Day 43 of my 90-day program was very peaceful. I was able to complete another fast, this time 24 hrs. I had a stomach ache that made it really easy not to eat, it passed during the day. I slept really well and woke up with plenty of energy. I didn't make any progress with weight loss, however, I am in a good place mentally to get after it this week.

My reflections: Holidays and 3-day weekends are great opportunities to gather with family and that means eating. The problem is that my family is all sick and we got that way from all this eating. I did not take responsibility for my health in the past. I looked forward to every chance to eat foods that were not good for me. I lost track of how many plates of bbq picnic food I've eaten over the years. They are all "triggers" for me.

So, I chose to diet this weekend and managed 2 fasts. It was not fun, but I needed it. Today, I feel really good about my choice. Can I enjoy a summer without foods that make me sick? I am determined to at least try, but I'm aware the best laid plans do not always go correctly. Anyway, I hope we all can do what we have to do and still enjoy each and every day. It's really hard, no doubt.

Today, I will pray for those things that truely bring happiness for everyone.
