This site is about my life in the art studio. It includes drawings, paintings, knitting and cross stitch and fun art techniques. I will also include recipes and yoga and book reviews. This is a lifestyle blog with intentional and simple living ideas.
So far the Daniel Fast has been going well. I had decided that the fast will include no meat, but seafood for this week, then next week I will focus more on the recommended fruits and vegetables for the Daniel Fast.
Part of the fast is also letting go of belongings. So for the next week to several weeks, I am going to donate, sell, or toss items that I no longer need to hold on to.
I have packaged DVD’s that I am not using. I will have to take those for a resale. Hopefully the drive there will be worth the money. I will do that after I go through my books.

Review: I did really well for 10 days. My goal was to do this for a whole month however some personal issues came up that I decided to do this challenge for 10 days. But it gave me a really good idea of the type of exercising I could do that seems to help me throughout the day and also is good for the evening. I will continue exercising I’m just not going to log it and share everything. I have not been outside walking for a while because of the smoke from the Canadian wildfire.
I am hoping to be able to walk starting tomorrow as they say the air will be much better to be outside.
I woke up at 5:15am. Feeling tired. I made hot tea and will decide if I want to walk outside. It’s hot out and if I want to be outside this is the best time. But my feet and that blister kinda hurt.
Morning Exercise
I decided to stay inside to exercise. I want my blister to heal before I walk again. And it’s starting to get hot and it’s only 7:30!
So my exercise consisted of yoga for 30 minutes, and cycle for 10 minutes.
Breakfast
Banana bread with two boiled eggs with salt and pepper. Iced coffee.
Later I had yogurt, got hungry and had a small break from work.
Lunch
Oops forgot to take a photo. I had a salad with lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, kidney beans and chicken breast. I used dairy free ranch dressing. And water. I had sweetened ice tea as well today
Dinner
Nothing for dinner. I had a late lunch and was not really hungry.
Evening Exercise
It’s just too hot out for a walk. 10 years ago I probably would have walked! Instead I did lymphatic yoga, lymphatic exercises and cycle.
I had a popsicle after working out along with water.
The heat is making it difficult on my legs. I feel swollen and heavier with fluid. Working out with a lot of fluid limits me, but it felt good to do the lymphatic exercises.
