Trying to get that old feeling…routine.

I have to remember again to take my BP and post my weigh-in. I’m trying to cut way back so that I can get another fast started. My neighbor just completed a ten-day fast following a book I believe his father used. He looks so good and he glows. I have to say I’m addicted to the effects of fasting that’s for sure. If there weren’t so many contradictive books out there I’d probably follow fasting all the way to my weight loss goals. I don’t think of Fasting as purely a weightloss goal, but it’s the healthiness of cleansing your body that I enjoy. It’s just the nay saying junk has been hammered into my head most of my life. I remember just after my first year of college away from my family when I lost massive weight from exercise and eating primarily salads (because the private college I attended saved money by providing salad bars and loads of starchy foods-very little meat.) oh yeah, I also attended chapel every day during lunch to pray (I was planning on becoming a nun back then and it was so peaceful. It was one of the few places I could think and talk to God easier. Okay long way around the fact my grandfather and grandmother thought I was in danger of becoming anorexic because I had lost my desire for meat. When you grow up in a family of Southerners where food is the glue that holds everyone together not eating everything offered is pure sacrilege! Ah! You can’t tell me environment doesn’t shape people; I’m proof that it does! Anyways it’s fall and time for a change and a little fast. I think I’ll start out with 5 days not 10 like my neighbor, but detoxing will be the goal so I might include some herbs to help things along. I can’t wait. I’m trying to get the perishables used up in the fridge first. But May not get that done because I definitely want to start this week. I have so many serious prayers to meditate on so fasting will lend extra energy to that. Well, I’m out of here but at least I posted some numbers. Oh tomorrow I start back to posting what’s eaten, got to go now.
