We just came in from grocery shopping and Penny is at my feet just looking at me like" OK, MOM where is the chicken? We always eat hot grilled chicken when you come in the door form the store." " Not this time, Penny. One more hour and then we will eat. " I took my self out of temptations way, holding tight onto my 9 point star necklace and chanting " Baha'u'llah, Baha'u'llah, Baha'u'llah." Today was freezing, Again!! But I accept God wanted me to get some of that spiritual reading in today and that is what I did after my prayers, meditation and adding to my Baha'i Page. I finally finished " Falling Into Grace." That I put down long ago. I will be recommending it in my book section. Today was my first real test as far as the food fast goes. Although it really is a matter of habit more than physical hunger. I dozed a lot today-Getting up early is hard for me. My whole family are night owls- It's been hard trying to get to bed early and even when I am there by 10 PM - I'm usually still awake long after that. I was so sleepy this morning I just had a " health" muffin and tea for breakfast. Not really enough to carry me thru- and my tummy revolted as well. My friends already know I'm on a 7 month old new , healthy eating diet so I only eat 2 meals and one snack in 24 hrs anyway. But the timing is way different. I'm trying very hard to not eat again after my night meal. Not because of the fast but because I find myself overeating at dinner. Last night I was so full I ached- NOT GOOD! Yea- it was healthy food- but too much is too much. Well- I'm off to my space to meditate until dinner time.
