I didn’t blog yesterday cause I was busy all day and didn’t manage to get the time to sit down at the computer.

Today is the end of day 8 and still going strong. Only 2 days to go. This morning I weighted 9st 6, that’s a loss of 10lbs. My clothes are very lose and I haven’t been this weight since I was about 19. I’m going to be very upset putting it back on after the fast.

Yesterday was very difficult with the cravings. I took the kids to Macdonald’s drive through for an ice cream and got them a Caramel Deluxe MacFlurry each. I was drooling. It has taken every bit of my willpower to stick to this.

Today has been quite easy. I was very tired and achy this morning when i woke up but was feeling fine after 3 glasses of lemonade. I then went out for the afternoon and didn’t take any lemonade with me. By the time I got home, my joints were aching, my muscles were aching and I could hardly keep my eyes open. I struggled to walk up the stairs. After 2 glasses of lemonade, I was right as rain and got on with all the housework. I don’t know how people manage on a water only fast.

I have still got the cold and cough, it does seem a bit better but it would probably be like this if I wasn’t on the fast, so I don’t think the fast has made any difference to my ability to fight off infections.

My tongue is white. It cleared up on day 6 and was completely pink and for some strange reason, has turned white again. Hopefully it’ll clear again before day 10. Can’t wait to eat solid food again.
