Day 3

Ugh. That word pretty much sums up how I feel. Quite frankly I'm tired of drinking juice already. Last night I was almost in tears. I wanted to quit. And I don't think I've been at that point in a fast/cleanse in a long time. So I reached out to my mom and some of my friends for encouragement. 

Just a word to anyone who is looking to do this for the first time, you MUST, and I repeat- MUST, have friends or a mentor or a coach or someone that can encourage you through the hard parts. Unless you have resolve of steel, you will quit. I would have quit last night if I hadn't had people to talk to and to talk me down and pray for me and speak truth into my life and situation.

 So, how do I feel today on the morning of Day 3? The Nausea is gone. I still have a headache and just took some ibuprofen for that this morning. I feel very foggy in my brain. I'm currently drinking my green juice. I am down another half a lb. So total weight loss for me in 2 days is 4.5 lbs. (all water weight of course). I would guess any weight loss from here on out is probably real weight loss. I had a real special moment with the Lord last night during a very weak moment. A friend gave me a word that came directly from the Holy Spirit because it spoke to me and shook me out of my pity party and complaining and grumbling. I think I'll share more about this later as God continues to speak to me during this fast, but I am meditating on one scripture now for this entire fast and I have it written on my calendar to look at while I'm working.

 John 6:35 "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. " Stay tuned......
