...post-fast Reflections (part 2) by caa522 .....

A continuation of my reflection. I've spent a few hours in bed alone with God and my thoughts. I have another 4 hours so I may just get to part 3. =)

11:11 am
May 6 (5+6=11)
63F 33-steps on pedometer app (on phone)

Again numbers affirming my current thoughts.
Haha just looked at my laptop and batt charge is 65% (6+5=11).

I feel peace. Amazing how much that means to me. Nothing on the outside has changed. Not one thing. Whatever "problems" I believe to have has not changed. I am the same mother and wife, daughter, sister, etc. Every single thing in this worldly experience EXTERNALLY has not changed. Only what is going on inside me has. From this I have peace. How often can I truly say I experience this in a day, a week, a month. Not enough for sure. Peace and love, I know this is really what I live for. I must be doing something right to be at peace. Well, I could think of a long list of things to do today. But I choose to lay all things aside for at this moment for myself I feel nothing is more important than relishing in peace. In quiet I shall savor it. Lay down all the ideas and tasks I have believed that "I MUST" or "I SHOULD" do. I have 4 hours till my first kid pick up today. 4 hours I am at peace. Free of conflict or judgment. I am in bed just feeling like I am basking in the light of love from my Heavenly Father. Grateful of this knowing right here and now...moved to tears of joy. All is well. I feel whole. Complete. FREE.

===========================================

Another late update:

Fasted from solids much of the day and replenished with water mixed with minerals & vitamins. I probably drank maybe 3-4 glasses before I had the 2 light meals at 3pm and 7pm. The first light meal was 1/4 cup chopped organic basil, 5 grape tomatoes, a few slivers of red onion, 1T (probably less) oil/vinegar. The next meal was 1 C. Chinese cabbage (napa), 1T. ACV & 1t. Asian dressing, 1 pack seaweed, 1/4 c. chicken. Ohhh and throw in 1 taquito. My boys asked me to heat up some for them and I just felt like having one. In between those meals I had 11 raw organic almonds and 2T pecans. Frankly, I'm not into measuring my food but just to provide info for the reader I'm including it. I usually get a general sense of what I eat by eyeballing things.

I wasn't planning on it buuuuut went to the gym (I'll explain in my next post) for short sauna and intervals on the treadmill. I actually tried to go up to 7.5 for a minute. That is pretty fast! Much of the 20 minutes go like this. I warm up for 2 minutes at 3.3 then go to 6.0 for 2 minutes then 7.0 for a minute. I just repeat that cycle over except that one time I tried 7.5. The only thing I kept thinking was not to lose my footing. I'm more concerned about safety so I really stay laser focused when going that fast. Some of these HIIT programs want you to go to 9.0. Yeah as much as I am curious to know what that would feel like, I'm not even going to risk my safety. I don't think there would be a massive huge difference in benefit for me to go that fast.

I felt pretty good the rest of the night. I haven't been to any yoga classes since last week =( so I tried to do some light stretching and foam rolling before getting to bed at 11:30pm.
