Slept well. Up early. Had a shower. I dehydrated a bit in the night which I can tell by the shade of urine being a bit darker and a slight head ache. A glass of water and a lie down fixed that. Urination seems more frequent. Had very active dreams. It's funny how the usual foods that one has consumed long before the fast seem to create a smell in the mouth. This morning I detect a slight egg and beans (My usual breakfast). Deeper into a fast other food smells are detected in the nose that are being purged, sometimes things you may not have eaten for months. Eventually though when the body becomes completely detoxified one's breath smells sweet as does ones body.

Fasting is a very good way of strengthening the mind as one tries to keep it on other things (or nothing). One of the main things to go for is keeping fairly busy or having company. A lot of extra time is gained by not eating, cooking or shopping, often hours. A couple of people said I looked better yesterday. My skin is looking good, and my eyes are a bit brighter and I've lost about 5lbs. Tomorrow my daughter comes to stay so I will have to cook, yikes!
Performed the dreaded water enema. A good tip for very toxic fasters is to use black coffee in the enema as it speeds up the detoxification process. I haven't been drinking any herb tea either, I'm not a big herb tea drinker normally. I remember once on a fast I decided to have an ordinary cup of PG with milk in it, BIG mistake. Because my digestive juices had stopped the milk felt like it turned to cottage cheese in my stomach and I went around town burping cheese smells into people faces :-/. For the first 8 or 9 fasts I made every mistake in the book, so I feel very confident about fasting now. Onwards and upwards.
