The superbowl fast bet

[PATH301]

I Took the challenge of a bet with misslinda and swishtn, that if the the sea hawks lost the superbowl I'd do a 5 day juice fast. So Sea Hawks lost, and I started my juice fast on friday the 10th - day 1. Today's the 5th day. I've lost 4 lbs so far and I've only bm twice. Still feel real good. Other than a running nose on sunday but it cleared up. And three cracked tips of my fingers, ( maybe not getting enough water or oils?).
I have'nt experienced any real detox. So I'm going to continue my juice fast for another 5 days and see how it goes with any more detox. I know my body got some old junk in it for all the years I eat bad.

Cool beans!

OOPS! I had a smoothie today........I forgot Path!!!!!!!! I will revert to juices tomorrow and add another day.

Yeah, the cracked fingers are form dehydration usually by the fifth day of fasting is when the body is 80% toxins. Do you do detox baths?

You're a TROOOPER :)

[PATH301]

Detox bath ahh no - not sure what it means?

juice fast day five
lips today chaped/ right hand one finger tip cracked and ouchy, left hand one finger the same.

interesting note: usually this time of year all my fingers would be dry and cracked near edges of finger nail and skin. This first time it's not

I do the natural brush exfoliation of the skin. once a day, prior to the shower.

breakfast : 1 organic apple/ 1 organic kiwi/ 1 mango = 12 oz of juice :)
spring water in between
Lunch: dandelion stalk and leaves/ sugarsnaps/2 organic carrots/ cabbage/ 1 table spoon of extra virgin olive oil = 8 oz

mid afternoon snack of mango juice = 4oz

Dinner was interesting, I went out to eat with some friends of mine at the cheeseburger palace. They all had the SAD ITEMS and I had grapefruit juice, ( fresh squeezed) and water and lemons,(5- 1/4 slices) squeezed into the water.

I've drunk a gallon of water today easily.
Went number one alot - no bm?

[misslinda]

PaTH, DONT' BE SUPRISED IF YOUR BOWELS CEASE.

you consuming oil while fasting?

oil = fat
fat=digesting
digesting=not fasting

kipish?

[PATH301]

I had 1 tablespoon only and only today at lunch, so I'll X it out :)

[PATH301]

I woke up this morning feeling great. Have lots of energy :)
went down one more pound
had 1 bm.

Had 8 oz sw.

have'nt juiced yet.

Last night when I went out with some friends, one when I got out of the vehicle I became really light headed and dizzy.

looking forward to a great day :)

[misslinda]

Path, take it easy even if you do feel alright.

Detox baths are great to add circulation and drawing out toxins.

In case you are interested in doing a detox bath..........personally, I use epsom salts,mustard see powder is a powerful detoxifier, and essential oils.

Go easy on the workouts cuz the blood pressure lowers on fasting...dont want to see you pass out etc-seriously

[PATH301]

I'm glad you told me that now, I almost past out twice yesterday. my fitness instructor was wandering what's going on!

[misslinda]

actually best suggestion is not to workout. rest and do airy walks --breathing and allow the body to put all it's energy towards cleansing,healing and repairing.

PLEASE don't hurt yourself while fasting !!!!!!!!!

[PATH301]

I've had about 40 oz of spring water today

breakfast - mango/ orange juiced 8 oz

lunch - I juiced dandelion stalk and leaves/1 cucumber/2 organic carrots/4or 5 brussel sprouts. 12 oz

Dinner - sugarsnaps/ cabbage/danelion stalks and leaves 12 oz

I took your advice and didn't work out today other than quickly running upthe stairs about 20 times today to got the kitchen.

I felt a little nausa/ like I was going to throw up, but it passed after an hour or so. I have 6 fingers cracked at the tips and painful, even worse now trying to type :)
Had some runny mucus couple times today. Right hand gets cold for some reason. Left hand warm. After I had my dinner about an 30 to 45 minutes later my right hand warmed up - weird.

day #8 fri 2-17-06
couldn't post last night so here:

I drank more water today than juices
I had papya juice,( had to do extra straining for this this fruits pulp) I mixed it with 50% spring water.

For dinner had 8 oz glass of my good ole dadelion stalks and leaves/ organic cabbage/ organic carrots/ garlic clove -( eventual I'll get tired of this mixture, just hasn't happened yet :) )

I was able to chest and arm workout - had alot of energy

Did exfoliation before shower, at night before bed - twice a day.

It seems for some reason, during this fast that my right hand gets icy cold, as if my blood is not circulating over there? Anybody have any suggestion?
