Day 5: Just a Spoonful of Sugar

I cheated this morning with the salt flush. I didn't want to feel like I was in complete suffering again this morning. I had a couple spoonfuls of maple syrup to get the salt taste out of my mouth this morning. It really helped me tolerate it, I hope it was ok to do.

Other than that, waking up this morning was a beautiful process. I naturally woke up right before my alarm (set for 4:45am). I didn't feel any nausea this morning and I haven't had a headache all day. I have felt no need for coffee for the past 2 mornings. And today I feel completely awake and happy.

I've been feeling wonderful today. Even with coworkers in the office eating lovely smelling bread I'm not having any real cravings for food of any sort. (I know the bread isn't that great anyway, it's gluten free. Ew.) It is interesting that the most beautiful smell in the world to me right now is bread. I look forward to visiting a bakery and enjoying some hot bread with butter after this fast. It does feel good to know that I'm doing something so good for my body. I feel pretty energized and mentally very aware. I can't believe that this is day 5.

Last night I had a beautiful night honoring those who have passed. I lit all of my candles and cleaned a space where I could write. It felt good.


Somewhere in Time will be here tomorrow. I can't wait!



Today was simply amazing. The only way to describe how I feel is bliss. I got so much done at work effortlessly today and had plenty of time to really touch base with my coworkers. It always feels good to get connected to the people I work with. I'm a little worried about my organic lemon supply. The price of lemons went up from .69 to .79 which is a little annoying. And on top of that I got the last of what they had there this evening. I guess I'll have to make a Reno run for lemons.

We also have to have a serious discussion about my mouth. The taste in my mouth last night was awful. It tasted like medicine chemicals. It was absolutely disgusting. It's amazing what must be getting purged out of my body right now. Today the taste is less mediciney but still chemically. Ew.
