I have had some people ask me, "So what exactly are you eating for each meal?" Let me first tell you about the rules...wait I will quote our fearless leader at Lahash International Dan:
"Well, the rules are... actually there aren't really rules"
I tell you this because if you visit the website:
you will see a lot of really cool recipes. The only problem is, a majority of the stuff in those recipes do not make it onto the plates of the orphans at our missions. Mostly what they eat are beans, rice and ugali (maize flour cooked in water). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ugali
The orphans don't get all those spices and vegetable as shown in some of those recipes. Now please don't get me wrong, I admire anyone who can eat just rice and beans, even if it has a little extra, for 30 days. So I am very proud of ALL those who are undergoing this adventure.
I have decided to take the route of the East African diet (as Dan calls it). I have only modified my breakfast:
BREAKFAST - 1 wheat roll and water
LUNCH - two cups of rice and water
DINNER - two cups of rice, cup of beans and a green vegetable. (the vegetable is usually collard greens, mustard greens or spinach)
No sodas, no meat or chicken, no desserts and no snacks.
So, that is where I am at on day three. I do have caffeine withdrawal headaches, but I figure they will go away by the end of the week.
I asked for continued prayers for all of us going through this adventure and that at the end the results will be beneficial to our missions in East Africa.
These are my thoughts.
Chappy
