Fasting and Exercise
Hi everyone,
I just had a quick question. My church is going on a fast for the month of February. We are to not eat food from 12am - 6pm. I really want to participate to grow spiritually but exercising on an empty stomach doesn't seem logical. What do you think? Maybe I should exercise after 6pm.... Has anyone ever tried it. |
Sunday

:wave: "WELCOME" to our thread DIVINEFAVOR, I wish There was something I could do to help you, but I am really thinking you need to maybe ask someone professional... like your Dr. or your Pastor as far as fasting & exercising goes. Is it an absolute fast (no beverages)? If, not maybe you can have protein drinks to keep up your energy level while fasting. I don't think you should be exercising otherwise, it may cause muscle damage. See if you can have protein drinks, okay. I know that Wal-Mart sells Atkins protein drinks (in the vitamin section) at a very reasonable price if you need to get some. I wish you well on your fast, DIVINE... do be careful and don't be afraid to ask your Pastor questions. ******* :wave: A very Good Afternoon to everyone! We have another Beautiful SUNNY :sunny: day today! You should see the way the trees glisten from the snow & ice on them in the sunshine --- just so beautiflul! It was a wonderful drive home from church this morning. Joe stayed to give blood at the blood-drive in the church hall, I couldn't because I was ill with the flu this week. I will next time. Hope everyone is having a GREAT SUNDAY so far... who's gonna be watching the game today & having a superbowl party?? For my father & brother, Joe & I will be cheering on the Patriots!!! No party - just us ;) http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/1099.gif Go Patriots!! "Where is everybody??? Olly - Olly - Oxenfree! Come out, Come out where-ever you are?" :lol: |
Superbowl Sunday
:cool:
HAPPY SUPERBOWL SUNDAY GALS! Just taking a few minutes to check in, worked yesterday, came home and had burgers then off to church for Saturday night service. We thought it would be a good time to go Sat. night then grocery shop this morning before the game. Just finished putting all the goodies in the pot for bean and ham soup for tomorrow night- supposed to be rainy and stormy here then. It is an incredible day right now! in the high 60's and sunny as can be- Angie is out planting more african daiseys on the bank. She went running this morning, came back home and while she was stretching I noticed that she sweat more than usual by the looks of her tank top and shorts- she said she did because it was cold outside and she left her jacket on the entire 3.5 miles- I laughed and said "Don't tell our 3FC friends it was cold after what they are going through" she said just to say the windchill was 59 degrees- just don't mention it was a + 59 :lol: Just to keep you all informed and thanking for the prayers- My Vicar's dad is getting advice tomorrow on when to get surgery for his tumor- they say it is probably 5 years old so another couple of months won't matter-- the best news now!! is they don't feel it is life threating in any way!! God is good. SUNNYD Hi dear- I am pretty much watching the game alone too-- I don't mind at all- had other offers but didn't want to-- son is going to a big party and maybe my step-d, daughter is watching with all the boy and girl tennis folks at school so just me and Ron here-- Angie will sneak a peek now and then between reading a good book probably. Have to say that even though I don't care much who wins-- THE ONLY TEAM THAT SHOULD EVER WIN THE SUPERBOWL IS THE RAIDERS!!! I am pulling for the Panthers- the underdog and their coach has strong San Diego ties-- plus that is the mascot of my Alma Mater!! Panthers. DIVINE FAVOR I agree with Sunny and the advice for your fast/exercise. My I ask why you are fasting? Is that for the entire month? Welcome. MICHELE- All right-that's it--YOU ARE A PLAYER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope you had a great time with John last night. Dinner was burgers last night, Angie making flank steak tonight-- I mentioned I had bean and ham soup on the stove for tomorrow-- should I set another place for you? ;) WILMA- Are you looking forward to the empty nest? I wasn't but now as the kids get older I am looking forward to some changes in my life without having to worry about them--- nephew won't be even 18 for 5 more years though. That is great news on the tutoring by your son, tell him I am proud of him-- I know how hard it is to reach some of these kids. Since you aren't jealous of the girlfriends- PUT THEM TO WORK :lol: :lol: SPROUT GREAT JOB at Curves!! Prayers for you and your son!! SAMI I think Ashli had that ASABL flu-- as soon as the bus leaves I'm better flu :lol: I used to get that!! Now it's the ASAAL flu- as soon as Angie leaves ;) We did get our camera back this week- good as new- will have to send pictures soon. We paid to have it shipped and the took care of the repair and re-shipping (FUJI) . No complaints here on the service. Angie has been wanting a golden retriever for some time- me, I am against the trouble of a dog, now that we haven't had one in some time, I really don't want another-- she showed me a picture of a couple of Yorkipoo's- puppies--I AM IN LOVE!!!!!!!!!!! I have always said if we got another dog it would be a Yorki- Angie wants a BIG dog to run with- we shall see, she was also looking at Labradoodle and a goldendoodle-- strange names but cute. Well I think I have posted to all the new post and the rest of you don't get NUTIN until you post again :lol: :lol: HAVE A GREAT SUPERBOWL DAY-- Just remembered back in '70 on SuperBowl Sunday morning I rolled my car, I had just bought it, 2 years old, and was still on my permit-- going too fast in the rain. Thank-God none of the 4 people in the car got hurt. BIG LESSON LEARNED before turning 16!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IN HIS CARE- Gary |
Super Bowl Half-time Show
Morning GARY,
Did you see the half-time show??? How very sad :( that we have come to this kind of so called 'entertainment'! I am so upset with CBS - what were they thinking MTV & AOL would produce? Doesn't anyone communicate anymore? They all act as if MTV would bring them a wholesome family show, duhh... it's MTV people! "What were you thinkin' CBS!" Now Justin Timberlake is on TV & in the paper's trying to say it was a costume flaw - yeah, rrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiight! They replayed it and you KNOW it was all intentional... the song, lyrics and actions were all planned. It was a terrible halftime show! And now this morning CBS is all sorry for the show ~ if they did their homework like they were suppose to, that would have never happened... it was all terrible. On the bright side: The Patriots won!!! :cp: I am happy for them and for my family. Sorry that the Panthers didn't win... but the Panthers sure did play a good game. It started out so slow and boring on both sides, it was great to see the game pick up & both teams giving it their all! |
Good Morning!
A quick post before I head off to work. I finally made it back to Curves-felt GREAT! I've packed a nutritious lunch so I'm ready to start my day. It's RRSP season here and it's very busy at work. I won't be doing much in the evenings. Hopefully I'll be too tired to snack too. :lol:
Tonight's dinner is spaghetti - a family favorite and not at all hard to do. Have a great day!! |
Hello all!
Gosh, i missed you this weekend! I wanted to post and say hi but had to wait to use the computer at work. Sounds like you are all well! Gary & Angie~Very funny about your windchill. Poor dear's......;) It's warmer here now but we've had lots of snow. I think about 12" so far and 2-5 expected today. I wasn't sure i could get out of my garage and driveway but my cousin plowed through once and i made it. And because we have the snow to insulate my drains are draining and the water is working! Yeah! The "date" saturday w/John was a big bummer! He didn't have any manners, i didn't like him. But I liked the movie.......Monster. It was hard to watch but good. Great performance by Charlize Therron. Saw the trailer for The Passion of the Christ, the Mel Gibson movie and I cannot wait! The date also made me very grateful to have Charlie in my life. He's very good to me. More later, must get to work. |
Monday Afternoon
http://timbuktu.eluria.com/hushblink...iseBlinkie.gif ;)
MICHELE, So good to see you! Sorry about your date with John, but it sounds as if Charlie will be a tough guy to beat (so to speak). Joe & I are excited to see the movie "The Passion" too! So much talk about it on the Christian Stations... Mel Gibson is being crucified in Hollywood over the movie and he said, "He would do it all over again... even if it meant he were to never do another thing in Hollywood!" He would do the movie again! I really admire his convictions! Do you know that the ONLY part he plays in the movie is the Roman Guard that nails Christ to the cross! He is very upset with being called anti-Semitic... he said humanity put Christ on that cross! That it had nothing to do with race or background... Humanity! He is a cool guy and I am very anxious to see his movie!! Hi WILMA, I miss you too when you don't post. Good to see that you have gone back to Curves :cp: I go back tomorrow and will do Curves 3x a week and the elliptical 2x a week. I have a goal to get in 30 minutes of exercise 5 days a week, resting on the weekends. Good 'LUCK' to you!!! :coach: GARY, I just finished stretching out from my workout... I did 30 minutes (30 MIN!) on the elliptical and got in 4.6 miles. Thanks coach!! Don't forget to get your workout in for today ;) Now I am dashing off to go make myself some lunch. I am making a salad with a Hardboiled egg, Sliced Red Pepper, Portabello Mushrooms & Gormet Cuke & Salmon and topped with a Balsamic dressing - yum! :hun: Gotta go... I made myself really hungry :o |
Start of another good week!!
Feel really pumped and ready for the week.
Son is still 'no school' due to mom and dad taking time off. Due to him doing the 'snopping' in our bedroom we have also instituted a 'you are not to be left alone in the house when we are not there.' This is the 4th day and it is working well. So far he is 'enjoying not having to do schoo' but he is not a happy camper that he gets no TV as that is his choice activity. Hubby is sick - came down with that terrible cold on the weekend and today he is reallly really under the weather - he will be seeing the doctor in 45 minutes to get some meds - when he is not working he gets no pay so can't miss to many of those train rides. January was a good month for me re food plan. Work on no potatoes and no bread. Realized that it was the peanut butter and jam that got me to overeat on the bread. Have not bought either since December and no one is missing them. Yeah!!! February I am going to be working a bit more on my food plan making sure I get the proper portions of protein, carbs, veggs and fruits in. Went for my walk this morning - have now hit 713.5 miles. And after my walk went to Curves - 2nd session today. Was not as hard as it was on Saturday - hardest part is getting on and off the machines!!! To short legged!!! Am feeling really pumped now that I have completed 2 x there. Took a look at my weight while I was there. Am down 1/4 pound since Saturday!!!! So I am doing something right. Well have to run, need to get hubby up and ready to go out the door to his doctors appointment. |
P.s.

Going back to my salad... |

Monday
HI GALS-
Have a few minutes before Angie gets home from Yoga-- the lazy thing stayed in bed this morning instead of getting up at 5am to do her exercises, SLACKER!! :lol: I just finished playing catch with Ron, he is playing softball on our school/church team-- he needs some PRACTICE for sure! Too many days in his past playing on the computer and watching TV-- my brother wasn't much of an athlete either- LOVED watching but, like Ron, lacked skills. Have my bean and ham soup warming up on the stove-- expecting ALOT of rain here tonight. SUNNYD- OF COURSE THAT JANET JACKSON DEALIO WAS SETUP! I think CBS knew all along-- MTV should be whipped for it-- I am not a prude but TV sure is getting sad-- all those kids sure don't need to see it, let alone any adults that don't enjoy it. I was so lucky!! I couldn't stand the music-- it sounded so bad on TV- that I put it on mute, and actually Angie was looking on the computer for dogs at the time of the incident and I was looking with her at yorkipoos-- so cute! Way better than an overexposed fake breast! Our church rented the entire theater for Feb. 29 to see THE PASSION, I already have my tickets! We have seen previews at church on it, trailers from the movie-- looks GREAT! Rated R for the crucifiction but I am taking Ron anyway-- EVERYONE needs to see it! MICHELE I am not so sure I want to see Charlize in Monster, I think see is so cute and I know she isn't in that movie! Sorry about your dinner with John, maybe you have found the right guy after all!! Wouldn't that be just sooooo way cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SPROUT Great JOB on the Curves and walking!! WILMA Spaghetti at our house on Wednesday! Gosh, we should have teamed up-- we could have fed everybody!! Well Angie just walked in and I have to feed her Yoga(ed) out body ;) HAVE FAITH-HE IS GOOD............Gary |
Sorry Donna- Angie makes me go to work some of the time otherwise I would post all day!!!!!!!!! HUGS
You posted while I was......... |
Tuesday Morning

Morning GARY, Now who should be bopped :rollpin: on the head :stars: for apologizing... of course you have to go to work, I know that... I just was wondering where everyone is? It has been so terribly quiet here. ANGEL, hasn't posted in forever (hope you are okay Angel!?)... I just miss everyone. I got my Curves workout in today, it felt so good! Had to get there early because the weather is suppose to get bad again & I really want to keep up my program. It got warmer here! 37* - it's darn right balmy :lol: But we are suppose to get sleet and then more snow by evening. Who know's - it changes so fast here with the Lake. Joe & I went to get a new TV last night - a Panasonic 27" - nothing really fancy, but it's really a nice TV! We got it at Costco for $220.00. Our old TV died yesterday :o it was 12 years old, so it served us well. I am so jealous that you already have tickets for "The Passion"!!! I don't even see it being advertised here!! :o I really want to go! Sure hope we will be able to! PS>> Your dinners always sound so good!! |

Hi everybody.... My pc gave me trouble again. Took me a couple of days to get it straightened out. I don't know what's going on...don't think it's the pc, itself. It's only 2yrs old. Anyway, getting very tired of it. Also, need your prayers. Very sick with RA flare up. Dr says I have to rest until it gets better, nothing else can be done. I don't have any choice! Not able to do anything. I'll be back when I'm better. Have a good day.http://www.eakles.com/107boy.gif |
http://www.ecardgallery.com/egreetin...glfrnd02/1.gifWell Hello there stranger!!
ANGEL, so good to see you!! I have a special prayer for you to read that I think you will enjoy & bring a smile to your face ;) http://www.ecardgallery.com/egreetin...rnd02/div2.gif Prayers for your health and recovery! Blessings on Your Computer Dear Lord, Every evening As I'm lying here in bed This tiny little prayer Keeps running through my head - God bless my mom and dad And bless my little pup And look out for my sister When things aren't looking up - And God, there's one more thing I wish that you could do Hope you don't mind me asking But please bless my computer too? Now I know that's not normal To bless a mother board But just listen a second While I explain to you 'My Lord' - You see, that little metal box Holds more to me than odds & ends Inside those small compartments Rest a hundred of my 'BEST FRIENDS' I know for sure they like me By the kindness that they give And this little scrap of metal Is how I travel to where they live - By faith is how I know them Much the same as you I share in what life brings them From that our friendship grew "PLEASE" Take an extra minute From your duties up above To bless this scrap of metal That's filled with so much love!
