Hi today 07/19/21

Today marks my first juice fast for the year. Today I made it official because yesterday, I didn't do well on it. I cooked my husband dinner and I gave in. I purpose not to give in today and I succeeded. All glory to the Lord!

It was very hard my first day! I was supper hungry. Now today, it was a little easier, because I was stronger. I will be sharing my journey and you can share yours as well.

My goal for this fast was to give my body a break from cooked foods, and give my body time to rest, strengthen and repair itself. Juicing doesn't give you the full benefits as one with a full fast with only water. Fasting is very good for your body.

Some benefits for Juice fasting are  as follows:

 Detox Benefits of a Juice Fasting Diet

• Your body and internal organs have an opportunity to rebuild – the whole body becomes cleaner.
• Mental clarity improves.
• You are getting rid of excessive weight without flabbiness.
• Your energy increases.

I will be updating you all on my journey. So far so good, just got to overcome these grumbles. :)

Tune in for my 2nd day. Although the post from yesterday is late, today 07/20 is the 2nd of my juice fast.
