I will be fasting this weekend. I will go to lunch here shortly and not eat again until Sunday afternoon. It will be about a 48 hour fast. I do this to remind myself of the things I am priveleged to have such as food, home, clothing, electricity, etc.. I also do it in remembrance of homeless people who died while suffering & starving. I have also been in a dark place and am emerging from that anew. I am looking forward to this and it is very much needed to re-focus my energy and restore some balance I've lost track of these last few weeks.
Other than that, things are well in my little corner of the world. Work is a bear! In two weeks that will subside and I can breathe again, looking forward to that. :)
Ok sounds good!! (I may not be saying that after the first couple days). Works out perfectly because my anniversary is on September 11th (he better not forget that date I tell yah!!!!) and I'm sure I'll have a diet slip up the night before...but I think it'll be counteracted with a little bit of cardio ;) ;) haha...Soooo september 12th it is!
ReplyDeleteMake sure to stay hydated (I don't want you to get dehydrated and sick!)! And enjoy your fast <3
ReplyDeleteI second the STAY VERY WELL HYDRATED thing, and don't do anything strenuous. Let it be a calm, relaxing time to ponder and dream and be.
ReplyDeleteSee you soon.
Good luck with the fast! I look forward to hearing how it goes. It seems like you're doing it for a very good cause, and I'll be very interested in hearing what you take away from the fasting experience, should you decide to share!
ReplyDeleteI tried to fast once and became a horrible monsterous beast to everyone and then almost knawed my own arm off so I gave up in three hours ;)
ReplyDeletehaha, good luck my dear!
Oh thanks for checking in. I drink a TON of filtered water while fasting. I also allow for one mug of hot herbal tea in the morning and in the evening before bed. Sunday afternoon I'll have some fresh fruit and maybe a yogurt just to reintroduce something to my stomach other than water. It's a wonderful thing, I do this a couple times a year.
ReplyDeleteGL drink lots of fluids.
ReplyDeleteWow! I'm glad you posted this. I've been thinking about fasting for 24 hours but I'm not sure if I could handle it. I get grouchy after 5 hours of not eating. LOL
ReplyDeletePlease let us know how it's going. I'm hungry now just thinking about it. LOL
Good luck!
Hope all goes well! Let us know how it goes! May your fast give you focus and the clear air you are hoping for.
ReplyDeleteWOW... VERY impressive. Not sure I could fast, but I wish you success!
ReplyDeleteA fast - not sure I could do that. Good luck!
