Anyway, our church did a corporate fast at the 1st of the year. It was a 21 day fast, and we took part. Some people did the Daniel fast (that is not our church web site), but we were less brave than that. We both gave up meat and alcohol and separately I gave up all sweets, ie. Starbucks coffees, cookies, candy, sodas etc, and Jim gave up bread. WE MADE IT THROUGH!!! We were both very strong but it was a sacrifice. I think it got us talking to eachother more about our faith and what we believe and it definitely made me pray more.
Needless to say on January 21st we went to a church service to celebrate our fast and then Jim and I broker our fast by eating some In and Out, man it was the best In and out I had EVER had!!!
In case you were wondering we both lost near five lbs. for the 21 days, not much in my book, but not bad for no exercise. Also, I am over my 3 times a week Starbucks and needing to have soda with every meal. Hopefully that will be a life change I can stick with.

WOW! 21 days! That is huge. I was just thinking about fasting recenetly and that I should research it. I've been eating a bunch of crap lately and think I need to detox or something. I thought people might think I was crazy. Giving up coffee would be VERY hard for me!
Congrats to both of you!
looks yummy. You guys did great. I'm sure you are feeling better too!
Keep up the good work.
