Made it til past 3pm. I’m going to have a snack now to tide me over. Guess I couldn’t make it the whole way. 😊

On the up side, I did manage with the coffee which I actually thought would be harder for me.

Boy I need to work on my fasting skills…
 
I think I need to practice my fasting skills. I find it weird that there are times on the weekend when I do go all day without eating until dinner and feel fine, but if I’m consciously fasting, I’m hungry way earlier in the day.

I’ve noticed that trend as well. You know you’re going to fast, so you’re consciously aware of it.

The trick is to keep yourself busy. Which can be hard. :o

Lol, my problem is that there’s plenty to do to keep myself busy! It’s just hard to do intellectual work when your head isn’t overly clear. I’ve had to have a little snack in the afternoon just to be able to focus.

Fasting’s definitely a skill and a discipline that must be practiced.

Yeah I had a snack too. I was able to go the rest of the day without eating.

Yeah, I agree. I definitely need to practice fasting…some other time. 😃
 
Well, friends, we’ve almost made it. A few more hours (well, okay more like 6 more hours) and the fast ends and we can begin to celebrate Easter. Whether or not you made the full fast or had a snack here and there, I want to thank you for going me this Holy Week. I don’t think I could have done it without you.

Have a blessed Easter!

Thanks and same to you!

I know your penance is particularly hard today, I’ve said a few extra prayers for you that the Blessed Mother will give you strength! 👍
 
God’s blessing be on all of us who fasted and prayed during this Holy Week!
