worked this morning.  Feel sick to stomach.  My tongue is thick white fuzzy.  Back and pelvic pain is extreme.  It's so hard to sleep.  I wish I could just sleep though all of this.  I hoping the fasting helps reduce the inflamation in my brain, especially at olfactory ........

Last night was tuff, terrible pelvic ache and back ache.  I didn't sleep until after 3am.  I go back to work tomorrow, light duty, but I pray I can continue fasting and working a bit.  I have a guilt complex taking time off to do this.  My sinuses are definatly draining, and my s ........

Feeling great and getting lots done at work.  Still somewhat cold outside - wishing it was summer.

I had a concussion Jan. 5th 2010, It severed my nerves for smell and taste.  I still have a lot of swelling in olfactory nerve site, and bruising on front and back of brain.  I have talked with Dr. Fuhrman in New Jersey on whether a water fast would help with inflamation.  Because I a ........

I WISH THERE IS AN AFFORDABLE PLACE FOR ME TO GO FAST AND HAVE SOME KIND OF PEACE. EVERYTHING IS EXPENSIVE. LOOKING TO SEE IF I CAN RENT A COTTAGE SOMEWHERE TO GO FAST. I WISH SOME OF US HERE AS A GROUP CAN COME TOGETHER AND FAST...ENCOURAGING AND SUPPORTING EACH OTHER IN PERSON. I THINK THAT WORKS! ........

please if anyone knows the words of prayer then pray for me at this time.

There are some amazing, and crazy water fasts logged on Utube.  The most helpful was Michele from Yoga yak.  Check it out with a grain of salt. ........

I will being a fast on Sunday, March 7th.  I will go through March 9th, which is the day I turn 39.  I'm hoping I can fast longer -  possibly one whole week.  I always get scared when I try to fast for long periods of time...My fears are that I will either die, or not have any en ........

i was just jotting down my todays thoughts to you guys and my fiance walks in and was reading my blog!!!!!!!!!!

Day 1 and day two success! THIS IS ALL I CAN WRITE FOR NOW...SO BUSY AND WORKING!

Cheated a bit during the weekend...lots of coffee...new month.So gonna count today as day 1 of my liquid fast.

Hello, everyone!   Sadly, last week, I had to abandon the fast. I had the signs and symptoms of a UTI, and it was confirmed, so I have been regrouping and healing from that. Lots of liquids anyway, but I have added cranberry juice to the retinue (organic cranberrry sweetened with pear, not ........

Today Was so tough! I had terrible headache because of coffee withdrawal I think. I had to take some meds...I was so weak today...wow!

Paying close attention to a fast helps you learn a good deal.  Thanks to my keto sticks, I first verified that a small amount of sweetener in a single serving of herbal tea dramatically slows ketosis.  I would have bet money otherwise. ........

A month and half ago I succeeded a 14 day water fast on my own without blogging on here to avoid distractions.It worked, many people were asking to be my fasting buddy but it seemed like some of them were kinda making me fail...I said some of them please not all. I know not everyone had that discipl ........

‘‘They say we sleep to let the demons out—to let the mind go raving mad. . . . And when the daylight comes again . . . comes order with it.’’I remember, years ago, the first time I saw the Albee play, A Delicate Balance. I thought then what a complicated thing adulthood ........

Last day...I am completely astounded that there are people able to waterfast for like 40 days!! That would seriously take a level of transcendance that baffles me. I just have to get through and not go crazy tmrw, but I know my first taste of anything will be delicious. I hope that I keep with me th ........

I always have these high hopes.  It's what keeps me sane, I guess. My current hope is to continue through these next few weeks unscathed. But, sabotage has begun already. It never ceases to astound me how outside influences can truly obscure many good intentions. Or high hopes, if you will ........

It's lovely outside today. Soon the dogs and I will be running to the dog park.  They are as excited as I to get out of the house and on to better things than housework on a Saturday! I need to start planning my weeks better. On the fasting side of life, I am having the oddest craving! I a ........

ok 2 more days to go. I am strangely bloated and have actually gained a pound--I think its because I indulged in carbonated water which I think has salt, making me retain water, I dunno. I am feeling good, not weak, just feel like I need some distractions and food and drink seems to be part of nearl ........

For whatever reason, my head just isn't into this fast.  I'm not hungry but I just don't feel  like fasting.  This is a first for me.  I'll probably keep going, but if I don't, I'll try again Monday. ........

I made it to day 3! yay!  I just came back from an awesome interview so that was very promising!  Again you guys are great!  Thanks for everything.   I was invited to a dinner party tomorrow so not sure how that will pan out.  I want to continue to fast but may have to ........

O.K, am not too hungry today, I actually feel pretty good. Refreshed...And rested for the first time in ages. I have been looking at my body and paying attention to its sounds (tummy growls), sensations, etc--I know that sounds wierd but its something I havent done in awhile. I feel like I am gettin ........

Opps, fell off the wagon last night.   Thanks for all of the kind words of support, but for some unknown reason, wasn't hungry at all, I indulged with a homemade burger last night while making them for my wife.   No problem, off an running again this morning. ........

I thought my tummy issues were over already, for at least a few days. Ugh.I was just musing yesterday on the fact that every fast is so different! You may get the same bodily actions and reactions, but the timing often changes and the severity can as well.  This time around, my body must h ........

Great news on the blood pressure (BP) issue:  BP rises when you sleep and when I was taking my medication (6 am and 6 pm) I always knew when it was time to get up because I would start getting a headache about an hour before pill time but I would have to wait.   No alarm clock unless ........
