I slept in today because I could. This is day 3 of my 7 day “water fast” and today is the beginning of my weekend so I now have 2 days off. YAY!
This morning I weighed myself on my scale and it said 171 lbs.
Yesterday at work I experienced many times that I wanted to eat something because I am literally surrounded by food all day as I work in a health-food grocery store.
I just kept drinking lots of water. I drank a lot of bottled sparkling water because it was more fun than just plain flat water. But still it was just water. No additives and no flavoring.
I was feeling very tired yesterday. My body is feeling sluggish like I’m moving through molasses, but at the same time I am feeling lighter.
I am feeling spacey (lightheaded) but I am also feeling much better than I was before I began this fast. My caffeine withdrawal headaches only lasted 1 day, which is pretty great because I expected them to last 2 or 3 days.
I’m very glad that I have a few days off because now I can rest. Around 5am this morning I got up and soaked in a nice tub of hot water. It was very enjoyable and relaxing.
When I am fasting I like to do the occasional soak in hot water. I feel it helps to cleanse my system because it makes my body sweat. If I had a sauna I would use that, but I don’t.
Also I will do a “salt water flush” today.
What's that?
A salt water flush is 2 tsp of sea salt mixed into 32 ounces of hot water, which I will drink all at once straight down.
Because of the ratio of salt to water, it works as a laxative to flush out any waste products that are just sitting in my bowels and intestines. This procedure will wash those toxins away and prevent headaches and nausea that can occur if they are not removed.
It makes very good sense to me that they should be removed so that they are not affecting my system in any negative ways.
Today I will again soak in a nice hot relaxing tub of water. But I think before I do any of that I will go to the store where I work and buy some more sparkling water! :-)
Yes I find that during a “water fast” I am very much more sensitive emotionally and I have to remind myself of this throughout the course of the day, so I do not overreact to people and the different situations, comments, stresses, etc.
Okay I guess that’s all for now!
