Daniel Fast - Day Two

June 11, 2013

Day Two - Woke with the worst headache and I've been fighting it all day.  I've been back and forth with nausea as well.  This caffeine detox is rough.

Took my blood sugar after breakfast (fried rice and vegies) and it was 126 at one hour.  Took it before lunch, when I was feeling awful and it was 86.

Still fighting a headache and the horrible draw to take an afternoon nap.  Decided to blog a bit while my head pounds.  Thinking I'm going to hit the medicine cabinet for some relief. Pretty sure Tylenol isn't on the Daniel Fast, but something has to give. I have a family to tend.

Tonight's dinner is Winter Lentil Vegetable soup. That will be yummy on a cold, rainy day.  We have an ice cream social tonight.  That will be tough for my nine year old to resist. I'm letting her choose whether she'll stick to the fast or not. ;)

*Made some Oatmeal crackers. Two versions. One with cinnamon (no sugar) and one with onion/garlic/dill.  Huge success! Served the cinnamon crackers with natural peanut butter and all fruit topping. Served the onion-dill to the little girls with cream cheese. (they are modified, so eating some dairy and eggs)  Saving the onion-dill to serve with our Lentil soup tonight. (That's looking and smelling lovely simmering on the stove as well. :)

*Back from the Bright Lights meeting tonight.  Skipped the ice cream treat and shared a banana with my oldest daughter tonight on the way home. Chatted so much, I didn't even miss the ice cream.  I was surprised that Ruth, my 9yo, decided to skip the ice cream, too, and stay true to our fast. :)
