Stats: Transition Phase Day 1

So, transitioning from fasting to eating again. I need to just ease 

my body back in and allow it a little time to get everything "back online"

as it were. This means juicing and just starting on easily digestible solids,

gradually introducing more and adding as I feel ready. Essentially taking 

notice of what my body tells me. I plan to stay predominantly raw for 

a while and also plan to incorporate more raw eating into my

general diet. Alright, so day 1;

Breakfast: watermelon/apple juice + watermelon pieces

Lunch: more watermelon/apple juice + 1 avocado (with touch of sea salt)

Dinner: fruit salad with watermelon/apple/rock melon/kiwi fruit/peaches/grapes

Unusual and challenging . . .

So, I'm not keeping up with the blog terribly well at present but I'm sure things will settle into a little more of a routine soon enough. Anyway, it is now Saturday night and we have arrived home from a day out celebrating Ji's 3rd birthday by taking a trip from Belgrave to Lakeside for the afternoon on Puffing Billy. Both kids (and mum and dad) had a great day but everyone is very tired and a little grumpy (the birthday boy in particular) and it is definitely time for bed.

But before I go I am finally getting to post a couple of videos I made either Wednesday or Thursday night, I forget which now but anyway, here they are (in which I reveal my little rituals I have been completing to mark the end of my fast) . . .

So, there you go, just a bit of fun to underline and ritualise some important ideas in my continued process of life change, healing and revitalisation. Giving yourself signs and reminders is a powerful psychological tool and one I plan to use more often in future.

And here's some shots from the birthday trip;

Final weight, WF Day 40

So, ended up a little over my personal prediction;

I thought I'd end up around 55k and I actually ended

up just over 57k so not too far away.

Now my weight is really just a minor statistic and

not terribly important in the overall reasons for and 

benefits gained by my 40 day fast.

I have ended up feeling so much better in every way 

compared to the way I felt when I began this cleansing

and fasting experience in January. It has been one 

of the most worthwhile endeavours of my life and 

I am very pleased to have been able to share it with

you too. 

And now on to the next phase . . . 

Stats: WF Day 37/38/39

Checked in to my room at the 

"Bayview on The Park" hotel.

  

3 final days in personal reflection, meditation

rest and relaxation.

". . . ahhhhhh serenity now"
