I am fasting today vs Today is my fast

Both options are correct, but they have slightly different meanings. 'I am fasting today' is a common way to say that you are abstaining from food for the day. 'Today is my fast' implies that today is a specific day set aside for fasting as part of a religious or personal practice.
