Today is day 6 of the water fast. I had a good, sound sleep last night and even hosted a social event at a restaurant but stuck to my water with lime.
I am now down 15.6 pounds and am thrilled. I was aiming to see if the 3 pounds per day was possible and the past couple days I'm averaging 2 pounds per day. Considering most weight loss programs have a person trying to lose 2 pounds per week, I'm already 7 weeks ahead.
This water fast has been so much easier than the first one that was 8 days. By having the new scales and www.FitDay.com making so many wonderful improvements to their site, I am finding many ways to be visually inspired to keep plugging away.
I'm toying with the idea of wondering if I would be able to water fast 20 or 30 days. We shall see. But if my energy levels stay high like they have been, it certainly seems achievable.
Yesterday I went on some massive cleaning kick - detail work like baseboards, etc. Just had lots of energy to expel. Emotionally I am feeling very calm and grounded and at peace. Meditations are averaging 20-30 minutes (I never set a timer - just go with the flow).
I'm grateful that we've had a lot of storms move through and the temps are about 20 degrees lower than they have been so it's been nice to be able to open the windows to the loft and let the fresh air in.
Today my focus is organizing an area where I had placed some boxes fill with various paper stuff. I realized while reviewing one of my feng shui books that that area was my "Helpful People / Travel" section and since I'm awaiting the green light on a project that would have us seriously traveling and I REALLY want this project, naturally I'm pulling that area together. As luck would have it, it's the only area in the loft that needed attention.

Day 2 of Water Fast
Not much to report.
I'm on day 2 and thankfully don't feel as lethargic as I did on day 2 of my first water fast.
Consuming about four 20oz tumblers of water. I do add ice and a squeeze of lime and I know some diehards say that's not true fasting if you add a squeeze of citrus but I do and the lime makes it possible for me to consume water because straight water just does nothing for me - in fact, I can usually taste the plastic in it from the container.
A few food cravings but nothing unmanageable.
I think I'm still retaining water so not much in weight loss but I expect to see some changes tomorrow.

FitDay.com Has Made Changes
I like using www.FitDay.com when I'm water or juice fasting. As I began another water fast to day with the desire to break my 8-day record, I checked into my FitDay account - WOW! I love the new changes they've done to the site.
So much more interactivity and being able to track even your moods, BMI, etc.
I've got the free account and if you don't have one, you should check it out as it's a great resource tool for keeping you on track.

Day 1 of Water Fast
In past juice/water fasts, I have given sporadic updates on this blog. This time around, I am going to strive to ensure I am posting daily with full details of energy levels, weight loss, etc. so that others have a resource tool to compare by.
My goal is to shoot for 10 days on this water fast. My last water fast was 3 weeks ago and I achieved 8 days. I would also like to see if it is possible to loose 30 pounds in the 10 days to see if what I have read about being able to loose as much weight in 10 days on water as you can in 30 days on juice.
My longest juice fast was 30 days (18 months ago) and I dropped 32 pounds and have kept it off.
At this time, I can easily loose an additional 30 pounds plus I am more than likely holding onto water weight as my cycle began yesterday - but the good thing to that is that I won't have any crazy food cravings like what sometimes happens before the cycle. So, this is a perfect time to kick this new water fast off!
