Day 5 and I'm feeling pretty good. I am neither high nor low this morning. I am alert and in a pleasant mood. My BP is level at 119/71, which is within a point or two of yesterday, resting heart rate is 54, down from 55. When I started back on track on June 8th my BP was around 140/90 even with BP meds daily. It started dropping too low around June 16th and a call to my doc, she told me to take them every other day so that is where I am at now, not much change between medication days and non-medicated days, so that is a good thing! Pain levels in my right hip are down, I think the bike is doing the trick of getting the kinks out of it, but my knee is doing about the same, it did no good for our new 55 lb puppy to crash into it yesterday and kind of made it extend too far backwards.....that made me cuss for a minute! She was headed to her food bowl and I was in her way, head-butt to the knee..LOL so impatient the young are! Potassium chloride and magnesium have some laxative qualities, so I had a surprising BM this morning, my first since day 2 of the fast. I did not know there was still material lurking inside me so that contributed to today's weight drop. No potty breaks during the night last night so I believe the excess fluid is gone. All in all I believe it's been a successful 5 days, only 2 to go! Well 1.5 actually since I will break my fast Sunday morning, about 11 hours short of 168. That was planned on my part. Fast On!
