How do you do a progressive fast for Lent?

This is a fast our church recommends: Ash Wednesday - Abstain from beef and veal for remainder of Lent Sunday, March 17 - Abstain from pork for remainder of Lent Sunday, March 24 - Abstain from poultry for remainder of Lent Sunday, March 31 - Abstain from fish seafood for remainder of Lent Sunday, April 7 - Abstain from eggs for remainder of Lent Sunday, April 14 - Abstain from dairy for remainder of Lent Holy Thursday, Good Friday & Saturday - bread and water only This is pretty intense...I did it last year as I was going thru RCIA. Listen to your body..don't put yourself in an unhealthy situation. If you need to break the fast, break it. It comes down to intention... They recommend consulting your doctor before trying. Good luck if you try it! I'll be there with you!!
