I am back, and a bit confused

[Guest guest]

Hello, I am back. I took a bit of time off and am in the process of completing

a fast. I broke it May 8th I believe it was. I made it 29 days, and ended it,

because I was emotionally having some issues. I have 4 grown children, and

there was some major health issues with one, and another got his orders for a

tour in Kwait. Those two things put me in a space where I wanted to get back

into the world again. I had an easy easy time, with very few issues. I was,

and still am well taken care of, had a peaceful though busy area. I think, no,

I know that I personally was too active. Where I should have spent more time

laying down quitely, I brought my laptop, watched movies, took an online class,

and kept up with some communication. That all was a mistake. I found it

diffficult to read, so didn't do a whole lot of that later on in the fast. I

had more energy than I expected, my mind was clear of course, there was little

offfensive body odor, and I had kept up w/

spongebaths every 3 days or so. I sunbathed, on the nice days in the morning

sun for half an hour or so. I kept up w/ the water, with a minimum of 1/2

gallon a day, slowing down a bit towards the end. I think the mouth was so

offensive it made the water taste like crap. My urine never turned dark, and I

did not go through the fat in the stomach. I got it just about every where

else. There is a lot more I can share about the experience, and the mini mild

crisis issues that I had. Over all it was a very, almost too easy experience.

I was...and still am.. very blessed.

 

I did prepare, in that I was oh I would say 95% raw for 7 months prior, 2 weeks

before I did a salad fast, basically dark greens, then the week before, I

juiced. (Now that!! was harder than the water fast)

 

I have to say, I am disappointed with myself, for stopping as early as I did. I

did not allow natural hunger to dictate the true end. I feel I could have

comfortably and safely gone another week or 10 days. I not only sailed through

the fast, but came out just as easily. I did end with a week of spooning

diluted fresh squeezed orange juice, watermelon juice, and finally to carrot or

carrot combo. Mother's day I had my first meal of watermelon, and stayed on

fruit 3 days. The fruit was, oranges, watermelon, apples and bananas. I had

planned on fruit for a week, but started salad greens early, and added lemon

juice as dressing. Then the cat was out of the bag and all heck broke loose.

Though I am and have been 100% , I am not high raw. Yesterday's salad had a

homemade salsa for dressing, I have started munching on nuts, and did make a

dressing containing sunflower seeds, , Made some garden burgers out of the

carrot pulp, but that is about it. Some olive oil, a

tad of celtic, but mostly greens, a little avacado, veggies and fruit. Last

night I started chlorella, and today I have a headache, which is either, dome

detox starting, or lack of sleep..

 

Now, I lost 21 lbs, and in a week, have put 11 of it back on. (Started at 142

lbs. 5'4 " , 51 years young) I am not sure what is going on. I am watching the

bowels, and I did not have carrot juice for a day, and the poop was still

orange. Some are floaters, and some are sinkers, which leads me to believe the

colon is still cleaning. ( I was disappointed at the amount of expelling the

colon did immediately after the fast ended, very little white tissue, and very

little bulk over all total) I am retaining water, my stomach is extended, and I

have filled out all over my body.) I guess my main question is why am I putting

on the weight so quickly? I look like a am 5 months pregnant.

 

 

Example of diet: 2 apples, banana, 2 large salads w/ home made dressing,

watermelon slice, qt minimum of water, handful nuts, perhaps couple of garden

burgers I make(I them from, carrot, an onion, walnuts or maybe some flax or

whatever I have and they are all raw, some fresh spices, and lemon juice, fresh

squeezed. then dehydrated somewhat)

 

Exercise: Still building, but last night did some dancing with the family

 

Sleep: Could use more

 

Acidity of both saliva and urine is 6.4, heart rate 67 . I journaled every day.

 

The purpose of the fast was to eliminate as many toxins as possible from the

body, mainly fat stored accumulations. I used to have MS, and I was on cytoxin

and solumedrol infusions monthly for the past 4 years, weekly interfearon

injections for 5 years prior and in combination with the hospital visits, and

was on 11 different oral medications for the past 7 years. I just wanted all

that junk out of my body. A secondary purpose would have been for the body to

heal, or begin healing of the remaining scaring to the brain and mylan sheath.

 

 

Any thought or experiences of what I am doing that is not quite right or that I

may still be in the process of doing? ( Pleeze don't say cut out my burgers!! I

can handle almost anything but that.. LOL)

 

Peace and Love, Jeanie
