DAY 46: PICNIC IN THE CEMETERY

April 24, 2022 ~ Sunday

Refeeding Update: Day 13 of 14.

Daily numbers: Weight – I am maintaining a weight around 178 pounds. I was 235 pounds 11/1/2021. Weight loss since adopting diet-57 lbs. Blood pressure is always under 120/80, which is normal. Glucose is normal as well.

Phase 5: Unrestricted – eat anything in the buffet. See video below of what the buffet looks like.

My Comments: Again, it is Sunday and a quiet day at the Center. I suggested to my gals that we should go on a picnic in the cemetery, which is right around the corner from the Center. This is an old cemetery and quite large in size. The sky was blue with wispy clouds, a slight breeze, and the perfect temperature for a picnic. We got to go containers from the kitchen, filled them at the buffet tables, and left the center for our outing (see pic below). We had such a good time chatting about our families, our lives, and having a good time! We are all on a refeed program in various stages.

How am I feeling? I feel amazing. I have energy and get up an go. Granted it is at a lower setting as I have just completed a long therapeutic fast. Many say I am vibrant. I am helping others with getting their plates back to the kitchen. And once patients found out I was a computer person, I have helped several with computer issues. Nothing major. I enjoyed being useful. I have had some lovely conversations with other patients. One of my new suite-mates had done four 40 day fasts! She had been living with a 16 year headache from an injury. The first fast healed the brain and the headache stopped. Fasting can do amazing things. For me, I think more amazing things will start to happen. For example, my sleeping pattern has changed. I sleep more deeply now. A deep sleep is where healing of the body occurs.
