Day #25, 18.5 pounds left to lose, 41.5 pounds already gone for the year. God continues to bless. My energy level has been greatly increased over "normal" for me. I've been very productive at doing jobs that are actual "progress," meaning that they won't ever need to be done again, or not for a year or more. God has surprised me by not just enabling me to DO the fast, but for letting me to actually THRIVE while doing it!
Diet Coke was a bust yesterday. I think I'm going to shift my focus from how much DC I did or didn't have in a day, and concentrate, instead, on making sure that I DO get plenty of water. While I do know DC is bad for my body, eliminating it entirely just doesn't seem doable right now. Maybe after I finish the fast. For now, though, I'm going to stop reporting on my DC consumption, because it causes me to divert so much of my attention away from the fast. DC doesn't deserve my constant attention.
Kids had a great time in the pool yesterday - it got up to 95 degrees here. Praying that God would remove the thunderstorm warning for tomorrow afternoon so our friends from the community pool can come over as planned. The warning HAS gone down from 60% to 40%.
Hope everyone finds something that will delight and satisfy them as much as my green pole bean plants do for me. It makes me very happy to watch them grow, and to see the runners somehow finding the poles and climb upwards. Maybe I should find something else to grow at other times of the year, so I can continue to have that warm fuzzy feeling during the dreary times, as well.
