention really should be given to the natural end of the fast. Anyway, I did this for me and I'm happy with 20.5 days. Maybe I needed a shortfall to keep my ego in check. The first fruit I ate tasted wonderful, really sweet (like candy). My first meal was two plums, my second meal (about 45 mins later) some melon and grapes and half a cup of organic mango and apple. All delicious. Ongoing, I will be vegetarian, not vegan, but with minimal dairy. No, it was not as tough as I thought.
