Day Four - Evening

Well the rest of the day went okay, mostly sat around until I came out of that glazed over stage where I just wanted to sleep. I almost took a nap. Around five or so I livened up and my body was telling me - go for a walk! Guess it wanted air, so I took it for a walk. :) Little lightheaded by the end of it. Only went for about 20-25 minutes. Got back a couple minutes ago. Now I have a slight headache from it. Maybe pushed myself a bit too much - I've only had 8 glasses today. Anyway -- I'm glad the day is almost over -- I wonder what is on the table for tomorrow. Ok - bad expression - now I'm thinking about food! You know -- honestly -- I think I have learned more about self control and will power over the past five days than in my whole life. I have always let food have its way with me - I was under its influence. I should be able to choose what I want to eat. Ok -- that may take a bit more work -- because typically what I want to eat isn't what I should be eating! :)  God I just want a panini sandwhich!!! Right now!! Think I'll sip on some peppermint tea, laced with---you guessed it -- maple syrup! I think I am developing an addiction. :) It's just so good. hehe. Anyway, hope this headache goes away soon. :) I think there is a list of stuff to try and get rid of a headache naturally -- I'm not supposed to use any OTC drugs on this fast either. :( I am probably classified as a pill-popper. I'm always reaching for the ibprophen. If I could beat this sugar habit, I don't think I would have too. And my back hasn't been aching -- okay it does when I sit on the couch in this position! But I was really suprised that the back pain - the muscle that I must have stretched -- it went away so suddenly - the first day I was on this fast actually.
Anyway---that rash went away now. And I wish I didn't have such a keen sense of smell -- I laid here most of the afternoon smelling my own odor!! I smell rancid even though I've showered!! I guess it's those rancid oils and toxins. I don't know -- definently have this 'stale' smell. I know others have said this when they go on their fast -- and usually it's their partner they can't stand to be around though - because their nose is so sensitive their partner smells like grease or fast food. :) Another reason I'm glad I'm single! I don't have to cook for my family or be around others who are eating! That makes this much easier.
I must admit -- I was eyeing those bananas at the breakfast table this morning! They looked so good.
Whoa - suddenly I feel like I want to throw up or something, better get some tea or lemonade or something. 
By the way -- the Sienna tea tastes much better when you only take 8 ounces of it - let it steep for however long, drop icecubes in it to cool it and take it right before you go to bed. Like RIGHT before! Too early and you'll wake up at 4-5 with cramps I think. I've been going to bed around 11:00 though. I normally go to bed at 12 -- but hey -- I've been forcing myself to get up at 6 every morning just to choke down that salt water flush. Blaghhhaaa!!!!  Also -- used 2 1/2 tsp of sea salt this morning -- worked - not quite as good as yesterday - but really - who wants to be running (and I mean running) to the bathroom for three hours. Might as well just camp out on the floor and read a good book while you're there! Still takes about an hour before it starts. Also I had a BM this afternoon - which was kind of odd -- usually it's all in the morning. 
Ok, I really need to get some tea before I pass out or something.
