Day 6 and 7, and the Ease Out.

I know I get distracted when updating this blog... sorry about that.

Day 6 and 7 went by without a hitch.  I was rested, and just went about my business as usual.  Really, I could have kept going with the fast, but felt 7 days was good for my first try.  On day 6 I did have a BM that was dark, tar-like, and stinky to high heaven.  Again, the fact I'm still expelling waste on day 6.  Amazing.

Then for the ease out.  The first day, I went to the store and got tomato /veggie juice like V8, only without sodium.   Some other mixed fruit juices, and an Odwalla.  Man that stuff was so good.  That V8 was like an entire meal!!  So good, I couldn't get enough.  I almost drank the whole thing in one sitting.
But felt great.

Then on the 2nd day of the east out, I ate fruit, and went to the Hummus Place, and pigged out!!  OMG it was soo good I was so full!  awesome.

So now here it is day 3 post Fast.  I feel great, and have been eating healthy, low sodium foods.  I've effectively eliminated caffeine from my diet, as well as soda!  I'll miss coffee, but think not having caffeine will be a good thing in the end.

All in all I had a successful fast.  I will not recommend it to anyone, and I did not enjoy it per-say.  But I did it, and the end result was dropping 30 lbs!!   As well as a new appreciation for food!

I don't want to look at lemonade again for awhile.  I guess I'll make this an annual thing..  we'll see how it works out.  I'll consider doing it again in the spring. and annually every spring past.

I got out of it what I wanted.  A) to see if I could, and B) to detox my digestive tract.
But I did take away some things from the whole experience like the new found love for cooking, and healthy food in general.  So all in all, it was a good thing.
