Well, here I am, now officially on my longest fast ever. Seems so easy, now. Yesterday was weird, though, and Saturday, too. It was like I wanted the whole world just to leave me alone. That's really not like me. I'm usually so social. But I just wanted sleep. Maybe my body needed some rest after the workweek. Not like I dig ditches or something for a living. I sit!! How can I be tired?
At any rate, it all kind of came to a head yesterday morning, when I fell down the basement stairs. I wasn't hurt (yet) but I just cried and cried. I didn't want to go to the gathering I had planned, and I didn't want to do anything but crawl back into bed. I had to go, though, but I felt emotionally fragile the whole time. Again, not like me. I'm the rock!
My joints hurt from about noon until I (finally) fell asleep last night, getting worse and worse as the day wore on -- even though I had fallen at about 6:30 am. Getting older, I suppose. I'll go to the chiropracter today, just to get everything all squared away.
I think I'm done with the apple cleansing part of my fast. I have apples through today, then I'm on to lemons. I'll also try to taper off to just water by the end of the week, so I can compete in this weight-loss bet. I will most likely continue the fast even after the weight-in. I'm liking the cleanse of it!
