Morning of day 9. Had some pretty good bowel movements this morning but also retained some water I can feel it in my hands and feet a little. Going to have bone broth again today but no added saltā¦ the broth had 55mg of salt already then the tums altogether had 10mg of salt and I added 600 mg(1/4 of a teaspoon) to the broth I calculated it this morningā¦whoops. But feeling overall better. The acid burps are gone as of now yay! I looked in the mirror and am pleased with my stomach though I can notice the difference. Not where I want to be but it does feel good to see results. Going to look up how to keep off water weight when I refeed as this was a struggle last time. I almost immediately gained back the 10lbs of water weight within a few days. Also, looking as to when I will fast again. Planning is something I am striving for in all aspects of life. Happy fasting!

Seriously contemplating on whether to continue the fast longer and just incorporate the broth. Ran out of the kettle and fireā¦trying to find an alternative as each package is about 2 cups and are $8 but itās so good. Bought the target brand yesterday and tried itā¦no. It was horrible. It wasnāt bland but it was off tasting. I added a pinch of beef bouillon I think thatās why Iāve retained the waterā¦read the back and it has 1000mg in 1/4 tsp 
I need to read the labels instead of acting on impulse lol. Oh also getting a couple gallon jugs of water at the dollar store until my bottle comes tomorrow. Woke up happy and refreshed besides slight swollen hands and feet. Gonna have a good day. Going to my moms, dropping off my daughter and watching church, then premarital counseling

Day 11 in 3 minutes 
I think Iām going longer Going to take it one day at a time and listen to my body. Really happy but I think thereās some more spiritual work to do. Tried 2 different bone broths today. Swansons bone broth won. Itās really goodā¦Pacific foods was no bueno. I drank at least 5 bottles of water today. I took my travel water bottle which holds two 16.9 water bottles. Drank two cups of bone broth right now. Feeling great and like I can continue. Happy to post here and be supported

Iām so pleased for you no greater feeling than knowing you can keep going and that spirituality is the motivation.
I remember going really deep at 2-3 weeks last year, so get ready for the rapid succession of realisations your emotionally detached fromā¦ when normally youād āfeelā it deeplyā¦ be aware that anxiety can start playing up but just ground and focus again and Iām sure youāll fly through.
Itās a very odd experience when you get there and definitely impacts after the fast. Itās a truth youāve never felt before.

So much has happened in these short 10 daysā¦blessing, breakthrough and struggle. Pre marital counseling at the same time (week 5 today) has been enlightening in itself but I am happy. Drank one more cup of bone brothā¦ but cut the swansons with the pacific bone broth. Feeling good, high energy just like a regular day with food

Good morning! 
Retained salt againā¦same weight as yesterdayā¦maybe just maybe God is telling me to focus on Him rather than āam I any skinnier todayā mentality I get when I go to step on the scale. Idk if Iāll weigh myself again until afterā¦going to really monitor my water todayā¦gallon water bottle delivery was postponedā¦ overall Iām feeling well. Drinking some lemon ginger tea just starting my day. Made new stickies for my fridge labeled 11-21 we will seeā¦

Day 12 feeling really really good!
okay so I put Tabasco on my last two cups of bone broth ā¦and pepper and 4 shakes of saltā¦and a squeeze of lemon juice. I only bought one swansons and had the two other brands left so I Improvised. It was so earthy dirt tasting. Anyways I drank 7 bottles of water, 4 cups of bone broth today and I am constantly having to pee but I wanted to counteract the salt intake no matter how small it is. Per cup is 180mg for swanson and 90mg for the other of salt but I figured any amount is no good. Probably stepping on the scale tomorrow despite my earlier post. Also wrote down breakthrough list today and I had an interesting conversation about my faith today with someone who follows Islamā¦super out of the blue phone call I havenāt heard from him in a year or even longerā¦heās actually the owner of the machine shop I go to, super random but the ups and downs of this fast emotionally, spiritually itās trying but God is good!! All the time

I find the most interesting conversations around faith happen with other believersā¦ You may not agree. But we are all one faith, you either believe in something greater than you or you donāt.
Every faith has similar stories, morals to live by and kind and compassionate hearts. Iām glad you felt inspired by your conversation with your friend and that he reached out to you.
Sounds like your doing great

Day 13! 
Yay feeling good been in my Word, praying, devotion time set apart and just being spiritually fed. Hopped on a great prayer call tonight with people from New York and here in California. Feeling refreshed. I havenāt mentioned here but I have been cooking lately almost every day lasagna, chicken piccata, blueberry pancakes and today I made banana bread and banana muffins forthe kids with chocolate chip chunks and walnuts. The Lord has really been my strength and Iām actually learning to love cooking again and have a ton of keto recipes saved and stocking up my cabinets with non perishables. Tomorrow is going to be a day though! Praying for Gods hand to be on us allā¤ļø
