I had none of this for the past forty-eight hours:
But I did have this:
And plenty of this:
Two days… not too shabby. Two days is a huge feat for me. I fasted, having two snacks during the day that did not equal a meal (per our priest; not mandatory, mind you), and a modest meal in the evening.
I did get a bit crabby right after lunch but water and/or a piece of fruit took care of that. That mood is understandable considering I am surrounded by kids all day. Perhaps at the end of these forty days my mood will be, “I did get a second wind right after lunch which is understandable considering I am surrounded by kids all day.” Any wagers, anyone?

What are you giving up?
I gave up going to Starbucks, huge feat for me since I went from several times a week to, in the last month, once a week.
I tried to give up red meat, diet soda, and chocolate. I was successful for… oh, two days, lol! On those days I successfully fasted as well. Unfortunately I have caught some sort of bug so I will be trying again. Thanks for the encouragement!
Because of my surgery, I have had to permanently give up all sodas (diet and regular). It has been hard.
