Friday
Fasting for me was not great. I found myself starving the last 30 minutes of the fast but I held out until the exact minute my fast was over, which was 11:30 a.m. By 11:31, I had found something in my office to eat. Unfortunately, I was selling candy bars for my church and this Kit-Kat was challenging me all day until I finally gave in. After that, I decided that I could no longer sell the candy bars because I didn't want that kind of temptation and I didn't want to pay $30 for candy bars.
I regret not utilizing the spiritual aspect of the fast like it was intended.
I don't think I ate too bad today. I kept feeling like I should splurge on eating because it felt like I was eating the last supper, at least before the meal plan. I just had to remind myself, that this is what I wanted and I'm not depriving myself but taking a step towards eating to live and not living to eat.
My meals for today included:
7:30 a.m.- apple cider vinegar and 8 oz water and 16 oz cup of orange juice
11:31 a.m.- Kit-Kat candy bar
11:50- turkey sandwich, small bag of whole grain chips & 1% milk
6:30 p.m.- fish sandwich from Long John's Silver w/ a large lemonade
How Do I Feel? Today, I feel drained of energy. I feel like I've been running around all week and it's time for me crash!

Don't beat yourself up, you did a great job with the fast! You may think you suffered during the last 30 minutes but it's all about getting closer to God. Good Job! Keep Up the good work and I will see you at Boot Camp.
