Second Day

Gotta love the originality of my titles so far. So what happens the second day? It is 8:30 pm and I do have a headache. And of course a bit of an aching tummy. And since I have been fairly early on in Chiropractic adjustments my hips are sore too. Over all this has been a good day though. I think mainly because we were busy from early on. I did have some food challenges to navigate which probably goes without saying and my kids were finally on to me at one point when I refused to eat their nachos and cheese after church from the lunch concession.
We went to a movie late afternoon (Sherlock Holmes)where I normally would eat popcorn or SOMETHING but made sure my sons popcorn was in the holder to his right while I sat at his left.
The biggest hurdle by far was making eggrolls for dinner which I had bought ingredients for last week before we the fast decision was made. I was going to refuse when the request to have them TONIGHT was made actually. I decided to keep it to a very simple chicken only version for the kids because really, they are not fasting and neither are the cats or the dog so food was in order for them all. And I indulged myself in drinking chicken broth from boiling the chicken.  Simple things taste pretty good when you haven't eaten in over 24 hours. So enjoying that seemed like cheating a bit.
One huge difference in this fast is that Marty and I are fasting together.
We both had been feeling a leading to do so and decided Sat am upon that discussion and following a program on fasting which I had turned off before it was over Friday pm but was on Sat morning again. (I had actually prayed and told the Lord I was sorry I had turned it off and wished I had heard it through...How funny that it was on again so I could listen through...hmmm)
Tomorrow promises to be a busy day too. That will either help or perhaps be harder since it is day 3 without solids. None of this is for any pat on my back. I just wanted to log it in a real way while before God through the day about things...Like the marriage seminar we want to bring to our community for one...Some how it helps me to know people are real while walking it out...
