Day 4

This time around is interesting. I am not thinking about food as much as I was the last time. Last time I did this for 14 days all I could think about was food. I wasn't hungry, food just looked, smelled and sounded really good. This time, so far, I am not as into food. I keep thinking about water, and started to drink a ton of it today. This makes me feel better, as it makes me think that this time around I am a little less attatched to....I don't know what....something like emotional eating, or that I now need less outside coping. I feel stronger somehow this time around.

Highlights of today...
~No headaches, but still a little tired. Starting to feel the beginning of when my edges get softer (that's the only way I can describe how it feels to be fasting)
~Nothing like a nice coffee retention enema to get things going (yeah, that's right, I said enema)
~A most disgusting discovery of what comes out through your skin when you take a bath in bentonite clay. Water should NOT be that colour after you have a bath. Supposedly it is heavy metals and other such lovely toxins pulled from your body that give the water that nice yellowy brown glow. Sure did make me dirt tired afterwards though, I could barley walk out of the bathroom.

Have decided to include one other cleansing "technique" each day of this fast. Massages, salt baths, dry skin brushing, more clay baths, and yes, more coffee enemas. You know, if your going to do it, you might as well go the whole nine yards.

Master Cleanse: Day 3

14 days of eating nothing but lemon juice, maple syrup and cayenne pepper.
Day 3, 11 more to go....

Progress so far...
~exhausted, making it difficult to do more than watch hours upon hours of the food network and get up to do nothing more than pee and make more "meals"
~Headaches are subsiding; starting with the hunger headache, up the back of your neck into the back of your head; then switching to the detox headaches that go in a band around the front of your head and get progressively worse through out the day
~tongue is totally coated in white gunk, suprisingly a good sign when one is doing a fast, means all that nasty mucus is coming to the surface

Now I am only waiting for ketosis to kick in so that I feel better. In fact I know I will feel better than better, there is eurphoria in my future folks, be sure of that.
