Day 14 (1 more day to go)

I'm so excited that tomorrow is my last day - words do not suffice!

This morning we walked to Kalamunda and went to the farmers market. We could smell so many gorgeous things cooking: bread, pastries, sausages, burgers, bacon, cakes, muffins and so much more. It was torture walking by all these yummy looking things. Especially after the walk. There was a very  nice guy who had a meat stand. He kept on tempting us to taste the samples he had on his stall. I explained how we were fasting and had come to purchase some things to have once we have finished. He asked what our fast involved and I explained and he was very impressed and encouraging! It turns out he's a naturopath so we got talking about all sorts of things and then another lady, who's a personal trainer, joined in. They both had said that they strongly recommend the paleo diet. The guy's bacon just smelled so amazing, we had to get some. It was so lovely to meet like minded people that were so encouraging. Afterwards we bought some vegetables. They were SO much cheaper at the farmers market compared to the supermarket. If you can, do your grocery shopping at a local farmers market. We couldn't believe the difference. For example, avocados cost $4.58 each in the supermarket and they cost $2.50 at the farmers market!

I felt really sick this evening after having one of the juices which was crammed with cucumber. It made me feel awful. I usually eat cucumber to stop me from feeling sick. It was awful. I got to the point where it was sheer will that stopped me from throwing up. The next juice was going to be the juice of half a watermelon. I couldn't drink any more liquid so I folded. I ate the slices of water melon. I thought seeing as the original state of the fruit is very similar to the juice itself, I didn't think I was completely letting myself down. Afterwards I didn't feel sick anymore. So, I hope this won't hinder me too much.

Other than that the only thing I have left to say is, YAAAAY TOMORROW'S THE LAST DAY!
