Water Fasting

Hiya!

As I mentioned before in my previous blog, I have requested the next couple of days off to head off some kind of detoxification process...and after thinking long and hard about where I am at emotionally, mentally and physically, I think it is time. Time to do the water fast I have been wanted to do for so long now. The catch is that I requested the time off to spend some time at the beach as a way to relax, but now that I'm considering a water fast, I'm thinking that being all alone at the beach (miles from anyone I know) isn't such a great idea after all. As I know from previous juice feasting and reading other water fasting experiences, I understand that there are many things that can seem scary and a bit off. I'm not one to get nervous but there is a point where it just downright isn't smart to put myself in a dangerous position. I would feel way more at ease if I was close to home, meditating in a dark room instead. It will still be a relaxing break, and I feel this will be a great experience. I have never done a water fast, and have no clue how my body will react under such deprivation. I'm kind of excited.

So that will start tomorrow! I just wanted to cue you in on my sudden change in plans. Probably no beach. It will be rainy anyways :/. But, not worries, because I feel I will gain a ton from these next couple of days. Depending on how I am feeling, I may keep the blog updated during the process, or just record entries from my journal when it is all over. Either way, you'll be informed eventually about how everything is going.

I will break the water fast with a very diluted juice fast, then full juice feast, then slowly get on energy soups and smoothies, then small salads, etc. Who knows how long it will take, but I hope I will be able to stomach some raw chocolate and durian that will surely be present in abundance at the Raw Union next weekend. We'll see!

Stay hydrated; I know I will!
