Melly's Daily Water Fast Journal

[daybyday]

Day 16- Woke up tired! Very very strong coffee which I usually hate doing as I think coffee v bad for you but hey life goes on
struggled this morning- didn’t sleep too well, feeling very emotional- cried LOL. Felt the power of god this morning and felt humbled to be doing this.

Feel very humbled to have moved a lot today, got some sun and even met a wonderful friend who is very dear to me.

Evening things kicked in, really desperately needed that caffeine and felt dizzy when I got up, must do the salts!

Evening had loads to do. Unfortunately read something which upset me and got super angry and emotional…wish i hadn’t seen it, need the positivity but hey it happened.

Right now I am finding it hard- really dreaming of every possible thing you can think of, i mean I now I must go on, in fact i have no other choice but I wish it wasn’t that way. Like in my case I have no other choice!

Gratitude list
1.grateful for family
2.Wonderful people on this planet, i am so lucky I met
3.I am alive and I don’t know how long for. Count myself lucky in the morning
4.That coffee this morning, even though i usually hate coffee was heaven looool
5.the sun
6.Life
7.God

I pray to god that when I meet him, I have done the right thing in my life, we are given this life as a gift, wish you the very best, prayers and hugs to you

Blessings

[daybyday]

Please please I pray I carry on to till the end. I hope your doing well and had a good day. How was your day?

[Melly1]

You absolutely will carry on until the end and that is it. Whether you want to or not…you do it. The emotion of it is out the window. That’s discipline. I don’t necessarily want to do half of the things I do. Sometimes I literally wait until the last 30 minutes…but I do it.

Don’t think about how are we going to make it. Think about this day. These moments and how happy you are in this moment. Think-Do feel hydrated. Hmmm, I need to sip some water (DRINK). My legs are feeling a little tight, let me stretch (STRETCH). Let me call a friend and tell them I love them (CALL). It’s the moments throughout the day that bring me joy and guides me through the day. I just so happen to not be eating the unnecessary and unhealthy foods in these moments of my life and that’s okay.

Day 8- I’m Sexy and I Know It.… lololol. Day 8, what are you doing to me?..

This is exactly how I feel right now!!! bruhahahahahaha. Today was GREAT! I finally feel like my jubilant self. lololol. This is literally how I felt today. Stomach is in. Thighs are slimming. I normally wear a blazer or sweater when I leave the house. Not today. I left without a blazer and even walked around my neighborhood thinking…boy, look at my body, I workout!!! lolololololol

Challenge:
One of the beautiful ladies in my Fasting Group mentioned pickle juice… Why Lord, now I can’t stop thinking about that pickle juice. I am trying my best to NOT go and purchase pickle juice. SMH

Highlight:

• I am going to bed early!!!
• I bought the items needed for a good skincare regimen

Happy Thoughts:

• I am gonna be a size 12 or smaller
• This is my whole lifestyle 4eva!
• My son is going to get into the school that he desires
• I am going to be so happy in my new Range
• I am open for my new boyfriend to find me ( I want to be swept off my feet )

I am all giggles and laughs today… Thank you, God! #Day8 #GoddessEnergy #Yellow #Happy

Fazinha,

Listen, September is still young. You have many days this month to Fast. Don’t wait until October. Just do 2 days each week and they don’t have to be consecutive. You can do:
Sunday 24 Hour Fast (1)
Monday OMAD (One meal a day)
Tuesday OMAD
Wednesday Juice all day
Thursday 24 Hour Fast (2)
Friday OMAD
Saturday Eat Regular
START OVER!

This just a suggestion to keep you in the game. What do you think?

[Fazinha]

Hi Melly,
Yes, I know that september is young, but when i refered october, i meant for a much prolonged fast (for me, 5 or more days), because I guess I was not ready for some reason (3 days of fast with that dizziness that i felt, i don’t think is good), and i think it’s better to prepare myself well, mantaining a good meal plan, rest and doing other shorter fasts. I am now doing omad yes, i didn’t chose a startegy for protocols but your sugestion came very well, thanks again . A good fasting day!

[daybyday]

Day 17- Wow this got real tough now. Woke up and I am wiped out!
Couldn’t get out of bed. Desperately needed more sleep. Barely getting any. Hey tough luck that’s life. Wow am I going down on that coffee. I am really angry with myself as it’s getting to me now. I feel like I am being tortured loool! But I am sure it is a good thing. I know I am doing the right thing. The pain is insane. My insides are burning with frustration lool.

Thank you for your encouragement. If I have to cry through this, laugh or scream no am joking so be it.

4/5 days gosh am too tired to even think- I will be half way there. Wow god help us. I mean this is no walk in the park. I watched a lady who did 40 and she was on her knees crying like I have never seen. I get it. I really really do!

My coffee is saving me double triple lol. I think I may start dancing or what ever needs to be done to get through it. Yes i’ll join you in the laughing haaa haaa anything to see this through.

Yes you are right. We will do it. God forbid I don’t. I will never forgive myself.

Your day 8
I bet you look amazing!
Yes you should be proud!
Lol yes someone yesterday was telling me about recipes I nearly fainted. No am joking!

Your highlights
Great idea. May follow in your footsteps
Wow love your skin care idea!

Happy thoughts
-you most certainly will be. I can see that.
-Yes I am with you. I know it is very hard but too late now, we are in. No going back!
-He will. Will keep my fingers crossed for you.
-Oh your in the dating game? I see that is exciting- well I tell ya. He will be one lucky man!
Keep going and you will find the right one! I mean from what I have seen i tell you, any one would be stupid not to!

Keep laughing and smiling. I may join you Even when it’s not funny. laughing is the way!

You know that little voice that tells you am I harming myself more as am drained to the bone but I know I am getting stronger. It makes you stronger. This! is why we do it.

Between me and you what are the hashtags? Look forward to hear from you. I don’t feel like it but I will smile for the rest of the day today. Wipe the tears, put on some music and keep going. Don’t feel like smiling but going to force myself to!

That is what I call two strong ladies, who are just getting stronger. Bring it on. I am ready

[daybyday]

Horrific day today. I am not going to sugar coat it. Very very very very tough. Woke up in a horrific state and had a morning from hell. The good news is day 17. The bad news is I wasted precious time that am really beating myself up for. I feel really down. I know all kind of people exist. Why bother mentioning the ones that want to drag you down and want you to quit. Best focus on the good people. Prays and hugs. I had to swallow a few things loool the coconut oil was water so ended up swallowing with this horrible salty water from veg i had boiled and there were bits and I kept getting more and more angry why the coconut was liquid. I simply struggle to swallow. Yesterday it got stuck & i really panicked, which if it gets stuck in the wrong place looool! No am fine really. I read it is normal to be incredibly angry, frustrated, moody around this time of it. I’ll keep going but I understand it is a v tough challenge and I very much respect the people who did this as wow it’s something else. No where near as hard as I thought. people talk about it like it’s easy. I mean i don’t know if i am missing something. I feel like it’s torture. Hope your good. Going to keep praying

[Melly1]

I pray that God lifts your Spirit and gives you strength. Amen.

Day 9- started off good and is ending with me being tired and feeling blah…not so good.

Highlight:

• I walked for 13 minutes on the trail at the park.

This will be super short tonight because I am going to bed. I am tired for real.
I started feeling weird all of a sudden around 5:20 p.m. after drinking some loose cherry tea. I don’t know what about it that started to make me feel sick. I have been trying to recover with water since then. My body feels sorta tingly. Not sure what that means.

I even licked some pink Himalayan salt to see if that would help. And, this for me a no, no. Anyway, I am over day 9,

[daybyday]

Another incredibly incredibly incredibly tough day but let’s focus on one thing, we are still doing it.

Your day 9 is amazing! It’s ok you feel that way. I read you will feel awful, irritable, angry, moody, distressed. Your toxins are leaving your body. Going to bed early. wow i admire you. My sleep isn’t to good. I think you should sleep well haa haa.

You know you will do very well. I am so proud of how far we have come. We both are incredibly strong woman.You know why. Despite how hard it is we are doing it. Don’t underestimate this. We have our own personal lives and still we are doing it. stay blessed. Keep going. You got this!:

[Melly1]

Day 10…almost half way there but not quite…

This morning I woke up a little dehydrated, but I felt like I was back to normal. I decided to let my group know that I almost called it quits. Yas told me I probably needed some potassium, so off to GNC I went. So, I got some LiquidIV, an electrolyte mix! Thank you, GOD! What a lifesaver! I felt so much better afterwards. I only have 8 in a pack so I will stretch them out over about 13 days. Whew.

It was suggested that I take a break from my exercise, but I have to see how I feel about that. That would mess up my daily streak.

This fasting makes me extremely productive. I like that!

I am going to head out to have my Friday night tea/coffee with a friend.

[Melly1]

You encouragement is awesome. Thank you so much. Yes, we are still in the game and playing to win for sure. I am going to use this weekend to work and rest. I have an all day meeting tomorrow that starts pretty early. I am excited about it though because it is very important.

Find some cheer this weekend. Promise yourself that you will do some fun things and make yourself smile and laugh #Spiritmedicine

[daybyday]

Yessss no worries! Tell me about it we need to detox and stay positive. What are your hashtags for? I have been watching sooo many videos! Yes you too. Have fun. Lol I will try!

[Melly1]

Good day!!!

The hashtags are really used on IG to connect people to your posts because it shows you have the same interests. I like to use them because they sum up thoughts in a succinct way. It’s like saying more with less. I hope that helps. lolololol

I hope your day 18 is going well. It’s 18, right? What is your goal? Are you doing 21 or longer?

[Melly1]

Day 11
I wore a dress today (BIG DEAL) !!! I don’t even wear dresses. I like them, actually buy them, but I never wear them. So, today was huge. Not only did I wear it but I looked and felt BEAUTIFUL in it, like a Disney Princess. I just kept twirling around… WOW! Mind you, the dress is brand new. Popped the tags off this morning. It sat in the closet along with its other never worn peers for months. I even called my mom and spun around a couple of times for her on Facetime. lolololol #glee

This dress is symbolism for CHANGE. I like the change. I am trying new things. I am more open and extremely tranquil.

Exercise:
I went for my walk for approximately 18 minutes. I walked the neighborhood. Nothing spectacular.

Eating in My Mind
I smelled freshly popped popcorn today. Yum! lol. The kids made some and the aroma was so strong I felt like I was eating some. So, I guess you can say I inhaled that popcorn. lololololol

Overall, I feel good. Tired but okay. I am about to drink some water and rest.

#911 A day to remember the lives lost… #NewYork #home
A day to reflect
A day to learn deeply
A day of Sisterhood
A day of pride (of my oldest son)
A day I wore a dress
The day I changed #IsisEnergy

[Melly1]

Day 12- Not much to say for today. I’m still here. I started taking magnesium today. I am glad tomorrow is a new day that is closer to my goal.

Exercise:

Highlight:Fruit infused water which I am drinking right now and will have to use the bathroom all night long!!

Song of the Day: Sarah (Day by Day) This is for you!!!

[daybyday]

Going to keep short and sweet today. Like you I am now on the videos! Will post too. Phew it has been tough. Had to take medicine for my stomach which is falling to bits. Enough about me lol! Firstly re your hashtags! You seem pumped! Re your dress size bet you look beautiful! Re your goals wow! Yes you must stay positive no doubt. Magnesium great! Lol as I said my stomach is having a mind of it’s own. Have no clue. Yes today is day 22 to the best of my ability though as you know I do have the coconut oil etc etc and things I have to take like supplements etc but to the best that I could do in the situation I am in I did my absolute best and yes o you could say I am trying day 22!!!

[daybyday]

nearly broke it last night quite late at night. That video probably stopped me as did will power. I would have been disgusted at myself if I had broken it. Two nights of no sleep led to that! Can you imagine I was planning on having fried food. I wouldn’t have been able to live with myself. what after all that pain now is not the time to call it quit. Going through an exceptionally tough time. The good news is i am day 23. so cheers to all the wonderful people who love me. I salute you!!! Thanks to you I am day 23 looool. Being positive is for the best haa ha. How are you getting on. some people help you out with you realizing!!! Thank the lord for inspiring videos and books.

[daybyday]
