Ramadan Day Two / Willie Nelson

My intention is to create new habits and routines. I felt well most of the day until mid-afternoon when I literally felt parched and needed to drink water. I am pretty sure that I am somewhat dehydrated. When I go on my coffee binges I have a tendency to drink too much coffee and not enough anything else. Again, I had grace - cause a sister needs water. My mouth did not salivate when I thought of water - my mouth was sticking to itself I needed water.

I noticed there were intermittent times throughout the day when I would hear and feel my stomach grumbling and I would get a case of non-stop yawns. I would start to feel really tired and then I pushed through and the hunger was gone.

Friday nights I normally do not plan anything for myself as Market is extremely bright and early on Saturday. However, I was lucky enough to have my friend Tiffany share a free ticket to Willie Nelson and I broke from my usual routine to stay home. I am happy that I did as I shared great times with friends and great music. Tiffany and Sarah will bear witness my anticipation of the setting sun. I was hungry when Tiffany came back with her BBQ cheese nachos. Obviously my hungry mind made them out to look delicious.

One thing that is forbidden is pork. I did try to be mindful with my food choices - but even the pizza had sausage. My only protein food choice had everything to do with pig. The sun was setting. I was hungry. Sorry, pig it is.  I ate BBQ nachos. Again grace - as I am not a true Muslim. I am being mindful of what my body needs at that moment and allowing myself to make reasonable choices.
