7 Day Water Fast – Day 5
9:45am. This is day 5 of my water fast. When I weighed myself a few minutes ago my weight was 167.5
I'm sitting here drinking my hot water and in just a few minutes I will take a shower to get ready to leave for work.
Everything is going smoothly but I have been able to rest these last 2 days because of my weekend and I am definitely not looking forward to going back to work today. Oh well...
Last night was rough because my back was hurting again (sacrum area) and I couldn't get comfortable, etc., so I didn't get much sleep. Maybe I got 3 hours of sleep. Not helpful.
My back is feeling okay right now, so that's good.
I am wondering if the periodic discomfort is related to so kind of detoxification of my system. Probably is.
Actually I am feeling much better than I was before starting this fast. There are feelings of discomfort that I was experiencing before this fast that have vanished. I expected they would and that is good.
Also it's certainly very good to be giving my adrenals a rest from being constantly assaulted with caffeine.
I really should do somewhere around 30 days of water fast and not just 7 to achieve maximum results but because I must go to work, I cannot at this time do that. Someday when I have more money, more time, and more leisure, I will do that.
I have not ever done a fast for that extended period of time. I once back in 2001 did a 3 week water fast and it was very beneficial for my health but it was also hard in that I felt so tired.
I was working as a massage therapist at the time in an environment that supported my fasting but it really became difficult for me because of the lack of energy I was experiencing.
While massaging clients on the massage table, I felt that I wanted to climb up on the table and take a nap. That made it hard but it was probably an effect of my body detoxing. I probably should have gone longer on that fast but since I had to continue to work I decided to end it after 21 days.
Also I learned a good lesson when I ended that fast because I did not end it slowly enough. Yes I knew better from all the reading I had done but I thought it would be okay anyway.
It wasn't. I didn't eat very much and it was only some salad at a banquet but it was still too much and my digestive system suffered for a long time after that. You really have to take the idea of breaking a fast slowly and properly, very seriously! :-)
Especially an extended fast. Not such a big deal if you only fast for 1 or 2 days but beyond that be careful...
Okay that's it for now! I better get to the shower and get ready to leave for work.
It should be interesting to see how my experience at work today goes...
& support!
Stay tuned for more updates! :-)
