The Daniel Fast

I'm encountering a new adventure in my life.  I will be doing the Daniel Fast for 1 week starting tomorrow.  Our church (Celebration) is doing a week of Prayer & Fast.

PRAYER:  To connect with God.
FAST:  To disconnect with the world.

I chose the Daniel Fast which will includes all vegetables, all fruits, all whole grains, nuts & seeds, legumes, quality oils and of course lots and lots of water.

Weekly Meal List.

PERSONAL GOALS:

• #1 to grow closer to God during this week through prayer.
• Experiment and try new things (juices and smoothies).
• Blog daily to track my process and stir up a conversation about it.

Today was prep day.  We heard the message from Pastor Joe this morning, I hand wrote out my list on what my meals would be for the week and then I carefully constructed our grocery list.  We purchased most of the bulk stuff at Costco, and the rest at HEB.  Here is our entire grocery list:

• Frozen Strawberries
• 34 Apples
• Frozen mixed berries
• 1 zucchini
• Almonds
• 1 Cucumber
• Kale
• Blueberries
• 2 Green Apples

  

  Fridge full of fruits & veggies.

• 1 Avocado
• 1 Lime
• Whole Wheat Tortillas
• 7 Pear
• Strawberries
• 6 Organes
• Granola
• 9+ Bananas
• 15 cups Spinach
• Green Grapes
• 10 Celery
• 5 Lemon
• 4 Carrots
• Popcorn (all natural, no added sugars or ingredients)
• All natural peanut butter

I am all stocked up and ready to go for the week!  It's great to see our fridge totally stuffed with fruits and vegetables.  I also set up a nice "snack station" with fruit that doesn't need to be refrigerated, popcorn and nuts readily available.  This way I don't even need to open our pantry for anything.  I'll be blogging daily, stay tuned...
