This is hard, hard hard! I don't have a lot of energy, yet my body becomes very restless at times, as my abdomen feel odd and the feeling I have as if I am going to be sick, but I don't get sick. It was so bad that I did sleep well. I tossed and turned, as no position felt good or comfortable. It wasn't until around 5 a.m. if the aching and odd pain stop. I know the pain is a detox symptom, as it is cleaning me out. I hate, hate hate it! When I did sleep, it was very early in the morning. I had a horrible dream. I drempt I took a pregnancy and it turned blue immediately. I freaked out and then ate a whole bag of potato chips. After wards, all I could think was “Darn, I ruined my fast!” Then I woke up and realized it was just a dream. I was so relieved. I had planned on taking one last pregnancy test today, as it would be over 30 days, and the hormone would be clear and strong enough to show if I was or not. I took it and it was negative. So I need to stop worry, stressing and obsessing about it. I think this fasting is causing my mind to feel a little off as well. I was at the train tracks, as I was watching the train cars go by, It was making me dizzy and feel a little bit loopy.

Showers helped a little bit, but only temporary. I have been doing body brushing anytime I am in the shower to help with keeping my skin healthy as well as help with the detox process.

Finally around 4 p.m., which Phil and his son were not around, I subjected myself to a warm water enema. Not one that is bought in a store, but the ones that have a water bottle with attachments. I have had it for a while, but I have never used it for a enema. So I got some warm water, filled it up to the top, and placed it to it would flow downward, as I had read.

I laid on my left said, as I read that laying on your left, side, will allow the water to flow quickly into the intestines, due to the curve of it. Immediately, I felt it and I tried to wait for a bit, but I massaged my stomach a little bit on my back, but it was just too much for me. I have to say that I was surprised how much yuckiness came out. No wonder I felt so sick, I had that sitting in me, and I had passed it yet. I took a shower after wards, and I felt 10 times better then I did. I no longer that the fullness feeling/odd feeling. Yet later on that night I felt horrible once again. GAH!

It was late at night, that I fought not to break my fast. I was really craving sardines badly. I know it sounds weird, but when I was very young, my Gram would give me sardines in mustard sauce which I just loved. I still eat them once in a while. Maybe it is my mind clearing out emotions and touching bases with old fond memories. I really wanted them so badly, if I hadn't been feeling so horrible, I might have drove in to town and got me a can. LOL. But I was feeling so ill, I just laid there feeling horrible and thinking about sardines. LOL

I tried to drink more water, but I just wasn't thirsty at all, plus water didn't taste good anymore. I think I am getting bored with it.

I am brushing my teeth and gargling/swishing with mouth wash several times a day, because the nasty taste in my mouth.

Gagging is become common place for me as well, sometimes after I drink water. I think it is my sinuses are still draining. It is clear, as I blow my nose sometimes, but still it makes me gag. During my nightly shower, ended up throwing up in the stall. I think the hot water triggered it. It was foamy mucus. Later on that night, I got sick again and it was greenish, which I think was bile or something. After each time, I felt soooooOooo much better.

During the day when I am up and moving, I am very restless. It is as I need to be constantly moving to deal with all the odd feelings I am having in my body. I think it helps me take my mind off it. My energy level fluctuates, depending how I am feeling and such. I noticed when I am sitting, I always have to have my foot shaking or something. I used to be like that when I was much smaller and weighed less. It is like I am have a lot of pent up energy.

I have decided to buy a Wii this coming Wednesday, November 24 when I get off work. I have done a lot of research, and I think it is perfect game system to keep me moving and releasing my now pent up energy. I can't wait! I have made sure that all my bills for the month are paid, and I still have about 300 left over, which is very rare, so I am going to go for it, as I deserve to treat myself once in a while, since I am the only bread winner/bill payer in the house. Yay for me!
