And so, as I write I am here, with my Caffeine free tea at my side and my soothing music playing from Pandora (Whitney is singing "Saving all my love") ready to blog my 28 day fasting experience..(deep breath in)
But first I must rant (just a bit)...
Okay, so in addition to the food portion of my fasting experience I also like to fast from other things; now as we all know there is a certain "Book" that most of us are very tied to...Well yesterday during Church service at Concord (which by the way is DA BOMB!!!) Pastor Carter said, and I quote "maybe some of us should spend less time on Facebook and more time in HIS book....
Now, if you ever think that God does not speak I have proof. I had been trying to figure out what else I needed to fast from and I received the answer while I was in the balcony at Concord Baptist Church.
So, me being the person that I am, I decide to alert my Facebook "friends" that I will be saying adios to facebook for 28 days, I do however let them know that I will be blogging as I fast (just like I did last year)..
OMG! You would have thought I said that I was Osama Bin Laden! But the one comment that just really kept getting on my nerves was "isnt blogging the same thing as facebook?" Uh...no! (or maybe I am wrong...hm...Is blogging the same thing as Facebook?" ) At any rate, I will not be logging in to facebook or "the twitters" during this 28 day period. It is amazing too, how many times I have picked up my phone with the intention of checking...sigh...down with cyber socializing lol!!!
.........anyway I am really expecting big things for me as I come out on the other side of this. I have even written my affirmations, and meditations out to assist with my process, the purpose is to really transform my thought processes positively.(more on that later), but I will tell you that, in addition to committing to my fasting and committing to getting up at 4:45 am Monday - Friday to work out, I am also committed to maintain my blog, I will also update the look and feel...This I vow!!!
so...here we go:
Day 1
Woke up on my own at 4:44am, literally one minute before my alarm went off, so I sat there and looked at my phone and waited until 4:45am to get up, I needed that minute. I went to work out and saw the cutest thing ever, an elderly couple working out together.
The only thing that I could think is I want someone to grow old with.
That's right folks I am putting it out there and making it real.
I could envision Memaw and Papa going to bed at 7:00pm the night before and waking up at 4:00am getting dressed to go work out and I felt a tug at my little heart strings, which is a good thing because it means I have one lol!
Anywho, when I got home I made my special morning drink and began my day, for breakfast, mixed fresh fruit and almonds, for lunch, a homemade mega salad. Tonight I WILL work out and my goal is to go without the television... and of course, I will continue on my journey to "fit the pieces together"...stay tuned...
Be Well
xoxo
