Monday, July 28th - I need to do a water fast because my skin is filled with acne that I can't seem to be rid of even though I eat a fairly clean diet. My husband has left for a trip, Mercury is RX and this is the perfect time for me to do this. It is likely Candida overgrowth, so I am going to go off sugar during this fast.

I am going to continue drinking 1-cup of black coffee, however. The Caffeine Detox is not something I am ready to tackle right now. Sugar first.

I am also going to supplement the fast with some powdered greens in the morning since it is hot summer here and I don't want my electrolytes to deplete.

I am using this to help me keep up my resolve: - this little tool works wonders for so many things.

I also am NOT telling anyone that I am doing this - for the first time - to not deplete my Will Power.

7pm- I ate an apple this morning so as not to let it go to waste. It is very hard right now - the "hunger" cravings. I have had no sugar so I am hopefully starving the Candida Monster in my gut that demands sugar and has since I was an infant... I have never done this before.

10pm - I am going to drink some Roibus Tea to soothe my hunger cravings. 32 oz.

Total water intake today - 120 oz including the tea and the green drink.

I did use this many times today to fend off the cravings.

Tuesday, July 29th - 9 am - No hunger cravings today, so far. I did not sleep well because I left the cat out and he ran up and down the hall all night, biting my feet and meowing. He is a yearling.

Tonight I will have to put him in his room. My husband is out of town for this fast because it would be much harder to do it while he is here, therefore I am doing things I don't normally do - like leaving the cat out to roam around the house all night.

I had my 1 cup of black coffee...

I had my morning supplements - the Green Drink with a little salt added for elecrolytes and superfood and my "Radiency" a Vaginal Probiotics - which I am trying out to see if they work - nothing so far. I might try those for one more month, since Mercury is RX.

1:30 pm more hunger pangs now - water and the Qi Gong - I am mainly resting through this. Doing some deep house cleaning

2:00 pm making Roibus tea to fool my stomach into believing it's eating something. I have drank 40 oz of water already today. 32 oz again.

6:00 pm I ate 2 lettuce leaves out of my garden.

Water today - about 92 oz. I ate some salt to soothe the cravings

Wednesday, July 30 No cravings yet 1030 am. I am sitting outside waiting for Fed Ex. I had my green drink, salt, coffee and am on my first 32 oz jug of water. I feel different - more in tune with Nature. I started a Botany Study.

1 pm - still no cravings... poop is liquid now and infrequent. I am doing this to clear up acne. I hope it works. Last night I bargained that I would stop today - maybe not. I woke up at 3 am slightly barfing bile - not sure what that's about.

I had to stop early because I have to drive somewhere tonight and work with someone. I was originally intending to do a 7-day fast.

Breaking my fast first with Miso and later with a sweet potato and maybe salmon as per Erica Wood's blog suggestions.
