This is week 2 of my 21-Day Daniel Fast. My blog post about that can be found here, but basically, it’s vegan extreme – and I’m throwing in my own personal restriction to unleavened bread only.

At this point, I’m in a steady go, not tempted to cheat, not wishing I hadn’t started the fast in the first place (heh).
