Day 4 of Water Fast

Day 4 of my water fast and I'm delighted. I'm down 2.8 pounds from yesterday for a total of 9 pounds since the beginning of the fast.

I stayed up too late last night reading about all sorts of health things on the web. I wanted to sleep but I decided to bathe first and use a loofah well on my body to help eradicate anything my skin is detoxing. I slept very well though I did wake up a bit slow this morning.

I particularly like the new changes to FitDay.com because now for my weight it has a graph showing the loss and right now mine is looking like an alpine ski slope! On the foods section it remembers the quantity of things you have rather than having to redo them each entry.

Many people feel they must conform to what others believe when it comes to fasting and though I am on a water fast, I do add a squeeze of fresh lime to the water and I am taking 2 tsps of raw apple cider vinegar twice a day. I am very conscientious about listening to my body. I am also having a couple cups of green tea during the day - particularly later in the day as that's when I typically get hungry.

I saw on Yogi Tea's website last night that they have a Fasting tea and I need to stop by Whole Foods to pick up some coconut oil and stevia so I'm going to see if they have that particular blend in stock. I know they carry the line but they don't carry all the blends. The tea sounds good:
