Thank God - it's the final day of fasting! Final day of nose drops! And best of all, it's the final day of ghee! The oiling was pleasant enough and I wouldn't mind doing the oiling again - sans nose drops. I can eat vegetarian food the next day which is exciting. I asked the therapist what exactly could I eat. She said - chapati, tosai, oats for breakfast, then rice and vegetables for lunch and I could have chapati again for dinner. I asked her, could I have dhal? She said yes. Woohoo! Could I have fruit? Yes.. but no bananas, no oranges, no pineapples. And no durian - it's too heaty, she said. I am so looking forward to tomorrow. But before that, I had to get through a cup of ghee and another bowl of porridge at 4pm.
As expected, the cup of ghee was more than yesterday.
I optimistically tried to take more than one mouthful at a time in order to expedite it, but just started retching, so I went back to taking it slow. Eventually, I finished it and boy, was I glad to see the last of it.
Weight-wise, I weighed in at 135lb today. A loss of 1lb from yesterday. Not as much as previous days. Maybe it was breathing in all the delicious smells at the Japanese restaurant yesterday night. Still, it's a loss of 7.5lb from the first day, and I am quite happy to maintain this weight.
Tomorrow, I need to have breakfast first, then I go to the centre for an oil massage and a steam! That should be interesting.
