Happy New Years Eve!

Today was spent getting ready for our Daniel Fast and celebrating the past year with family.

Yesterday we did some shopping and cleaning out the food from Christmas (all the candy and sweets).  I will share recipes that we have found that work for us that we found from Pinterest. My husband and I are also currently training for half marathon and marathon.  We will still need to take in some protein to be able to continue our workout schedule.  Our protein will be coming from beans and nuts.



Today I made some granola to help with mornings when I cannot came something.  This is one of my favorite granola recipes, it is so easy and very good.  The link below is where I found the recipe.

We love to eat chips and salsa as a snack, but as you know most recipes of salsa are made with sugar, however during the Daniel Fast you cannot have sugar.  I used the following recipe but just left out the sugar.  It is still very good and the longer it sits the more the flavors mingle. It is a great snack.


My helper today as I was food prepping.  Riley was hoping that I dropped some snacks for her.  She loves the granola.


End to all the prepping.  It is time to have dinner with the family and celebrate the coming of the new year.

Preparing for Daniel Fast



This is me, my name is Debra and I am planning a great year.

This past year, I had a chance to start working out with some great people at a FBBC.  Working out with this group allowed me to lose 15lbs in 2 months.  I am very thankful for the friendships that I have made and the motivation that they give me.

I know this year will be even better.

We will be starting our yearly Daniel Fast January 1st.  Today I spent the day researching and looking for recipes that will work for my husband and I in our very busy schedule.

I plan on using this blog to post what we will be eating and the my bible study for 21 days.

This year I also plan to lose 10 more pounds to get at my goal weight.

Hopefully through this I will be able to inspire someone else.
