Ahhh, what a relief to not wake up starving or to not be able to sleep right while water fasting. Although I love to fast, knowing that I am doing right by my body and giving it a much needed rest, there is no doubt that as good as it feels when one starts the better one feels when it ends.
There are healing crisis one goes through while fasting. I had lots of stomach acid being dumped by my liver while it healed various parts of my body and plenty of old injury aches as it proceeded to heal those. Lynna had a candida rash on her chest which happens when you go into ketosis and the body takes the opportunity to get rid of toxins through its skin. Fasting has great benefits for healing and if you could muster many more days you would be able to get rid of all that ails you.
Anyways we broke the fast with kumbucha a probiotic drink that will start healthy cultures in your gut, followed by a mixture of organic vegetable and fruit juice that was heavenly to say the least. This was all intended to create better digestion.
After an hour we had some fruit organic, honey crisp apples and oranges. It was amazing, new tastebuds to say the least food tasted incredible and the body accepted it with ease.
We danced as we usually do ever evening as part of our evening workout, we had missed it so much since we were unable to get out of bed, and the most trivial movement was a chore.
We ate again at dinner, Lynna made such an amazing salad, and I made the dressing as well as a wonderful homemade vegetable soup. The food turned out amazing and it took us at least an hour to eat. But oh it was so good.
We had a slice of sprouted whole grain bread it never tasted that good before. One of the benefits of fasting is that it renews your senses, its an incredible feeling.
Today we are planning on returning to the gym to begin the rebuilding process. Its feels so good to return to the land of the living. I figure you either give your body a rest willingly or it will force you to by getting sick.
Our bodies feel really rested and good, we will definetly be fasting again 6 months from now, we know that it is the fountain of youth and a tool for healing.
We are looking forward to what lies ahead. We are finally free from the chains that held us and the time for us to fly is now. We plan on a New Years celebration at ou local hangout and to dance the night away bringing in the best New Years ever. In 3 to 6 months from now, I plan to be 135 pounds of pure muscle and to get Lynna in the healthiest and best shape of her life.
Till next time….
Happy New Year to you both welcome back
