what i eat in a day after a 36 hr fast 

Girl, I quit my job in the medical field in September and moved to a manufacturing job taking x rays of aerospace components. I make in 2 wks what I was making in 1 week but I swear I don't have no regrets. The stress of my last job was unbearable. I was hating life! The difference in my attitude and outlook is beyond words. Never in a million yrs did I think I'd ever switch careers at my age (46) but I got to a point where I always knew I needed to do something for my mental health and finally took a chance. When it gets to a point that even a 2wk vacation doesn't unwind you, but gives you anxiety about what your going back to, it's time to swerve to a different lane. Best wishes to you your moving up in UPS. I hope it brings what you need ❤

Girl I was a nurse at the bedside and was so depressed. It’s a toxic environment for sure. In my 3rd year I was in tears before each shift and looking for a way out. I was a darn good nurse but you on,y get rewarded with more responsibility. My job depression got worse after I had my kids b/c I couldn’t be there with them like I wanted. It’s so hard to get the days off that you need b/c of favoritism and low staffing. MyPTO denied or I got partial PTO which means oh we will give you the part of your PTO request but can’t give you the full time. The patients were rude, the doctors were rude. It was a beat down every shift. God delivered me from that area. When I tell you it was hard being in Gods waiting room it was hard. It took so long and so many no’s. I finally got a position working from home with a flexible schedule and it has been a blessing. I was finally able to attend my kids thanksgiving school party and I cried b/c I realized the ones I missed and that he was sitting at table with the teacher while his classmates were eating with their parents. Never again will I miss their activities. My stress is way down, I can pick up my kids from school. Anyway that’s my story of my work woes and blessing. You are right about God is testing us he wants to see how we act while we are waiting. Don’t give up, keep praising him and your break through will come. You are beautiful and so inspiring. Your Skin is popping sis.

I’ve been a nurse for 29 years and I love my career. Currently I’ve been in my current job for 19 years. I can say that I love, love, love my job. I work at a cancer hospital. I can’t see myself doing anything else. It’s all about management. If management is horrible the rest will be too. I also faithfully take my vacations and time off.

colleen, just focus on your channel. you have 90k subs; you absolutely can leave 9-5 behind and completely support yourself and family with your channel. less than 10k from 100k girl!

Do I feel you or do I feel you?!!! GURL!!!!! I am mom’s caregiver and I have a full time stressful job. I sometimes feel like I want to jump on a rocket and shoot to another planet. I most def feel you. I’m tired of being the giver; and then God pops in my mind and says, “One day your mom will be gone and you will wish you had her”. Ugh! And then I take a deep breath, pray and I keep going. You are not alone my friend 😘 ❤

Girrrrrrlllllllll I feel you on that sabbatical situation! I am 48 and have been on my nonstop career career career path since I was 22 years old. I have never felt more drained and depleted. I need more than two weeks. I need at least a year. The longest time I have been on a break has been during the birth of my two kids 3 months maternity leave. After I graduated college I started working 30days later in my career and have not stopped. You are not alone!

Girl, I'm in the nursing field as a unit secretary/licensed nursing assistant and yes, my floor is toxic to the point that good nurses are moving on to other opportunities or moving away. I'm heading back to school for the dental industry, Monday through Friday, weekends and holidays off. I've watched videos from Stephanie Perry and it's amazing what she has accomplished and I appreciate how she is sharing it with other black women.

Colleen, you are so incredibly positive while having so much on your plate. Very inspiring and I hope good news reaches you soon!

I can relate that at some point a career can start to suck the life out of you! After 30 years of working as a social worker last year I got burnt out and decided to retire! so I retired at 55 ! I’m not sure what my next move will be but I am grateful that I took great care of my finances and investments all those years so that I can give myself some choices now! Plus the opportunity and choice to take the time to just focus on me! My health, wellness and personal development! Plus having more time for my family and loved ones! Not. Sure what my “ next chapter “ of my life book will be but I know I will find my inspiration when the time Is right! Thanks for the video!

Yes preach Nursing is difficult, I have been an RN for almost 20 years, and I had to get off the floor full-time. I mostly do clinical instruction with nursing students less stress, and less pay. I am still PRN on the floor and my coworkers are not toxic thank god.

Sis, I left my nursing career and open my own restaurant 😂 and I’ve never been happier. I work more but I know I’m doing it for myself.

I absolutely know what you’re feeling. It was a heaviness on me in 2022 and I couldn’t take it anymore and beginning 2023 I quit my job in banking and started a business….i still can’t believe all that happened since then but I’m much better mentally and now I’m starting my new fasting journey for the icing on the cake. Blessings to you

I’m a bedside nurse as well, i will say my coworkers and I all work together. It’s a blessing to have the team that i have even the PCTs are amazing. I enjoy going to work but i could def use a sabbatical as well like frfr.

Girl! I’m working 2 damn jobs going on 2 years and I’m exhausted! I pray I can quit the part-time job soon!

Hey Colleen, I just wanted to come back to comment. Thank you so much for all of your videos. You've helped me lose 25 lbs so far. My goal is to lose 15 more lbs. I started ADF in May 2023. Stopped around September when I got to 175 the first time. I realized I wasn't eating enough on my feast days. Anyways, I say all that to say I'm back on track back to 175 after starting again in January. God Bless you and keep up the good work!!

Thank you for this video I need to refresh and renew my ADF mindset!!! 90k subscribers. 100k coming very soon.

New subie!! I did IF for 2 years and I feel like I am not getting the results I really want. In another of your video's, you said, one has to feel desparate to start ADF. Praying I make it to 36 hours fasting, as at the time of writing, it's been 21 hours fasting down. I'm not hungry, unbelievably. Drinking herbal tea (I picked the herbs from my own garden) with a pinch of salt, all day. My last meal was at 8.30pm 30 Nov 2023. So grateful for your videos and content that have helped me to understand ADF & also inspired me to try ADF for the first time. Thank you so much❤

yes! God came through for us and we got new jobs🎉🎉🎉 My last job was making me depressed. Now I can work from home and relax. Life has gotten so much better simply by changing jobs. I’m starting to believe the saying “ life is what you make it” well kinda lol

Definitely needed your uplifting energy in my life today! 😊

I love Stephanie! I became a nomad because of her. Wish you the best sis ❤️

She cute, yes!!😂 So happy to hear from you again. I feel you, but there’s a light on the end of the tunnel. This too shall pass! Nothing is forever! I admire your positive energy although life is somewhat rough for you right now. Happy holidays!🌺🥰

You are glowing dear ..

Girl I need a sabbatical ASAP. I’ve been watching Stephanie Perry for the past 2 years and I this close to just walking away from my toxic work environment. I just got a promotion in management and all I can say is it gets even more toxic the higher you climb.

“Smells like it expired last year” 😂😂😂 just found your channel and love your videos.

Sissss Aldi's is my first grocery stop I get all of my nuts from there, some fruits & veggies for sure!!!!

I love ALdi too!! Fave

Mi seh! When I see you pour in the mango juice I said " yeah man mi big likl sister dis,ah teach mi nuff tings!"😂 I came across your channel yesterday and immediately subscribed. I give God thanks for you, your videos are so informative, I feel as if I have a point of reference and feel as if I have a support/ guidance to go alongside my journey even though you don't know me. I thank God for inspiring you to share this aspect of your life, in this way on this forum. We have aldi in England too! I wonder if it's the same x

You are a jamaican what a gwan girl i enjoy watching your video

Yes medicine is definitely last last resort for me as well, I've always been that way!!! I guess I felt like my body could naturally fight things off however I do take medicine when absolutely necessary.

Hey Colleen good to see you still fasting and getting your autophagy on. Your tofu stir fry looked good.

Same job wise. I make great money. I won't find the income I am making anywhere else but it can be toxic and stressful.

Girl, I toke my sibatitical in September, I'm back in school but after graduation in May, I have budgeted to take the summer off from work...mentally drained. Sad thing is people think I'm the crazy one for doing that....smh you know what you need, only thing come from keep pushing is burnout and there's nothing about that that's good for our health.

Aldi have some good finds i purchase my main things from Aldi and the things i can’t live without that doesn’t taste the same in a non brand at Publix or Walmart

So happy to see another video!

The lash serum tho?! Link please 💕💕💕

Fun fact - Owners of Aldis and Trade Joe's are relatives. I Love

New sub from Australia 👋 I really enjoy your videos & how you put everything together. Thank you for your inspiration & for sharing your experience through the journey. Many blessings. 🙏🏼

I want a sabbatical too!! I want to focus on my creative pursuits. My 9-5 sucks the creativity and life out of me

I love Stephanie perry's videos.

Thank you Colleen for this fantastic information ❤

Can you do ADF with OMAD on up days, I eat higher calorie food and desserts.

Colleen! I didn't know you were following Dr Mindy! I am in my third month following her ideas. Was wondering your take. Do you only fast during the first part of your cycle? Or are you doing adf throughout your whole cycle? Thanks Nicole

Sis..be careful with Aldi nowadays. It was my go to for years but lately I'm seeing far too many of their products have bioengineered ingredients. And not knowing what that entails could be counterproductive. Love your channel tho!

when she cooked the general taos do anybody know what noodles and green vegetables she used? thanks in advace❤❤❤

The toast looks amazing! Where's the link for the lash serum?

Love this whole video.. vibes are good here. ❤ You Colleen

Ok, this took me about 5 hours to watch between mum duties but finally finished 😆 Dunno if I’ve missed something but have you gone vegetarian? I love tofu but avoid soya because of it being a phytoestrogen and trying to lower my oestrogen as my understanding was that oestrogen dominance causes fibroids (of which I have one). I know you said you had one too and you’re smart about this kinda stuff so there must be good reason.. let me know what I’ve misunderstood as don’t want to be making my condition worse, or sacrificing things I like to no benefit, when I could do with the protein! Thanks for sharing your day hope you had a good sleep 😊

Which brand sauerkraut do you use? Looks so good

Happy Friday

Are you living in my mind lol just 2 weeks right!!!?, lol I definitely feel ya sis 😂❤

Good job

Great vlog! Where's the Lash serum link though? Please post it!

Good morning ❤

Breaking my fast with warm bone broth does something to me 😋

What happened to the gilberts disease? Thought you couldn't fast anymore?? 🤔

I couldn't find the lash serum that you use listed below? did I miss it?

Link to the lash serum

I think I heard that Aldi and TJs are the same company.

Unable to find a link for the lashes.

that tofu meal looks good. "chicken"

Yes! Healthcare worker here. The "older"workers be like, I'm old school. This is how we use to do...... Then when I say, back in your day, hand washing and glove usage was optional, that's why so many people your age and older are so sick! Policies and procedures change and you can't keep doing the same OLD things. They get offended then. Now I'm trying to fix and do the things she isn't supposed to be doing. 4 hours of sleep and trying to be healthier so I don't end up like those old school workers. I'm young, but I'm not that young and I'm just trying my best not to have a breakdown. I need that vacation!

Girl ur teeth are so white spill tips 🫶🤎❤️
