And the Journey continues....

Day 15 of 21

The detox phase of our nutritional cleanse is over and today we head into the third phase and final week.

In two weeks, I have lost 15.5 pounds and my beloved has lost 10.7 pounds.  Through healthy and clean eating of real foods, fruits and vegetables, proper hydration and healthy organic supplements we have reclaimed our bodies natural balance, released the unwanted compounds that were holding our sytems back and began the detoxification process.

Last night before dinner we drank our last detox shake and this morning we begin the process of restoring our digestive systems and our other internal processes through more clean eating, hydration and healthy supplements so they can operate at thier maximum efficiency.  

This cleasnse was the jumpstart that both John and I needed to help us reach our goals. He is headed towrds ONEderland and is just over 5 pounds away from reaching his goal and am determined to lose another 50 pounds this year and just over 34 pounds away from my goal.

- we are losing weight
- we have more energy
- our skin is clearer andhealthier
- we are learning new recipes, some we like, some not so much
- we are learning more about nutrition and food as fuel for our bodies
- we are sleeping better
- our digestion is better

And the list goes on.  Bottom line, we are improving our overall health inside and out every single day.   And the grace and the gift of that cannot be measured!

Here is to the start of another amazing day!  Thank you Jesus!

Bearing with the faults of others

I’ve had my copy for well over 20 years and it is highlighted and tabbed and falling apart but it is and always will be my go to!! During Lent I was so excited to pray with the Hallow App and the reason I was so excited was that they were doing reflections on the Imitation of Christ, and it was a blessed Lenten Season with Hallow and that blessing continues for both me and my beloved today as it has become a part of our daily routine. Which I have to say is anything but routine but joyously consistent. Back at the beginning of Lent I ordered a revised translation from Pauline Books, it took a few months but I received the book recently and have been loving it. I enjoy very similar translations to my penguin classic and I am blessed by the reflections and prayers at the end of each section. And

Usefulness of Adversity

  Today the reading I turned to was Usefulness in Adversity. For me it reminds me to draw closer to God, to seek His wisdom and guidance and to always remember that it is He who sees my heart.

Avoiding rash judgement

I love starting my day with a random reading from the Imitation of Christ!  Somehow it always seems to be just what I need to hear for that day.  This morning was no different, the reading was on avoiding rash judgement.
