sizes and I wasn’t too picky about how they looked and

Day 700 Friday, November 14, 2008
Today I dropped off the kids at school, worked out at the gym and
went to a funeral that so inspired me and reminded me
that I want to be a better person and Christian. Today
I also started my fast. It has occurred to me that I am
still struggling with maintenance and food issues and I
can never give up being on my guard. The good news is
that I won’t let it get out of control again and it
needs to be nipped in the bud. So this fast is a
refocusing and a help to get me back to the discipline I
need to only eat raw foods. I confess that I have been
experimenting a bit too much lately with bites here and
there and they all add up. Somehow when we get to
maintenance we think we don’t have to be so strict and
it is a lie. I have not weighed myself for a few months
due to trying to get away from being obsessed by the
scale. I figured I would let my clothing be my guide
and now my size 4’s are getting a bit too tight on me so
I need to real it back in! I wish I could be
disciplined and desire to only eat 100% raw – 100% of
the time. I guess it is all part of the growing
process. Really when will I learn!
Also this morning I had many stressful thoughts. With as bad as
the economy is and all of the uncertainty around - the
message is the same and it is everywhere we turn. It has
affected many of us personally and to those close by
(friends, family, etc.). Every radio station this
morning was saying similar messages. I found myself
becoming more and more overwhelmed, and stressed out. I
couldn't help but think I really need to do my exercise
today because I know it will help me relieve some of
this stress and get my mind off all that is going on
around me. Exercising this morning did help me but
really the source of my strength and stress reliever
came from above and in HIS word! I am so thankful I
serve and awesome and Living Real God - Jesus! He never
forsakes us or leaves us! Today I chose to put my hope
and trust in HIM! I thank God for my health and that I
can move freely and exercise this body of mine! Had 1

Today I began my fast and am trying mentally to get into
the groove with it. I really don’t enjoy fasting but
find it necessary based on my own lack of discipline on
the day to day. I really can’t believe how cheating a
bit here and there over the holidays has really caught
up with me. I also know it has to do with indulging in
so many nuts and raw desserts like cheesecake. Even
though its raw it still has a ton of calories. My
daughter stayed home sick today so I didn’t work out at
the gym like usual. We watched t.v. together and I got
caught up with my sister I hadn’t talked to for awhile.
I also did some exercise at home and did my juicing for

few errands and did regular grocery shopping, helped the

Day 5 of my fast and I just finished my exercising. The kids are
home today due to the schools being cancelled so I slept
in. I need to get to the store today cause it is my
night to cook for the family. I am making chicken
fajitas for all of them. I wish I didn't have to cook
while fasting but I will get through it. Anyways the
last few days have been a lot easier mentally. The last
two days I have barely drank any of the MC lemonde. I
made two liters and it has lasted me 3 days. I have
drank this drink so much in the past I really don't like
it - but I find it easy (prep-time/cleanup required is
minimal) so I continue to drink it. Over the weekend
when I have a bit more time I will probably do a switch
to fresh fruits and veggies. I have cranberries, fresh
greens (kale, spinach), carrots apples, parsley, etc. to
juice up. I even want to make a V-8 type of juice to get
use up some of my tomatoes I have. So I am looking
forward to some variety. I also came back down another
2 pounds since yesterday.

It has been awhile since I last journaled. I guess “life
happened”. I had went back to work and got extremely
busy so after I got back from Houston where I was away
from my computer I got out of the habbit of journaling.
But today is a significant day since I am beginning a
new fast. I had planned for this day since the last
fast I ended in the beginning of February. So here I
am. This fast was originally planned to help me
celebrate my 40th birthday next month – so it
could help me mentally prepare for it and obviously help
me feel and look my best on that day. But now it is
about so much more than I had anticipated. God is good
as he knew how stressful life was going to be at this
time and how much more this fast would be about and how
much I needed it. I will be taking this time to be in
prayer and in HIS word and hopefully finding him – to
experience His peace, refuge and strength. I am so in
NEED of that right now. This fast will also help me so
in the stresses of life right now I won’t be turning to
eating like I often do when I am stressed.
I will be doing a mixture of my “own” thing again. MC lemonade,
water, fruit and vegetable juices, and green tea. I
just got done with my exercising with my daughter and
had some greentea lemonade. Today I am going to spend
time getting caught up on laundry and cleaning out my
refrigerator (weird thing to do while fasting but it so
needs it!) Consumed:
Greentea lemonade
Apple, carrot, pear, beet and spinach juice
Today’s exercise: 50 minutes
35 minutes of yoga booty ballet
15 minutes of abs of steel
Tuesday, April 14, 2009
Day 2 of my fast and the inevitable happened that I was fearing.
My husband lost his job yesterday. It is a very scary
place to be with today’s economy challenges and neither
of us working. Again I am happy I am fasting so I don’t
turn to food for comfort. It will force me to turn to
God which is where I need to go.
Today I am going to exercise and then spend more time getting
caught up around the house. Consumed:
Greentea lemonade
Tomato, red pepper, carrot, celery, beet juice
Today’s exercise: 60 minutes of yoga bootie ballet
Wednesday, April 15, 2009
Day 3 of my fast and I am feeling better today. Yesterday I had
such a headache and I am not sure why since I am still
drinking some greentea. Anyways today I am going to
exercise, do some grocery shopping and work on cleaning
the house. It is funny how with working so many things
got behind in the house. I just finally got caught up
on laundry and I NEVER thought I would do that. God
seems to be telling me to take refuge in him, trust him,
etc. I am trying to take one day at a time and find my
hope in my faith and in HIM. Consumed:
Greentea lemonade
Apple, carrot, beet and spinach juice
Today’s exercise: 30 minutes of taebo
Thursday, April 16, 2009
Day 4 of my fast and I am feeling fine. Kind of bummed I had to
have someone come out and repair my garage door so I had
to wait around all day for him to come and then pay him
unnecessary money I don't have right now.
But I did get in my exercising and ran a few errands. I
am going to do some overdue cleaning next. I have been
drinking 1 large glass of juice a day (not a lot I know)
but just enough to give me some energy. Consumed:
Greentea lemonade
