Day 10
Last night, it seemed like I was waking up every hour. Maybe sometimes less. Made for a real fun time sleeping. When I was up, found out I changed the cycle of no weight loss and was down to 143 now. I’m feeling fine, so really not worried about that. The body can hold so many toxins and extra water in it, that cleansing those will of course drop the weight.
I was feeling a bit tired again today. Came in phases. Sometimes tired, other times not. Really didn’t bother me much, besides when I tried to meditate. Body was in some pain though, mostly my lower back. That’s been quite the pain giver. Other areas, I won’t bother going in too. Hopefully the new aches and pains, heck the old ones too, are just signs the body is detoxing itself.
I still have an attachment to food it would seem. Still thinking about and craving food a bit. Would still love to be able to just eat and eat, whatever, with no consequences. That’s just the ego being silly.
Went to a conscious eating class today and some good messages on eating and what to eat, healthily. Made me realize how well timed it was. After the fast is over, I’ll go in to just juices for a bit. Then solid foods, and this fast is like hitting the reset button on my body. My stomach that was use to the American diet of overeating should be smaller, so I will be able to eat smaller portions and feel full. I’ll also have been off eating a lot of junk for a while, so healthier food should taste better. Just need to prevent any old habits from returning. Although after having done all this fasting, it will be much easier to not throw it all away. I do know, once I’m back to eating the hard work will really start. Sticking to eating healthy. Fasting is easy, just drink water.
Hmm... tongue is still coated. Intestines have been a bit crampy and unhappy at times. Might have to try a colonic. I’ll see. Oh yes, it was a mind trick of it looking like I was gaining fat. Odd one, and not that I really care. The fast isn’t about that, but always a nice added bonus!
Had a wonderful healing session that removed a lot of emotionally/mental/spiritual junk. Didn’t really have any emotional issues today, but was busy so no time for boredom.
And, I think that is it.
Edit: Just remembered, because I had them for a moment, I'm still getting some hunger pangs from time to time. Also was very thirsty again.
Activities: ~40 minutes pranayamas, guided meditations, and 1 hour meditation.
Weight: 143

Day 9 of the Fast
Day 9
Again, no weight loss. So that was good. I was feeling cold again today, more so than yesterday, but it didn’t seem to be all day. A couple hours after waking I was feeling tired and weak again, that lasted on and off for a couple more hours.
Still some lower back pain, along with a muscle up the side of my back. Hamstring still isn’t right, but it wasn’t telling me so all day. Still some issues with the knees, wrist, and neck too. For some reason it seems my stomach area has gained fat, er? Hopefully a mind trick.
Been thirsty a lot. Third day in a row I believe. Still not sure I’m moving out all the water I’m putting in. Really odd, storing it in my tummy fat? Ended up using an enema, the body wanted it and it did cause me to pass some stuff. A little solid, the rest not. Hopefully toxins being removed from the body.
Not the best mental/emotional days. Still thinking about food, had some moments of wanting to break the fast again. Emotionally though, had plans to go out fall through again, that makes three days stuck at home. So I was feeling extremely bored. Also had an on edge feeling, just a lot of… energy of the… not sure what type to call it, but it is maddening. That luckily has mostly passed now.
Oh think I may have watched a little more TV today then I should have.. being all crazy bored and having gotten stuff done, caused that. But I finally got to see how the 6th Sense ends. I was shocked at the twist! I won't say what, I don't want to spoil it.
(edit: Looking back on this today, I was a bit too focused on the muck to do more positive things... it's a learning process)
Tongue is still coated, and I think that’s it.
Activities: ~40 minutes pranayamas and 1 hour meditation.
Weight: 145

Day 8 of the Fast
Day 8
A day of blessings.
My hamstring was making it known today it wants to be taken care of gingerly. I came to the conclusion it was injured to tell me to stop doing activities that work the body a lot. Okay, medium too. So it was a blessing, I want this fast to heal this body, and going too hard will hinder that.
To further the point, believe I strained something in my back, and the lower back has been problematic. Positive the pain isn't coming from the kidneys, because moving helps the pain. It is only in certain positions.
The next blessing I realized, pretty much every day I have either; been around food, smelled food cooking, or seen people eating. Not exactly ideal if you are fasting, right? But one of my goals for this fast was to break my mind’s attachment to food. So far I can’t say that has happened, more so the monkey mind just gets annoyed and throws things, but hopefully it will break.
Another one, today I was planning on visiting some friends. They didn’t want me to because they felt the driving was too bad because of the snow storm predicted today. I’m a very experienced snow driver, and it really wasn’t that bad out, but I honored their wishes. Boo, right? Nope, got some more Swami tour work done that produced results and did some EFT to clear some negative beliefs. Been meaning to do some clearing, but was always remembering while in the middle of something else.
Anyway, didn’t loss any weight. I woke up thinking I was chewing bubble gum, had the taste in my mouth. I haven’t had any bubble gum in years. I was a little cold today, but not as bad as other days. I have been really thirsty again.
My colon has been cramping today. Feels like there might be stuff I need to pass, but nada. Still a little gassy too.
Hunger pangs have continued. Please go away? But all the food exposure must not be helping. It definitely isn’t helping the food, they aren’t exactly cravings, sometimes… but it is usually more just thinking about food. At times I have really been thinking I’d like to stop and just eat!! Also, have been watching a little TV, ugh… not good on a fast because it exposes you to more food too. When I see people just piggy out, it really makes me wish I had a perfectly healthy body and could eat whatever I wanted without consequences. Wouldn’t that be heaven? I still have an attachment to food. I WANT FOOD!
Was experiencing a bunch of boredom today, but that could be explained by having wanted to get out of the house and having put in a lot of working on Swami’s Tour. Still got the white tongue, might be a bit less today. Not entirely sure.
Finished the day with a soak in the tub with epsom salt and lavender.
Activities: ~40 minutes pranayamas, guided meditation, and 1 hour meditation.

Day 7 of the Fast
Day 7
Interesting day. The first 6 days of the fast I only drank a little more than 2 gallons of water, today I went through almost a gallon. Was really thirsty most of the day. They say on a water fast to only drink when thirsty. Didn’t seem like I had as much fluid coming out as I had coming in either, which is the opposite of some days. Also dropped two pounds to 145 today.
Can pretty much “blame” the advanced yoga class on that one, and I don’t know if I’ll be doing that or anymore classes while on this fast. My right hamstring definitely feels like it was strained a little. It was worse earlier in the day, so hopefully not too badly. I was sore too, but in a more painfully bad than good way. Something to monitor and see if the body feels up for another class at some point, but I don’t want to increase the weight loss either.
Got to bed at an earlier time which I liked. Read for about an hour and got to sleep fairly well, woke up after about an hour, then believe I slept with no waking till 8:30 am and decided to get up then. Body temp was 95.5, yikes! But it went up as the day went on.
Hunger pangs seemed a little stronger today, but still tolerable, still got the white coat on my tongue, and still some gassiness. Showering got me tired again, and I’ve noticed my calves seem to hurt/cramp while showering. Very odd.
Emotionally I was fine today, universe was trying to stress me, but I didn’t let it get to me... too much. Still craving and thinking about food. Today’s item that got the most thought was avocado and potato all mashed up together with some spices, no salt. No idea how it would work, but right now it sounds like heaven. Think it would be really healthy too.
Today I thought I’d be able to get a lot of stuff done, did… but not all the things I had hoped too. Stuff kept coming up that needed attention, had an errand I had to run take a lot more time than expected. Wasn’t trying to judge it, but still… c’mon universe! A bunch of that ate in to time I would have spent working on Swami’s tour.
I think that’s about it. Today felt a bit bumper, but made it through it and still going strong.
Activities: ~40 minutes pranayamas, guided meditation.
Said today had a lot of other stuff come up!

Day 6 of the Fast
Day 6
I’ve read about someone else’s account on water fasting, and for him the fast slowed time down and there was a lot of boredom. My non-water fast felt the same way, boredom wise. This fast, really haven’t seen any of that. Actually, it feels like time is going faster. There are things I plan to get done, and it just seems like I run out of time. I do have poor time management, I have to admit, but still it is really odd. It’s like, gaw.. it’s this time now?! Also helps the boredom that I have been out of the house and doing something almost every day. Can’t be bored, when out!
Last night, still got to bed later than I wanted, but earlier than I had the past two nights. Took me about 2 hours to fall asleep. Got up, umm.. I think it was around noon? Don’t entirely remember. Wanted to be up sooner, but think I got about 7 hours of sleep. It can be hard for me to get up in the mornings (relatively speaking), if I don’t have somewhere to go. On the fast, that seems to be worse, but that does make sense.
I was feeling cold again today. Not freezing, but definitely cold. My weight was 147 again, so no pounds lost. I was feeling some more weakness/tiredness today than the past three days. Started during my shower and continued for a while. Took an advance yoga class, and I was really feeling it. Winding much quicker, in some poses I normally don’t get winded in. At one point during one I was starting to feel all tingly. Slight bit of stars too. Quite the new experience. Also felt some nausea during class. Afterward, wow.. felt real tired. Chest wasn’t feeling well either (this happened during too), but I believe that was due to my heart chakra and lungs a little. The heart itself, I believe is fine, besides my pulse seeming to be a little faster than usual.
Still thinking about food. Was thinking about french fries dipped in ketchup while trying to sleep. I would love some Indian food! Heck.. give me some plain rise. I could go on and on. Need to try and keep the mind focused off food. Potato chips!!!!
I would say everything is going well, and while I was thinking the advanced yoga class might use up my fuel reserves, my body is now indicating it can go longer. Definitely won’t complain about that. Not having to spend time cooking/eating is actually quite nice. Saves money too.
Edit: Forgot to mention, wrist, knees, and neck still feeling some pain. My hamstrings, while I didn't overstretch them seemed to be a bit upset about taking class. Also been forgetting to mention, so have a white coating on my tongue, which is supposed to be detoxing, no idea if I also have bad breath from it.
Activities: ~40 minutes pranayamas, the Five Tibetan Rites, guided meditation, and advanced yoga class.
Didn’t get the meditation in, like I wanted, but I plan to get to bed sooner tonight to read. Besides, the advance class took a lot out of me and yoga can be seen as a form of meditation.

Day 5 of the Fast
Day 5
I noticed something amazing today. I had surgery on my left elbow in 97, I believe. Left this big lump of scar tissue on my lower forearm. Today the lump is a lot smaller now. Seems my body is using it as fuel. As I read while water fasting, the body goes to using fat and unneeded tissue to sustain itself.
Today I weighed in at 147 pounds. Down 3, but I felt kind of thirsty before going to bed. I don't like drinking before bed, since it means having to get up to urinate during the night. So.. maybe a tad dehydrated. Weight went up after drinking some water. But I stick with the morning weight, to try and keep the measures at the same time.
I didn’t really remember feeling tired today. Maybe a little bit, maybe some weakness, but really well in that area. I did get to bed a bit too late again, slept longer and better. Still woke up some, but that can be “normal” for me too. Might have gotten 8 hours of sleep total.
Was feeling cold today. Not too bad, but definitely was trying to keep myself bundled up. No real moments of feeling hot. Emotionally, pretty darn good too. Still thinking about food at times. Some hunger pangs too.
Actually had a good amount of stool pass around 6 pm. That surprised me. Can’t image it is from when I last ate, so hopefully it is the body de-toxing and cleaning out. Was feeling a bit like I was having a healing crisis too, colon was feeling a bit crampy and unhappy at times. Also a bit gassy, some burping, and.. other.
Did some conscious movement with the wonderful Ali. Some yoga, the Five Tibetan Rites, dancing, meditation, and pranayamas. I was feeling a little “drained” when I got there, but once we started moving I was fine. Didn’t feel a lack of energy at all. Was a great time. Although there was food being cooked in the kitchen and it smelled so good. Every inhale I was getting it, and it was making the monkey mind really rattle its cage. But I didn’t let the effect my great time.
My wrists and neck, still bothering me a bit. Knees too, they are still the worst out of the three.
Activities: ~25 minutes meditation, ~40 minutes pranayamas, the Five Tibetan Rites, guided meditation, the conscious movement (Some yoga, the Five Tibetan Rites, dancing, meditation, and pranayamas which aren’t included in the above), and another guided meditation followed by ~25 minutes of meditation.

Day 4 of the Fast
Day 4
The extreme weight loss has happily stopped, only 150 now. 1 pound, but since I don’t have decimals on my scale, could have been a half a pound.
Got to sleep at 3 am the night before, got up at 10 am. At the most I had 6 hours of sleep during that time, waking up a bunch of times. Could have been less, but didn’t feel like I missed out on any sleep. I really didn’t feel tired or weak during the day, besides some minor points after waking. I had planned to do my pranayamas and 1 hour meditation before I went out to an emotional clearing workshop at 1 pm, but I was so enjoying being curled up on the couch I only did the pranayamas. Meditation was done later in the day.
After the workshop I went to a psychic fair. Spent some time there. So fairly active day, but didn’t feel draining at all.
I did feel some moments of heat during the day. No real cold moments. Still having some minor hunger pangs, but not as bad and they don’t last too long. I really haven’t been light headed or had a headache during this experience either, maybe some very mild ones from time to time.
Still some pain in the wrists and neck, but maybe a little less than normal. Knees seem to be a little less too, definitely less than how they had been feeling.
Overall, I would say I’m doing really well. I think my body has balanced to the lack of food and entered ketosis.
As for the mental side, I’d say that is going well too. I do think about food at times, sometimes reaching an, “omg, I would kill for this,” but those aren’t too often. Mmm.. watermelon.. gimme damnit! Usually happens more when something reminds me of food. Big Macs.. mmm.. eww! Emotionally, I haven’t noticed much releasing. I thought I’d have more of that happening, but not judging or expecting anything. Although I have been involved in activities that help release too, and why complain when the releasing is done positively and doesn’t have you feeling awful?
Did use another enema in the evening. Felt needed, moved a little.
Oh, and fasting highs totally rock!
Activities: ~40 minutes of pranayamas and 1 hour meditation.
Yeah, I got lazy today, but not judging myself.
