Who is down to play tomorrow if the weather permits? Also, just wanted to give the guys who work downtown a heads up. We have been playing on Tuesdays and Thursdays at the outdoor court next door to the Toyota Center. Usually about 6-8 of us guy out there and play at 11AM during our lunch break.
Can't play tomorrow, I'll be on day 3 of my water fast and any strenuous physical activity is strongly discouraged.
So everyone plays on outside courts? Dam that sucks oh well ill play at my usual spot its indoor court so dont gotta worry about the rain
Thanks. I was in a full-on b**** mood last night, wasn't pretty. Today hasn't been so bad yet, but from everything I hear Day 2 is the real pain in the ass, headaches, stomach cramps, unbearable cravings. Yikes.
I've done the daniel fast. Not as extreme but could only eat vegetables from 1pm to 6pm for 3 weeks. First week is hell, Next week you'll feel cleansed and on cloud 9.
finalsbound is on Day 6 right now, hasn't eaten a thing since Saturday Night. She was in agony most of Day 2, but after that she's been feeling pretty good and her body has been detoxing like a mofo.
Dude, good luck, been there I know it's tough. You're a smart cat and sure you researched it, but I would add some live juices, never water alone, it releases the toxins too quickly. Dilute all juices with water preferably distilled. Lemon, and apple are good enough, and might mix in a green drink too. As you come off the fast eat raw veggies and add an herbal tea, yogi makes some great cleansing teas. I would also take Kyolic Garlic, great for the immune system. Nutritional healing is kinda my thing, I fast twice a year. Good luck, hit me up if you need anything, be glad to help out. I think I'm down to play Saturday.
we're following dr. joel fuhrman's plan. what happens if toxins are released too quickly? since day 4 of my fast my body has been purging toxins from my eyes, nose, and mouth (in addition to urination and bowel movements). everything released from my body smells like a strange combination of ammonia and moth balls (including my tongue, which is coated with a disgusting white layer, which i understand is normal due to the process). from the research i've done, it seems that water fasting is the most recommended, as long as you have a lot of time to sleep at night and rest during the day. i don't mind the detoxification process happening faster, unless of course there are adverse side effects. but from everything i've read, it's very safe and one of the best things you can do for your body. (i'll be breaking my fast with diluted raw juices the first couple days, then move up to full strength juices for the next 2-3, then pureed fruit, and finally whole fruits/vegetables about 7-8 days after the end of the fast). mikol13: that's really cool that you're into nutritional healing, it is one of my favorite things to research/read about. it's amazing what you can do for your body through what you eat.
Awesome man, thats really swell. I'm not feeling too bad today, just ready to get my health back on the fast track.
If other folks are in, I'm in. Probably. I'm crashing in College Station tonight and don't know when I'll be back tomorrow and have plans in the evening. If I've got the time in between, I'll be there for sure.
finalsbound, I was pretty sure you guys didn't go into this thing blind. Just thought I would add a couple things. It's always best to start the fast with raw veggies for a couple days, it makes it less of a shock on the system and adds some nutrients. I'm big on adding live juices with distilled water because the immune systems workload is greatly reduced and you're adding important vitamins, minerals and enzymes. Sometimes water only can cause you to get insanely sick because there are no vitamins or nutrients added, so although releasing toxins, that's all there really is in the system, one reason why green drinks are vital, producing oxygen and said vits, mins. How long are you guys fasting? Like I said let me know if anything comes up, I'll help anyway I can.
I dont think I can make it tomorrow. We are having a shindig at our place in the evening, so I got to chore it up around the house.
won't be able to make it tomorrow... going to Austin for a friend's bachelor party... hopefully next weekend I'll be able to make it out
