Brenna, Nic, Hi! Thanks for the post...you are the first adventurer(s) to do so! Yes, Alanna and I agree that it is important to start paying attention to what you consume. Food seems to be all around us, but real food, seems increasingly difficult to come by. In Defense of Food is brilliant - after taking in Polan's ideas you can't help but be fired up about going back to real food rather than continue to soak in a sea of processed foods, GMO's, and high-fructose corn syrup!!!
Today I woke up feeling good. Though the headaches persist, the excitement of living in this simpler way felt invigorating. This was the first day where I sensed that it was no longer purely a mental battle over whether or not to continue and instead felt a tug to worship and ask for the Lord's movement in this tiny space created by my divestiture from luxury eating. In context, this fast seems infuriatingly small - and I say infuriating because it is taking so much effort to open up such a small space, I almost feel silly.
Everyone stay strong! God is in this and even if it feels like it is going nowhere, He will faithfully change us, lead us, and make something amazing out of our little leap of faith. I just know it!
Blessings all,
A.G.
