Day 4 - Second day of fasting

Now the first thing to cover is that there was no frogs last night which allowed me to sleep pretty good except for the three toilet breaks in the mosquito infested outside bathroom.

I was hoping today wasn't going to be as busy as the last day and thankful to find they had scheduled my appointments all together so I had plenty of time in the afternoon to do what I wished.

As normal, 7am headed over to the wellness centre for the first clay shake for the day. I think they are actually getting worse even with a small bit of lime squeezed in. Once again I thoroughly enjoyed the apple cider and honey tea.

By 7.30am it was very hot, I would guess already 30 degrees and we headed over to the beach for yoga. I managed to stay in the shade although that didn't stop me from sweating. After yoga we sat around 'the circle' sipping on ginger tea and once again reflected on the previous day and what we wanted to achieve today. My goal for the day was to feel as good and positive as I did right then at the end of the day. We drew the cards, this time I got 'beauty' which talked about how I was beautiful on the inside and out so I'll take that.

Once back at the wellness centre I took the first lot of 8 x supplements, took my shot of zeolite and started drinking my coloidal silver. Blood pressure was taken and was reading normal at 119/85 and weight, which I was most surprised about 62.8kgs. I had lost 2.1kgs in 2 days when I thought I would actually be weighing more due to all the water retention I though I must be experiencing. By now it was already time for the colema which I was dreading after yesterday but thinking positively and that maybe whatever was causing the cramps had gone I headed off to room 'I'. It kind of sounds like a jail cell doesn't it?

Morning colemas are always coffee and apple cider vinegar and once again I started the process, 2 litres in the cramps started. This time I put some cocount oil on to my stomach to try to massage it. I thought to myself that this wasn't as bad as yesterday and just to work through it.

Before I knew it I was down 6 litres and although was experiencing cramps they were more like constipation cramps than labour pains. I soldiered on until the very end and finished in record time of an hour.

At 10.30am I was to have another shake and cider tea but opted to miss it and head straight for a coconut juice. I'm not really a fan of coconut juice but it is certainly growing on me. The next lot of supplements were taken at 11.30am.

The ultrazonic zapper appointment was at 12pm where I lay down on the couch letting the machine do its work while I watched a very bias dvd called food matters. It looks at how doctors don't prescribe vitamins and aren't trained in nutrition, I am sure there is lots of truth in their argument but it was certainly presented in a way that everyone should be a vegetarian and have high dosages of vitamins, not the low dosages that we currently indulge in. As later pointed out by one of the guests here, what about Eskimos? their diet is solely animal based and they are some of the most healthiest people on the planet. Anyway, it is an interesting watch and make up your own mind. What I took out of it was that I should be more concerned about where my food comes from, make sure I buy organic and things that haven't been snapped frozen for up to a year and pasted in wax to look pretty.

Then my favourite time of the day, massage time. I was lucky enough to get Fon again who did my massage the first time. Straight away I opted for the oil massage and it was just as good as the first time. She also did a massage on my organs which I was hoping would help whatever cramping I was feeling.

I had two hours to kill and decided just to head back to my room and relax and then I went for a small walk around the resort. During this time I also took the next lot of supplements. 4pm came and it was garlic colema time.

Firstly I had my clay shake and cider tea then headed back to room 'I'. I swear that the colema ladies were up to something as my bucket would have had at least 16 litres in it so I emptied two out before getting started and praying for the best.

This time I hadn't connected all the tubes up properly which wasted some time but was secretly thankful for that little bit less liquid now available. A deep breath and turned it on. As always cramps started within the first 2 litres but this time it was back to the bad pains. I had a towel in my mouth so no one could hear my pain. It got a little better but as per the first one I seemed to cramp every 2 litres. There were 3 litres left and I thought, nope this isn't right and I'm not going to force myself so finished early had a shower and went and lay down. An hour later the cramps were still there but more like sore muscles now.

I built up some energy, tired, dizzy and headed over to the wellness centre for my much needed vege broth. After a few sips I felt ill and hot, I took a break and felt much better, finished it off followed by a tea and a shot of Acai Berry which was delicious (desert almost). I am going to miss my night shake again but still take the probiotic before sleep.

The resort has live music around the pool tonight so I am going to rest for a bit and then head over there with my insect repellent.

  1. I'm actually finding this difficult to read; but of course I won't stop reading :) It all sounds so unnatural and unhealthy, almost dangerous. It's difficult to read about you suffering. But I will continue to post comments and be honest about how I am responding to your stories, whether it makes a difference or not :) Love you, be safe x
