Day 1 Of the 21 day Daniel fast

I actually started last night buy using my eyeliner and writing myself a note to pray in the morning. It helped so much because just as I said I woke up late, I didn't sleep well anyways, between my pain and and daughter waking up for milk at 5 am it was a ling night. I woke up at 7 am and was running when i hit the floor. Hit the shower and as I was showering remembered my note about the praying. I lifted my hand to the sky and prayed for the Lord to use my eyes, ears, mouth, and feed to follow his lead. I asked for strength in the 21 day fast because he knows if anyone does I don't follow plans well.

After, my pre-madonna princess breakdowns about the colors of her hair bows and where she wanted to go verses where she was going to go today Carlee and I made it out the door. Off to daycare she went without a tear once we were in the car. I headed out of town and drove through a Sonic, you may think this would be hard, but nope I remembered the had bananas, so I got 2 and a ice water with lemon. Both really good. I was a few minutes late for work but had a great day, only worked til noon and had to come home at noon because I was hurting so bad.

Dinner was good I looked up meal plans and found a chili that sounded great so below is what we had:

Vegetarian Chili

2 medium-sized green peppers, chopped

1 medium-sized yellow onion, chopped

1 zucchini, sliced-----

1 yellow squash, sliced---- i used frozen

2 tablespoons salad oil

2 tablespoons chili powder

¾ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon ground red peppers

2 cups corn kernels (fresh or frozen)--- i used frozen

2 16 oz. cans tomatoes (juice and all)

2 16 oz. cans pinto beans (juice and all)

2 16 oz. cans black beans (juice and all)

1 4 oz. can mild green chilies

1 4 oz. can of tomato paste


Chop and sauté in oil the peppers and onions. Add the sliced squashes, chili powder, salt, ground red peppers, and corn. When all the vegetables are soft but still firm, add the tomatoes, all the beans, the green chilies, and the tomato paste. Stir until just blended.

Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat. Let simmer for 20 minutes stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Yield: 6 generous servings



I am not going to lie it was not bad at all, I was pretty amazed at how good it was. Definitely have to try it. Not a hard day. I have ordered to cookbook from the local Mardel to help in the next 20 days thought I can see this getting harder. I bought lots of veggies and decided to not go so hard core, I am drinking juices at night with dinner and water all day just so I don't get burnt out and give up.

and almonds for a snacks tonight............. yum

I also decided to start listening to only the Christian radio stations in my car for the time I am on the fast to help strengthen my mind and spirit.
