Spiritually.
Emotionally.
Physically.
Mentally.
In light of my focus towards renewal, yesterday I began Day #1 of a 30 Day Fast/Feast. Yes, it's an oxymoron. But yes, in fasting in regards to food, you have the opportunity to feast spiritually.Now I do not follow any extreme do this/don't do that rules when I embark on a season of fasting. I still drink coffee. I am not a slave to the juicer. I will drink protein/instant shakes. I AM in love with our Nutri Ninja and use it several times a day. In a nutshell, I stick with something similar to a full liquid eating plan while in this season. Some days it's pretty light with the broths and juices. Other days I need a bit more substance. So for an idea of what is pretty normal for me, here's what I ate yesterday:
Breakfast: Chia seeds soaked overnight in coconut milk, then blended with some flax seed, coconut oil, and a shake packet of dark chocolate Carnation Instant Breakfast, which I warmed and ate with a spoon out of a mug. Oh yeah, and a cup of black coffee.
Lunch: Two cups of leftover ham, vegetable, and bean soup (with some extra broth) put through the Nutri Ninja until smooth. Morning vitamins (which I forgot to take at breakfast).
Afternoon Snack: 1 mug full of blended coffee (coffee, coconut oil, unsalted butter, and half-and-half).
Supper: Tomato soup and jasmine green tea.
Throughout the day: 88 ounces of water, multiple cups of herbal tea, and many trips to the bathroom to account for all the liquid!!
As for the spiritual side of things, I am reading through Psalm 119 and James. No digging in deep today, but just reading through these two passages for an overview, as I plan to focus on these more during the next thirty days. When the stomach gets to rumbling, I grab my water and my Bible. I know from the past, the first 3 days are typically the hardest so send me good thoughts and prayers!
Watch for a Day 2 update tomorrow!
Blessings,
Debbie
