Day 10 - Rough Night

   You would think Day 10 would be an easy one to finish out because you are soo close to the end but I had to draw on a lot of strength to not give into day.  I think I should have spent more time this morning praying for strength to finish strong.   The first part of the day went fine after a little pep talk from my sister (who I'm still blaming for talking me into this ;0).  She reminded me that I am so close to the end and that if I try to break the fast the wrong way it would not be worth the pain suffered later.  But this evening I was not feeling well, headache, achy shoulders and neck and even some abdomnal pain which come to find out is from a slight infection I have due to an overdose of citrus (acidic) fruit.  Need to list that under the precautions for anyone doing this.  So I'm glad it's the last day b/c I think it would have had to have become my last day if not.  Tonight as I go to bed I am full after drinking one final lemonade about 2 hours ago and then a cup of peppermint tea about 20 min. ago.  However, I still have the headache and feel the achy "after the flu" feeling.  I wish I was having the euphoric wonderfully energetic feeling that many talk about having at this point in the game but what can I say??? I'm not everyone I guess.  I'm just proud that I've made it this far and I'm still around to blog about it :)  Thanks to all my friends out there that have supported me through this experience.
