Day 4

Well today shall be a full day.

I'll let you know right now, I will be sorta kinda breaking my fast. Sorta. See, Willy and I have to go tasting at a Mexican place that may do our wedding catering. I'm not going to eat entire meals, though, just tiny bites. I know god will forgive me, because he knows just how much hell I'm going through in planning this wedding. ;) But for any of you reading this, trust me, this will harm more than help. Because eating a tiny bit is going to start up my metabolism, and I will be in hunger pain for the rest of the day. *sigh*

This is the only time I will eat during the day during Lent. I won't be doing any more taste testing until after Easter. I swears. I also have to go and do some shopping this afternoon for makeup and clothes and ingredients for fake blood. Why? We have a photo shoot tomorrow, yaaay! So I need to dress accordingly.

I am also going to note right here that no, I do not expect to lose weight by fasting this way, and no, I really have not lost ANY weight. The only change I've noticed is an increase of pain during the day, and a less "heavy" feeling. I wonder if after another week of this, I'll see other differences? Giving up animal products is hard and strange.

Also expect the cable guy to come in and fix our cable problem. Somethings up with the splitter, and even after we replaced it, it still won't let us watch tv and be on the internet at the same time. Stupid Comcast.

Day 3 (Cont.)

Today went very well. My only slip up (which isn't really a slip-up?) was when I bought juice during lunch. I should have known better than to have trusted it, because it was one of those crappy juice mixes that had high fructose corn syrup. -_- I do not want corn in my carrot juice, thank you. Douchebags.

Anyhow, before coming home I stopped off to buy a few things to make my fasting easier. I got some salmon for tomorrow's dinner, and tonight I made a white bean soup with tomatoes and onions and carrots. It really was good, so here's me posting the recipe!

- 1 box of Swanson's vegetable broth
- 2 cans of white beans
- 1 can of diced tomatoes
- 1 can of carrots
- 1/2 an onion
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 2 cups water
- salt/pepper to taste

This made a lot of soup so I kept the rest for later meals, and for Willy to eat when he's hungry. It's all vegan and very easy to make, plus it makes the house smell delicious. :)
