Day 4 of my 5 day fast

This definitely hasn't been fun or easy.  First day, my stomach did growl more than normal, but it wasn't too bad. 
Second day was actually easy. 
Third day was hard, I was going on 3 hours of sleep and a 15 hour work day and I know I felt weak and exhausted.  Not eating dosent give me energy and then not having my normal energy from sleeping just wore me out.  What I have been doing though is making 1 smoothie a day.
Fourth day is today and I woke up fine, plenty of sleep.  Brian and I went the store to get a few things and when we got back started doing some yard work that was left over.  While I was helping Brian with the fence I felt so weak and couldn't hold it for him.  I instantly started crying.  I knew that it was because I was weak and this is a mental thing.  I also realized that bending over alot will make me dizzy and feel like I'm about to pass out.  I do have one more day and I am off of work so I know that I can relax and take it easy.  We do plan on going out of town after all of this an treating ourselves.

My goal for the year is to build my body back up with some grilled chicken and healthy foods and eat more times a day with smaller portions.  I also need to watch my portion control and I want to start working out a couple of times a week to get toned.

Smoothie:

I blended
banana
an orange
2 kiwis
frozen pineapple
fresh spinach
some ice


You don't taste the spinach, but you still are getting the protein.  I realized when I have banana and pineapple that's what you taste the most.  Today I ran out of bananas so I put 2 oranges in there instead and it tasted like all orange.  It wont look like it....Brian calls it baby poop, but its good.
