I am rounding out the end of the first week of the Daniel Fast. Last night was so tough. I made a potato soup recipe from the Daniel Fast Cookbook, and I gagged when I tasted it. I just didn't like it. The fatigue from having no caffeine, no sweets, no Diet Cokes, has been excruciating. And then, I didn't like my own dinner. I paused, Lane prayed for me and my frustration. And I ate some strawberries.
On a positive note... this has been great to discover what is in the foods that we typically eat. For instance, I opened a can of kidney beans only to realize that they have high fructose corn syrup. That was crazy to me, to think that something supposedly healthy had something so bad for you. After the fast is complete, I will still stay in the habit of more closely checking the food labels.
Tonight, we are having a Taco Salad - romaine lettuce, black beans, corn, seasoning, guacamole. I think tonight will be a winner!
