Day Nineteen
Super great day! Started with a fantastic time in the Word. So much to speak to my heart. So much for me to seek, dig, search, explore. So many ways the Lord wants to reveal to us right where we are, right where we struggle, right where are questions leave us. I'm so grateful for such a mighty, loving God that leads me.
Ended my day under on calories and super happy with my food choices. We tried a new recipe, Sweet Potato Chili tonight. It was..ummm...good. Sweet. The recipe called for adding brown sugar and I can't even imagine doing that! The children loved it, so it's another keeper.
I'm working on making a meal and menu plan for the coming month. I'm pulling recipes and ideas from Dr. Furhman's book as well as things we've enjoyed from the Daniel fast and our own collections. This is fun, but I have a LONG list of recipes to try now! It may take me a while to get it all planned out on paper. Hey, at least we won't get bored of the same meals every week.
I'm still hoping to get a little more time to spend in prayer and reading and journaling. Today filled up too much with other things, so I didn't get the time I was hoping for. I did get in a great walk with my husband, though, and some good time on the Wii after dinner as well. Exercise is once again enjoyable. I'm having such a great time on the Wii Fit again.
I'm down almost 2 pounds in the last couple of days! Wow! Now I really do wish I had weighed in when I started this fast. This is the first time in a long time I've seen the scale going down. I wonder what I really was up to a few weeks ago. Scary.
One thing I am super looking forward to when this fast ends: Sleepytime tea. I have such a hard time getting to sleep when I exercise in the evenings. I feel so great, it's hard to settle down for bed.
i also have insomnia during the detox period of ETL. i wonder if there might be caffiene in my fat cells!
