Daniel Fast - Day Six

June 15, 2013

Day Six

Saturday.  Busy day working in the yard, shopping, planning, getting in some family time.  My back feels much better. Tonight my legs are a little sore again and my ankle is bothering me. I don't feel anywhere as gross as I have the last few days, though.  Got in over 120oz of water today.

My husband let me know that he's going to be gone all next week...overnighting...with my son on a job.  That means I have a lot of food prep ahead of me for tomorrow. Got a double batch of pasta salad made up. One for our Father's Day outing tomorrow with his family and one to split for us for the week next week.

I'm hoping to send with them these items for their meals in the coming week: 
Vegie pasta salad
Taco style lentils with rice
Apple pie breakfast
Roasted potatoes and vegies
Breakfast cookies
Indian flatbread
Peanut butter and All Fruit
Raw vegies and hummus
Fresh fruit
Guacamole and Chimole (salsa)
A couple boxes of Triscuits for dipping
Some homemade oat crackers

I'm hoping this will fill their bellies while they work hard on this painting project. Josh has until Wednesday when he is done with his 10 days of the strict fast. He can decide after that if he wants to allow some eggs.  David isn't so sure he's going to like eating this way while working away from home. I'm hoping to have enough nourishment so it doesn't leave him wanting for more.

I'm looking around and found some new recipes to try. I'm noticing that everyone is getting tired of eating the same things. Hopefully I can change it up a bit while still keeping life simple.

We stopped and got a blender while out today. Enjoyed some yummy smoothies. I had one with frozen bananas, frozen strawberries, ice, and 2 tbs of dark chocolate cocoa powder. So yum! Another great treat to put on my keep list for after the fast.

I sorta feel bad we are on this fast as Father's Day approaches. I know it would be a real treat to make David a steak and grill some good stuff on the grill. He was waking today about foods we can grill. I'm thinking of vegies and potatoes on skewers and corn on the cob. Maybe we can fit that in tomorrow sometime. Our day is so full getting them ready for a week out of town.

Off to munch some popcorn with David and watch a movie after a very full day.
