Juicing | An Addition to My Diet...

If you know me, you know that I love trying to maintain being fit, being spiritually connected with God, and living a healthier lifestyle.

I was reading Kimberly's blog KimberlyLuxe.com where she did a post on how she's preparing for a full body detox & cleanse HERE

I did a fast a few months ago. I wanted to share details, but when fasting (spiritual reasons) it's not something to share with others. Although I had a partner who I did this fast with, she's my link AKA accountability partner. I didn't do as well as I wanted to when it came to lasting the full time we had planned. But I did get a lot of it spiritually & that's something I plan on doing again real soon.

There's nothing like being obedient and feeling the presence of God. Just yearning for his love, prayer, meditating & His help is amazing. I did a lot of praying. Prayer is everything to me. 

Anyways, this post is in regards to me adding juicing to my diet. I just recently purchased the Nutri-Bullet from Target online & I plan on sharing my journey, likes, dislikes, recipes, favorite recipes, etc. 

I won't be doing a juice fast until my body gets use to me juicing on a regular. I'll give my body 21 days worth of goodness added to my diet. 21 straight days of juicing will be well worth it for me....

Benefits:

-reduce risk of cancer
-boost your immune system
-helps remove toxins from your body
-aid digestion (something I need)
-lose weight

I'm not doing this to lose weight. Because the weight you lose from juicing/fasting will only be gained by when you end the fast/juicing process. You have to really know how to keep off the weight you lost & that's difficult. I'm doing it for eternal reasons. 

I've been feeling tired, sluggish & that's not the biz at all. I know some of it has to do with some of the foods I continue to eat, and I can't do much about that right now, but when I can, it'll ALL fall in place for me :)
I can SAY that my portions & calorie counting has gotten better, so that is a plus!

When will you start juicing?

Dec. 5th, 2012 till Dec. 25th

Have any of you incorporated juicing to your diet? It seems like one of the most popular things to do. Also, have any of you done a cleanse? Share away....

Life Application: Suffering-A Reminder

A common belief in Jewish culture was that calamity or suffering was the result of some great sin. But Christ used this man's suffering to teach about faith and to glorify God. We live in a fallen world where good behavior is not always rewarded and bad behavior not always punished.


Therefore, innocent people sometimes suffer. If God took suffering away whenever we asked, we would follow him for comfort and convenience, not out of love and devotion. Regardless of the reasons for our suffering, Jesus has the power to help us deal with it.


When you suffer from a disease, tragedy, or disability, try not to ask, "Why did this happen to me?" or "What did I do wrong?" Instead, ask God to give you strength for the trial and a clearer perspective on what is happening.


John 9:2-3


Just a reminder to myself & others...

Spiritually, Emotionally, & Physically Unbalanced...Time To Cleanse!

Good afternoon everyone!


I didn't plan on blogging over this way today, but I needed to vent/blog about this. I've decided to go on Spiritual Cleanse which will rebuild me emotionally & physically. What this cleanse consist of is...

1. Stepping away from Twitter. More so my personal twitter page
2. Jump starting my work out again (That I started & fell off many times)
3. Meditating- Reading the word, and writing more (I always seem to find my way back in situations where I'm just feeling "blah")


I'm starting the Spiritual Cleanse today and the weekend "detox" this weekend (1/21). I believe in myself, but I'm not brave enough to do both at the same time. Also, I need to stock up on fresh fruits & veggies for the detox. I need to invest in a great juicer as well....ANYONE know of a decent priced juicers you've used or heard about? 


For more information *& where I'm getting my info from* on the
Spiritual Cleanse, check that out HERE

Hopefully this week will get me back on track with the many tasks I need to complete, and feeling healthier all around. At the end of the day, it's HIM...God that will get me through it all :)
