Well, here I am, nearing the end of the workday for Day 6, and I’m doing quite well today. The cravings are virtually non-existent. There was some food I thought about today, for about 30 seconds, but nothing much, really. In fact, I’m only halfway through my flask of lemonade, because I simply have not been hungry.
Last night’s jog was so great. Aimee and I started our stretches at exactly 6pm (18:00) and 15 minutes later we were at the park doing the jog. Twenty minutes went by sooooooooooo quick, it was amazing. We were surprised that the workout was over when it was. It’s funny, given both our prior experiences with running, that we were both looking forward to last night’s jog. Some of our muscles were sore from Sunday, but a little stretching and we were both doing great. In fact, the first 60 second jog bled into a 75 second jog, because I lost track of time.
So, on our way upstairs, I could smell the cooking from next door. Aimee said it smelled like burgers, I think it smelled like boiling chicken. Here’s the thing though, to me the smell was exactly the opposite of appetising. I felt kinda sick from that smell. I guess it’s a good thing I’m vegetarian, otherwise I’d be in big trouble. Then again, I don’t think I’ve ever really enjoyed that smell. Aimee steamed some broccoli as part of her dinner, and wouldn’t you know it, that had my mouth watering.
Anyway, today was pretty much the same as usual with the morning routine (salt water flush, a glass of lemonade for breakfast, 3 glasses in a flask for the day). Oh yeah, my tongue, in the back of it, is white. Like white. It’s expected, but it’s eerie. I thought it was going to happen on Day 3 or 4, so I’m really surprised. I hope it goes away by Day 9 so I can get off this fast and onto the liver/gallbladder flushing regimen. That one features apple juice and fruit and light food, I think, so at least I’m back to eating (salads and fruits and soups and fruit salads at least I think).
See what happened on Day 5.
See what will happen on Day 7
Edit: Day 5, not Day 4, was yesterday. Navigation to day 7.
