Does saying: "Voluntarily for Allah" after the intention to fast a voluntary fast count as a vow?

A vow (nadhr) must have a form that indicates commitment, such as: "It is for Allah upon me to fast such-and-such." Merely thinking about a supererogatory fast and uttering the phrase: "Voluntarily for Allah," is not considered a vow and entails no obligation.
