Fast Day 10 – 9:00AM Pacific Time

The final day has finally arrived, only 13 more hours before I go to sleep and awake to a large glass of fruit juice.

Today feels like:

• The day before my wedding day
• The day before my wife’s due date
• The day before the 7th day of the World Series (Yankees win, of course)
• The day before last year’s Super Bowl (Giants beat the Patriots)
• The day before the letter of acceptance to the college of my choice is to arrive
• The day before national board licensing scores are to arrive

There may be many other examples that I could add, but you get the idea. I am thrilled to have reached this day. I achieved my objectives, I feel great, and I believe that I have achieved long-term health benefits.

I only lost 1/2 pound in the last 24 hours, blood pressure remain fine at 100/78. I continue to have no hunger and the nausea that plagued me until Day 8 also has disappeared. I still have laryngitis and this strange odor, but these symptoms/signs should pass quickly as I start eating.

Here is the re-feeding schedule that begins tomorrow:

• Day 1: Juice only every few hours
• Day 2: Raw fruits and salad
• Day 3: Add steamed vegetables
• Day 4: Add grains, beans, and nuts

Looking forward to another cooking class today and my fruit/vegetable drinks tomorrow.

I will not be blogging tomorrow, but will be back on Sunday.
