Well, today I woke up with more energy and have felt good all morning. I've had a lot people ask me if I really don't feel hungry and I can truthfully answer that I don't. If you look into it you are still consuming about 1200 calories a day just through the lemonade so your body does not go into starvation mode. I have never "fasted" for this long and I never really thought that it would be possible to do but now I realize that it is. I believe that it can be harder for women to fast at times. A lot of women have sugar problems during a fast along with dizziness or feeling light headed, making it difficult to function properly. So this is a very healthy way to do a spiritual fast as well. You are still denying your body food and the diet is very bland but you can avoid the weakness so you are able to fast for a longer period of time. For those who have had difficulty in the past when trying to fast over something it's an idea anyways :)
I have a lot that I am wanting to accomplish today as it is the last day of Spring Break and then we'll be back to our regular home school schedule. So I'm hoping this energy holds up and I can breeze through it.
