Health Fasting and Faith Fasting

Yesterday's treats:

- 1/2 pound of Italian sausage, four eggs scrambled
- Smoked almonds, two ham slices (rolled up with cheese slices)
- Dinner
- Cheats: Three individual Cheez-Its (loaded cheesy taco flavor), peanut butter and honey rolled up in a flour tortilla

So I've decided to shift from an eating window between 11am and 7pm to eating between 6am to 2pm.  I'm doing this for a few reasons, 1) it's easier to plan and prepare breakfast food than dinner food, and 2) trying to eat with the family when they are not following my diet.  Planning a dinner that my kids will want to eat and that I can also share is a day-after-day challenge.  Sometimes it can work out nicely, but most often not.  Eventually, I would like to get down to a 8am to 2pm or 7am to 1pm schedule.

In our church, we fast for two meals or twenty-four hours once a month.  The purpose of this fast is for spiritual enrichment as well as donating money as a fast offering for helping those in need.  Typically, Fast Sunday is the first Sunday of the week, but due to our world-wide General Conference on April 5th, Fast Sunday will be tomorrow.  The prophet, Russell M. Nelson, has asked everyone to fast for relief from the COVID-19 pandemic.  I think I just might fast all day tomorrow, and start my new schedule on Monday morning.
