Water Fasting - Day 14!!!!!

Ahhhhh, I am ending my day by breaking the fast. I juiced some oranges and now I am enjoying the bright, sweet flavors dancing on my tongue and all the fun gurgly noises the juice is making on the way down. I feel halfway normal again. The live juice is bringing me back to life in a sense. It feels great!

I figure I'll finish off the rest of the fresh OJ tonight and then tomorrow wake up with some melons. I'll let some time go by then I'll make a berry banana smoothie with freshly juiced apples and grapes to sweeten it. Later on in the afternoon I'll juice a tomato/celery/cucumber cocktail and add just a pinch of sea salt. The world is my oyster after that.

I made it. I can't believe it but I made it! I had a long day of shopping with my mom and grandma and I still made it thru. It's been an incredible journey and I am so proud of myself for

finding the strength to finish.

Mmm, a nice hot cup of sleepy time tea. The subtle flavors I would've taken for granted 2 weeks ago but tonight they are complex and exotic.

I am off to get comfy and drift off. I will update in days to come on how I am doing after the fast!

Love and light,

Kai

Water Fasting - Day 13

Verrrryyyy weak today. I can tell my body is ready to be done with this fast. Just one more day. The only thing I am a little nervous about is - tomorrow, my last day of fasting, is going to be filled with a day of visiting my Grandma who lives an hour and a half away and then proceeding to hop from store to store shopping ALL day. I hope I have the strength.

My weakness seems worse at night. I actually got very dizzy when I stood up too quickly this evening and that is the first time this has happened the entire time I've been fasting. It is totally normal from what I've read, but it is definitely uncomfortable.

This time tomorrow night, I'll be sipping freshly juiced oranges and life will be sweet. This is all for now - MUST SLEEP!

Love and light,

Kai

Water Fasting - Day 12

I came so close to breaking the fast tonight. All that stopped me was the lack of energy it would've required to get the juicer out and prep the fruits. The TV is an evil, tempting tool. Every other second it's food and drink. I think I may have to steer clear of the tube for the next 2 days or even longer until I am back on some solid foods.

For most of the day I still felt a little wiped out from yesterday. It might seem strange to be so pooped after just a day of shopping but clearly if one hasn't eaten in 12 days, it's understandable. Tomorrow I've got several appointments. I'm looking forward to seeing people and being out and about, but I just hope my energy holds up. Who knows? Tomorrow I could have a spring in my step and be bounding around like a 5 year old (doubtful). That is how this fast has been so far. Energy up, energy down, energy up, down, all around, etc....

Two more days, two more days. I know I can make it two more days! I sure am looking forward to the brown rice and black beans I am going to be eating after a few days of breaking the fast. I might even eat an egg! Oooooo!

Avocados.

Love and light,

Water Fasting - Day 11

Holy crap day 11 is almost over and WTF!!!! I am so excited to start eating again. I did a lot of running around today - shopping and whatnot and I held up pretty well! Tired tonight, though.

I am gonna make this short. I bought all the foods I am gonna be eating when I break my fast. A bag of apples and a bag of oranges for juicing, melons, berries, bananas etc. Then for veggies I got the varieties I don't mind eating raw without any dip. Snow peas, bell peppers, celery. I also got some tomatos for juicing and I've already got a ton of carrots for juicing as well. I'll be eating some cooked vegetables on day 3 or 4 after breaking my fast.

This blog is all over the place because quite frankly my brain is all over the place today. I don't know why. Supposedly when you fast your mind is supposed to be clear and sharp. I feel I can multitask rather well tonight, but really I just need to settle down and get some rest.

So that is what I will do now. Better blog tomorrow! hahaha!

Love and light,

Kai

Water Fasting - Day 10

Ah, day 10 has come to a close at last. It was a long, hard day. I didn't feel like doing anything, but I still managed to get some organizing done for my trip.

I was thinking a lot about eating today. Not necessarily eating something RIGHT NOW, but what kinds of things I'm going to enjoy when I break the fast. I'm going to start with freshly juiced fruits then some whole fruits, moving on to some cooked vegetables and then introduce some proteins like nuts and seeds. All these things sound so delicious to me I can barely stand it!

Watched Michael Jackson's 'This is It' documentary tonight. What a talent. Sad he's gone.

4 more days. I need to find inner strength. It's the last stretch of the race. I know I can win!!!!

Love and Light!

Water Fasting - day 9

What an exhausting day! My spirits were high but my body was like WTF! I did some chores and went for a short walk and by the time I was done I was BEAT. In need of a good night's sleep, but I am having some tenderness on the pressure points that I usually sleep on, i.e. my hips, knees, ribs, chest. I don't know if this is because I lie around on them too much or what, but I am going to look on some forums to see if I can find any answers.

Not really craving too much food today. Oh, but I did have a hankering for tea and cake when I was talking with a friend earlier about Withnail and I. What a fun movie!

Ah, the weekend is coming up. I hope I have enough energy to do something besides lying around, watching movies. 5 more days. I can do this!

Not much else to report as far as my water fasting goes. I watched The Men Who Stare at Goats and Good Hair with Mom this evening. Those were both cool movies!

Gotta go shopping this weekend for some last minute items for my big trip! Only 11 days away now! Getting all nervous and excited. Woo hoo!

Day 10 here we come!

Love & light,

Water Fasting - Day 8

Today was a good day. I actually got out and saw some people, cruised around town for a while on a bright sunny day - it wasn't bad at all.

I don't feel like I'm fasting. In fact, sometimes I forget. I was quickly reminded, though, when I went over to Mom's house earlier and she had baked a pineapple upside down cake. Oh that sweet aroma nearly floored me. Such a beautiful scent! Mom rushed over and said she meant to hide it before I came over, but I said "no, it's ok," lowered my face towards the cake and had a nice whiff of it's deliciousness. The sense of smell is a major part of eating, and it was a nice treat for me to experience that. It may sound like torture but it truly was divine.

I am sleepy tonight, so I'll make this short. The only discomfort I am feeling is what seems to be some gas pressure in my lower gut. Maybe we'll get that cleared out soon, huh? All part of the process.

Love and Light,

Kai
