Here I am, on the penultimate day of this fast. Looking back, it hasn’t felt as long as I thought it would feel. Admittedly, there was a day back there when I thought it would never end. I woke up this morning from the effects of last night’s laxative tea. I woke up in pain from the, well, contractions, I guess. And that is strange, you know, because I haven’t eaten anything, so the only thing it can be is the old waste stuff. So, again with the dark stuff. Not a lot of it, but there it was. Salt water flush went as expected.<\/p>\n
I had to go<\/i> at about 6:30 this morning, then I went back to bed to arise at 8. I did the flush at about 8:15. by 9:30, I was done with it, so I drank some water, hung out, cleaned the house. I had my first glass of lemon juice at 11:30. Since then, I’ve been drinking a glass of it every 75 minutes or so.
\nI’ve also felt like going all day, with nothing there to actually go.<\/p>\n
I’m sorry for the exceedingly graphic nature of this post, by the way. It’s 9:27 in the evening (21:27 for all you hip people) and I’m only now writing, because of how limited this day has been in terms of things happening.<\/p>\n
Tomorrow is the last day of this fast. We’ll be heading out to the grocery stores for apple juice and cold pressed olive oil and grapefruits and, oh yeah, epsom salts. Oh right, lots of fresh fruit and veg. as well, because that’ll be pretty much my diet for the week: a gallon of apple juice a day and fruits\/veg when I’m hungry in between chugging the juice. Will I even be hungry I wonder?<\/p>\n
Well, good night, everyone.<\/p>\n
See how Day 8<\/a> went for me.<\/p>\n Look at my summary in the final day<\/a> of this fast.<\/p>\n Edit: added navigation.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Here I am, on the penultimate day of this fast.
