Fasting-Day 5

Today did not start out very good. I was expecting to get to sleep in a little and start my day easy. Instead, I was woken up very early by the SWAT team in my neighbors yard, throwing flash bangs and concussion grenades into their house!! At first, I thought it was gunshots, and so I jumped up and went in to wake up Cj. We both were going window to window to see what was going on...and then we saw the SWAT. At least it wasn't gunshots....but the adrenaline rush that I had combined with jumping up so abruptly made me feel quite ill...head rush, sweats, headache...the works. (This isn't abnormal to me....anytime I get the super scared adrenaline rush, it makes me nauseous. I assumed that it was just intensified because of the fast.) Drinking some water and reclining on the couch made it all better :) I have been feeling colder than usual, and Cj has been jokingly complaining about me turning the heat up, lol. I also have had itchy skin, regardless of lotioning. No biggie though. Overall today I felt very good, just a little more tired than usual. And not body-exhausted-tired...just sleepy. I managed to get quite a few chores done around the house, so I cannot complain :)

A big update (kinda) is that Cj and I have decided to break our water fast Saturday evening around 8pm instead of Sunday morning. This Sunday will be an eventful day at church with us being there from about 830a-330p. I would hate to drink juice that morning and have it have some adverse effects on us that would disrupt our church experience....so we have decided to have a nice glass of juice with some water too, of course, while relaxing and watching a movie Saturday evening :) I will post what recipes or combinations of veggies and fruits we use as we go for anyone interested!
