Note: So much Fiber today! I still use my fitnesspal to log, but since I’m not focusing on calories, I won’t post them here. It’s quite a little amount for what I ate. I was supposed to go to the weight room today, but because of homework I didn’t have time. I haven’t worked out for quite a while, to be honest. Hopefully I’ll have time next week.

21 days of prayer & fasting

There’s a bit of tradition we do at my church called “21 days of prayer & fasting” to represent how Daniel fasted 21 days as well in the past. I’m a little late on posting it, but I started on September 29 and am still going strong. 

Basically for the praying part, you just make sure to remember to save time at night for some alone time with you and God, just through prayer and reading the Bible. It’s something I already do every day, but just focusing on it more is making me feel great about myself.

For the fasting part, for 21 days you’re supposed to have no meat the entire day. It isn’t much, (I’m basically just being vegetarian) but the first time I did this was back in Dec-Jan, and it was what started up my eating healthy in the first place. I love being able to compare how hard it was for be back then, to how easy it seems to be for me now.

And if anyone wants to join me, go on right ahead! It didn’t have to necessarily start on Sept. 29, so if you want to start now it’s fine. It’s only not necessarily meat. You can do rice, bread, or really anything you think is worth giving up for God. And if you’re not religious, I understand. So if you want to do this for strictly diet purposes as well, go on right ahead.

Yay for Zumba classes!

Had a Zumba class around 11 today and my instructor said I did great! It was only my 3rd time doing a live Zumba class and my 1st time with her as an instructor. We had a nice chat after class about eating healthy & working out. She also said she loves my height, ‘cause she’s always wanted to be 5’9” and I should be proud of what I have.

I usually only take Zumba every other Saturday, but I just might start taking it every day. =)

And because of my hard earned progress, I treated myself to some Hazelnut milk tea boba and lunch @ Tapex.
