I decided to write about my fasting as a method to encourage myself to finish it. I want to go across a 21 day fast. Yesterday I could make it and today, it goes very well. I'm not doing it to lose weight, although I'd like to lose some pounds but I do it because I want to be close to the Lord. I want him to throw the wall down, I want to get him! I want to be sensitive to His voice. Lord, could you help me?
For the last 2 months I have been going to a gym, it is one of my goals to be in good health and shape. I'm a dietitian and I want to give the example to others. Exercising is very important for so many things. Carbs are important when you work out but I get them from fruits and some milk since I don't have my starches. I thought I couldn't work out while fasting, but I don't want to lose the habit. Once I stop doing something good, it takes so much to get it back so I prefer to go on.
My menu yesterday for my fasting was:
Breakfast: 1 cup of melon + 1 banana (then I worked out hard at the gym)
1 banana
1 coffee + 120 ml of milk
1 egg
Snack: 1 handful of nuts
Lunch: chicken +shrimps with lots of veggies
1 coffee
7 grapes
Snack and supper: nothing
You and I are fasting for the same reason, to draw closer to the Lord. Although I would be happy to lose weight, that is not my goal with this fast either.
