Fasting and Harrassing

Last week I made a conscious decision to partake in the Daniel Fast. I did not make this decision for purposes of weightloss. My spirit just said to do it so I dived in head first, but not before telling my life partner. He decided to participate in doing the fast with me. 

For all of you who do not know, the Daniel Fast consists of drinking only water, no sugar or natural sweetener intake, dairy or yeast. 

The more I read, the harder I thought it would be but with a great support system/ shopping buddy, things are looking up. First stop... Trader Joes! I would love to take a trip Whole Foods but it is too far out of the way ( if you haven't read, I work, go to school and am a mother of two). We bought plenty of organic fruits and peanut butter to have some type of protein without having to take more dietary supplements. For snacks we bought popcorn, tortilla chips and this great Trader Joe brand salsa. Humus and Smoked tofu along with marina sauce to eat with meatless tofu sausage made up our first two shopping trips. We only bought a couple of different tofus the first trips. Once we tasted them we bought more.

It has been an expensive journey. Fasting is harrassing my pockets but I am enjoying the journey.

Has anyone else fasted before? What were your reasons? Did you achieve your goals? 

Here are pictures from one of our first meals:
