I weighed myself this am at 132.
For breakfast I had some cracked oat meal. The bag called it Scottish Oats. Whatever. Not the greenest breakfast, but I had some wheat grass juice too, so I feel - did alright
Now that I have b een back for 3 days, I am up to speed on the projects I was working on when I left.
I made a nice juice blend called "CABALA".
It is Carrot-Apple(red)-Beet-Apple(green)-Lemon(entire)-Apple(yellow).
I took a quart to work and drank it all. I also went to House of Tibet with Spring, Kanyon, and a friend from work who has a child near Kanyon's age. The food wasn't raw, but it sure made me feel good to eat!
For dinner, we had a big green salad. I am happy with my food choice for the day.

Back to My Job
Well, I have been silent for a while. I just had little desire/time to get on the net. Now that I am back at work, I can take a moment after hours to post something. I will speak more about the time after the fast AND before work started in the near future.
Suffice it to say that I fell very good. There are a few aches in the muscles with cancer. Similar to a muscle that has been worked out hard. I want to eat constantly, and usually want something that is spicy, sweet, cooked, bread, dairy and other stuff that I would be best to avoid. This has been the biggest challenge for me. Sometimes I get weak and eat it anyway, but today I renewed my efforts and feel I have done well.
Off to the store now to get more veggies to juice and eat. I appreciate all the time and love sent by all. Thank you.

Day 20 - End of Fast
Last night after posting, I broke my fast. When I woke, I weighed in at 123.5 lbs even though I at some last night.
I broke my fast with juices. I started with a carrot-apple-ginger juice. I then had some of the beet-carrot-lemon-ginger juice that my brother made for himself last night. Hours after some juice, I then ate some tomatoes with sauerkraut and some tomato vinaigrette. This was quite satisfying. Last night my guts were churning a lot, but I expected it after a fast as my guts fill up again.
So the big question is, "Have the tumors gotten smaller?" In all honesty, I cannot say for sure. I THINK so, but not a lot. I would need to measure more precisely than just feeling with my fingers.
So I am now onto the next phase of my healing. I am drinking carrot-apple-ginger and eating tomatoes with sauerkraut. I will likely find another food soon, but I will likely stick with lots of juices from dark greens and roots. I now have the strength to keep warm and do more than sit around.

Day 19 of Fast
Today I weighed in at 123.5 lbs again. I am not surprised. Again, the water I have in me fluctuates.
Boy my body feels different when I shower and shave. I can feel how much smaller I am. My face is quite hollow too. If I have not lost some muscle, I have lost all the fat around my arms and legs. I am not concerned about losing muscle, I can grow that back. I want to get back to the gym and gain some strength and tone.
I am now the only person fasting. Last night was below freezing outside and cool inside. Fortunately we have a small heater that we use to keep it from getting to cold. But fasting makes it hard to generate my own heat. I use lots of blankets during the days.

Day 18 of Fast – YEA, Rash
Today I weighed in at 123.5 lbs. I am conserving energy quite a bit. I just sit around a lot though.
Today my brother Deon broke his fast. He fasted for 12.5 days. He came up because of his high blood pressure. When he first got here, he would wake with a BP of 160-170/100-110. Today he had a BP of 129/90. He feels SO MUCH better. He did have some rough days during the fast, but he made it through.
Dad left for home. It has been great to cook with him and we split up the bounty of canned good we lovingly made so family can share. It all looked so yummy.
