Day 4

Today is the beginning of day 4 of my juice fast. I was down more weight this morning. I'm down a total of 5.2 lbs in 3 days. My pants are looser today so that's exciting! I slept amazing last night and woke up before my alarm went off. I feel like normal this morning. A little sleepy because I'm not drinking my usual morning coffee anymore, but I've pushed through the withdrawal phase pretty well (but I never would have made it without my support crew.. you all know who you are!! )

I'm currently drinking my morning green juice :

1 bunch of spinach
2 green apples
1/3 of a pineapple
1 long stalk of celery
1 small cucumber
and a hand full of purple grapes

Probably my favorite green juice so far but I still don't love the aftertaste of celery.

To fill you in on how the rest of day 3 went yesterday, I had a breakthrough about midday. I ended up breaking down and taking a 1/2 of a caffeine pill so I could make it through my work day. No kidding, 20 minutes after I took that caffeine pill, my headaches were gone. I felt like I could run a marathon. I know, I know.. some of you are thinking I cheated by taking that. Well.. I'm ok with that. I haven't had anything to eat at all and nothing to drink except my juices and water. So I feel ok with my decision.
I also had just a great day of spiritual refreshing. I feel like without the distraction of food in my life, it is bring a spiritual clarity that I haven't had in a while. More on that at the end of my fast though! I have a feeling I will have a lot more to say then
However, I will share the verse the Lord gave to me yesterday which was so symbolic because of the physical breakthrough I was experiencing as my hunger and withdrawal symptoms were easing.
Psalm 40:3 The Passion Translation
"A new song for a new day rises up in me every time I think about how he breaks through for me! Ecstatic praise pours out of my mouth until everyone hears how God has set me free. Many will see his miracles and they'll stand in awe of God and fall in love with him!"

I loved that so much. I really felt like he was putting a new song in my mouth for this new day as he was breaking through for me.

I'm looking forward to trying some new recipes today and pushing on through this process. 6 more days to go after today .. YAAAAAAAAY!!

Stay tuned...................
