When All Hell Breaks Loose
Day 3 – October 21, 2026
While my initial 40 hour complete fast went well, I did succumb to my colleagues encouragement to enjoy the ‘Salsbury Steak, Mashed Potatoes, Cream Corn, and Pumpkin Pie’ to celebrate our Engineering Manager’s work anniversary. Then, I over-indulged at a network event later on.
It would be easy for me to say….let’s wait to get started again. Instead, I accept that these types of things will happen. I fasted my 16 hours (8 hour eating window) and am strictly keto today. I didn’t let yesterday’s disaster distract me.
In fact, I even more excited about my upcoming camping trip to Woodruff, Wisconsin because I purchased a very warm (and large) sleeping bag rated to 0 deg fahrenheit, with an appropriate camping pad, thermal underwear. Being 20lbs lighter will ensure I fit in the thermal underwear and I can be more comfortable sleeping.
When all hell breaks loose, I turn back to God for help, praying also to the Saints for there intercessions. St. Xenia of St. Petersburg, St. Nicholas of Myrna, and St. Nektarios are the ones I pray to mostly.
