Yesterday afternoon, after worship and a couple of graduation parties, Melissa and Sarah started the long trip to Myrtle Beach. Melissa is helping drive Sarah's car there and then she will be flying back on Friday night.
Samuel, all of a sudden, has decided to move to go ahead and move to Bloomington. He leaves tomorrow.
It will just be me and the dog for the next few days.
And anytime I am alone, I take the opportunity to do some fasting. It cuts down on me fussing about what to cook for myself, and fasting tends to be easier when nobody else is around stocking the fridge with tempting food.
This time I thought I would try something a little different: a "sardine fast".
If the internet can be trusted - and when has it ever steered me wrong? - sardines are a type of "superfood".
Several folks on YouTube have experimented with 3 or more days of eating nothing but sardines and have found it beneficial in several ways.
Because sardines have such low calories and high protein content, they provide a type of fast which doesn't result in excessive hunger.
That is, assuming you can stomach sardines - which I happen to thoroughly enjoy.
Today I ate three cans for lunch and two for dinner. I also consumed a couple of mints, to battle my fish breath.
I will let you know the effects over this week, both positive and negative. Melissa doesn't come home until late Friday night, so I have five solid days to experiment.
Should be interesting.
