Today is day 5 of our Daniel Fast. It's going well and we've become more adventurous. It'ss interesting. I am definitely not getting hungry very often. This kind of food keeps me full from a huner standpoint, but I find I am missing foods that I really like to eat. And more than missing food, I am REALLY REALLY REALLY missing coffee. I haven't had any coffee since last Friday morning, so I am now officially off of it, but I miss it A LOT.
I still need to work on the whole hunger thing a little better. I DO want to wait until I am hungry to eat-- something to keep working on.
Nick is a trooper. He's finding out he has more food issues than he thought. :)
I think this is a worthwhile exercise for us and I am really glad we are doing it. We're nearly a fourth of the way done.
IN other news-- MAN, having 3 kids is a lot of work. I don't mean to sound like a complainer, but this is much harder than I imagined it to be. I am sort of a "roll with it" kind of gal, but having 3 small kids is really taking me to the limits of what I am capable of. I think the extra needs that Nico (and Josiah for that matter) has have made life very challenging at times. Through it all though, I am grateful for them. I love them to pieces (that's a weird expression), and to quote the very wise Adrianne Bow, "someday my kids will be gone and my house will be clean and that will make me sad." So... I guess we just keep on keepin' on.
More later...
