Rice and Beans Finale!
And I’m done! As I write this I’m enjoying a ‘biscuit’ of the variety found in the State of Georgia, USA – a Mexican cheese scone to us! I’m not gonna lie, its been tough, I’ve struggled. Not as much with the hunger, mostly with the lack of variety in the food I’ve been eating. … Continue reading
Rice and Beans Challenge Day 4
Another day down, another day closer to eating again! Is that bad? At this stage I’m starting to think less and less about my friends in need around the world, and more and more about the food I’m looking forward to eating again. Its only been 4 days boy! Come on! I’m struggling with this, … Continue reading

Todays challenge is a long lasting challenge – set until the next leap year!

Rice and Beans Challenge Day 3
So today is the mid-point of the Tearfund Rice and Beans challenge. Man am I glad….. I knew it was going to be tough – even with almost tripling my portions to help me last longer on my feet all day I’m incredibly hungry! Although, I do have to confess that I succumbed slightly … Continue reading

Today marked the second day of me participating in the Tearfund Rice and Beans challenge. Man, this is tough going. I woke up early this morning and went through to the kitchen and contemplated sneaking a chocolate bar…..I stood there for about 5 minutes thinking “who would ever know?” I resisted, but felt quick guilty … Continue reading
Carbon Fast Day 6
So, todays challenge was: Cut air miles. Don’t buy any food that you know has been imported by plane (apart from fairtrade products). If labelling is unclear, ask!). I haven’t done this at all today, solely because I’m also participating in the Tearfund Rice and Beans challenge, so my food intake this week is fairly … Continue reading
Carbon Fast Day 4 & 5
With being so tired after the One Voice 14 hour prayer event yesterday, I’ve not had much of a chance until now to write about the Carbon Fast challenge. Yesterdays challenge was: Find ways to garden in or with your church or community. Resurrect a forgotten wasteland or help weed a neighbour’s garden. Grow things … Continue reading
Day 3
Day 3 and I don’t have much to say. I’m irritated, grumpy and may vomit if I eat another bean. Here’s Dave’s day: Day 3 and still hanging there! Actually, a much better day than yesterday, only minimal headaches and toothache. I stopped being lazy and made my lunch last night, 30g rice and 30g … Continue reading
