21 days of no meat, no breads and no sweets, no soda nor juice. I chose to give those things up for 21 days. I made it to 20.5 days. I gotta say I’m proud of myself. I’ve never really done anything like this.  Reina and I took on this fast and didn’t know what to expect. It’s crazy how much we make food a comfort drug. It seemed like every food I decided to give up became exaggerated in my mind. A burger seemed twice as big and juicy. Wanted to try and cut as many corners as I could. Reina was tough. She stuck it thru!!!  On days when I was feelin down and out I kept thinking, if I can only have a  a huge steak!!!! Crazy eh? Went to the food first.  I learned alot in these 20.5 days. Alot about myself. My human and spiritual  mind and heart. The thought that I was willing to give it up so many days into the fast, for the pleasure of eating something, that probably wasn’t gonna be good for me to begin with and break my commitment.  I thought we’d never make it, but we did.

The day it ended I had a chicken philly cheese sandwich with a Coke…I gotta tell you. I felt disgusting! LOL. I have no desire for Coke like before, Nor starchy foods. I lost a few pounds and feel great. I am encouraged to stay healthy physically and spiritually. I recommend it!!! Take a challenge. It will show you alot about yourself and put so many things in prospective. And it sets you up for things you’ve been trying to do. Trust me.  I didn’t get a prize at the end, didn’t get a guarantee into the hall of faith, nor the things I’ve been hoping for. Nor an applause, But it did give me a glimpse of the new person I am becoming. Fresh start, fresh approach, fresh vision, and a fresh salmon steak I will have for dinner tonight
