Day 20
I’m quite glad I underwent this experience. My first impulse in doing it was to break an unhealthy attachment to food, and while I don’t know if that was accomplished, I actually discovered what the unhealthy attachment was. My ego used food to hurt me and my body. There were times where I felt I couldn’t control myself in what I was eating, now I know where that came from, and I can put a stop to it.
As for healing, I know and believe my GI tract system is healthier now. I just won’t be seeing those results quite yet. Nothing to worry or care about, those will come and I will be wonderful grateful at my new found health. Or should I say, rediscovery at a return of the great health I use to be in.
So, went about half the day with water. Lost another pound, but I peed a lot this morning before weighing myself. Still some rumbling and cramping in the intestines. Tongue was still coated, so got detoxing to do while juicing. Still body pain in the sides and lower back. Kind of cold today. Emotionally I was feeling good and excited to change to a juice fast.
Had a wonderful energy psychology session (or EFT) today, everything that was in my way of keeping me from being healthy by the end of the month is gone now. Still up to me and my actions and thoughts, to get their though. But I will be traveling with Swami and I will be healthy.
Think that’s about it, I’ll continue the juicing part of this day in a juicing blog.
Activities: ~40 minutes pranayamas, an hour of meditation, and guided.

Day 19 of the Fast
Day 19
The past three days have been pretty wonderful. Definitely my best three days in a row on this fast. Was so full of energy today, went for a walk and I was feeling so calm and at peace. It was magically. It makes me kind of want to continue with the water fasting, but the body and higher guidance have spoken and I will be transitioning to a juice fast tomorrow. I’m not sure how long it will last, yet.
That calm peaceful feeling was definitely a feeling of being on the right path though. Peaceful and everything is as it is supposed to be.
So, lost a pound. Tongue is still coated, but mostly the center and left side. Colon still a bit ugh feeling, but wasn’t too bad today. Did have some cramping. Was a bit of a cold feeling day, but it was fine. Do get some pain from under my ribs, not under them, but lower down in my body. Lower back seems to be acting up again.
Going back to the good, last weekend it seemed like my eyes were getting lighter (been dark brown) and starting to get specs of gold. This weekend, I thought they were getting darker, almost like I was losing my light. Not sure how to word that correctly, but today they were looking lighter again. My guess, as I continue to detox my body with juice, they could continue to get a bit lighter with more gold. At least, I’d like that.
Oh, my belly, there is still belly fat (don’t care), but it seems to be a lot less bloated/sticking out, then it use to be. Hopefully that means the intestines are much healthier now. And I have been still gassy and feeling a bit bloated, so given that, plus the big decrease, I’m saying it is a great positive sign.
What else is there to say? The fast, while it was brutal at times, has definitely been beautiful (to steal someone else’s phrase), and I’m quite excited to see all the healing my system has undertaken during this experience.
Activities: ~40 minutes pranayamas, an hour of meditation, guided meditation, and a walk about 45 minutes.

Day 18 of the Fast
Day 18
I slept fairly well last night, but I accomplished this by going to bed later than I wanted too. Seems while on the fast my body wants to get to bed later and sleep in later. And I had hoped to re-adjust my sleep schedule when fasting. Now I know!
Didn’t lose any weight. Another good energy day, actually went out for a walk because it got up to 50. Did have some cold moments, but I was fine for the walk. First time it has been above 40 I think. Tongue is still coated in some areas, colon still feeling some bloating, rumbling, fullness, but maybe not as bad today. Still got gas though.
Also believe I have come to a decision. My goal has been to fast to completion, but today from higher guidance and my body, I’m feeling for my body, completion doesn’t mean going to true hunger, but switching to juice for perhaps a week. Feels like that would be best, and plan to do that in the afternoon of day 20 or on day 21. Body hasn’t given clear directions on that yet. Feels like the right choice though, I was getting attached to going to “true hunger” while saying I wasn’t attached to a number. My focus was getting too locked in on one thing.
I know I have done some healing, and I know this change will finish the healing. I will be healthy by the end of this month. That’s my intention, my goal, and the reality I’m creating. I’m actually healthy now, to be honest, but the illusion/reality I currently exist in has me not so much. So, changing that, to one in which I do reflect my true self. A physically strong and healthy person with a perfectly function body and GI tract.
I'm quite excited.
Hmm… not sure what else to say, so the end for now.
