Got some food!

The day started just splendidly with an hour message. Then the morning lecture was also fantastic. And then spent a lot of time visiting with friends and chatting.

And then for dinner, I got food!!! Of course... it didn't take much to make me full, but it was nice.. all raw.

Tomorrow will be all raw too, I believe.

Then Sarah came to visit. :)

A very nice day indeed.

My energy level is going WAY up. I got so used to just laying around and resting... but now I find I get a little antsy... Maybe tomorrow I'll go for a walk. :)

Juice please!

WOW! Watermelon celery... and this sucker tastes like a jolly rancher, I kid you not. And my oh my it is a tall glass! And we get four of these things!? Phew!

Not much else to say.. the day hasn't really started yet... Still 125. :)

Wow..we have arrived at the end of the road.. Day 14 draws to a close

Today was a sleepy day, to be sure. I fell asleep around noon and slept through the 2 o'clock lecture... I needed it, and was quite rejuvenated after.

Then spent nearly the rest of the time chatting and hanging out with friends. A new couple arrived today.. the husband is a famous D.P! (Though I didn't recognize his name) He's DPed tons of movies, apparently... Dances With Wolves I heard was one of them. Cool stuff. Apparently they get actors, producers, directors, etc in here from time to time.

Some friends have been getting together and watching movies at night.. so I'm joining them tonight. We're going to watch Back To The Future Part 2.

Juice tomorrow! It's SO exciting!!!!

The final Day, 14

Slept very well last night.. FINALLY no ear problems, thank you drops!

Of course, a small disappointment is my count didn't budge from 23. *sigh* But that doesn't mean much... these things take time.. sometimes months, so I really can't be to discouraged (or surprised)... but I would like to have a higher number to show everyone when I get back.

However, on a positive side: 125lbs today! Watch out!!

There was an exercise class this morning, which consisted of all fasters, so we just had a Q&A. :) Next time, though... I'll be ready to work.

I love this whole fasting thing, but man am I ready to eat! Juice tomorrow!!! Whoohoo!!

Almost at the finish! Day 13 ends...

The 2 o'clock lecture was just fantastic! I love the straightforwardness of all these doctors! :D He spoke about the digestive system and how it works, and shattered a bunch of myths about other things... I just want to roll around on the ground and scream how amazing it is here and how I wish everyone could be here experiencing this with me!

Today has been a little bit of a sleepy day, so I've been taking it easy. Drawing and chatting for the most part. A new couple arrived..from South Carolina. Wooboy! The accent! I love it... The wife seems like a real sweetheart. :)

MY EAR DROPS CAME! :D I currently have some drops in my ear, so I'm typing all of this with my head sideways. Heheheh. The bottle is the cutest thing ever.. I must take a picture..

Results tomorrow!! Oh my goodness!! It makes me want to go to bed right now so tomorrow will seemingly come sooner..

Oh.. the poor lab tech. She just couldn't get a vein... so poor me as well!! There were a few very painful moments there. :P But she got one eventually, of course... Next time won't be as bad cause I'll be eating by then.

Another food idea:

7 Layer Bean Dip

(from bottom to top)

1. Brown Rice
2. Salsa
3. Mashed pinto beans
4. Guacamole
5. Mashed Black beans
6. Humus
7. Sprinkle of Black olives

I've also got blueberry pie and pizza stewing about in my brain. Man this is fantastic! I love making tasty things that are totally healthy

Prime number 13!

No cooking demo this morning. :( ..bummer.

BUT.. I did go see Dr. Awesome.... Things were actually more tender than I thought. When he was looking in my ear, it was pretty painful, and he suggested some drops that he could order. I then mentioned to him the vinegar and alcohol remedy, and he thought that was a splendid idea as well. So we mixed up a batch, poured it in, then placed a cotton ball in there so it would stay. When I sat up, everything got a little dizzy..so I pointed it out to him. Essentially, his reaction was, "Oh right.. my bad.. the cold temperature will throw things off..." Then looked at me with a raised eyebrow and concerned face as if to say, "Will you be okay?"

I reassured him I was fine...... it went away fast enough.

So we're also going to get the drops as well...which should be here by tonight, I think. WHOOT! :D Sweet relief is on it's way!!

LABS TODAY!!!! Oh goodness.. it's hard not to get excited about it....

The 2 o'clock lecture should be good.. It'll be given by the other MD that's here.... he lectures fast. (I love it)

I think I'll park myself outside and draw myself a flower...

Getting closer! Day 12 ends!

After the energy therapy, I wanted to dance a jig..but resisted, as to not totally exhaust myself. This was confirmed later when I saw Dr. Incredible. He asked how I was doing, to which I replied, "Fantastic." Then he charged me to rest, and explained how everyone wants to go and clean their whole house or something to that effect afterwards, but the key is to rest. And rest I have been doing. I sat outside for a bit and soaked up some vitamin D while chatting with some friends. And then crashed on my bed and took a nap (This is me just now waking up...)

The whole therapy actually gave me a little detox headache, so I've been downing the water. Just fascinating.

Oddly enough... this is getting much harder now that I'm at the end. Before, it was just taking it a day at a time, but now that I know I'm only a few days away from eating again, it's really hard not to perpetually think of food. Ha! It amuses me.

The ear is no better.. I'm going to see Dr. Awesome tomorrow, and something will be done about it. I must admit though, it's very interesting that it doesn't hurt... you would think that by now there would be some serious infection going on... Maybe my body is just that cool now. :)

This is a picture from my usual spot:
