God is so awesome!<BR/><BR/>When I was led to fast this month, it was really about direction for this year. There were a few things I needed to see clearly (emotionally, professionally, and spiritually). Not only did the Lord help straighten me out in those areas, but He's also given me a bonus in the health-and-fitness department. <BR/><BR/>I am more determined now than ever to really commit this temple back to him. I've seen Him keep me on this all-liquid fast (veggie, fruit, and protein drinks, water, broth, and the like). I even shed 15 pounds—a nice little side effect. But whatever the case, I've been full of energy and beaming. My skin and hair look great! And I don’t feel like I’m going to die if I don’t get a slice of pizza (although, at some point, I WILL have to get one…LOL!) Seriously, God has really blessed me with strength and vitality—more so than I’ve ever had on any fast. It’s truly amazing. I really believe He used this fast to teach me how to diet and eat properly. I’ve been taking it all in, reading, and listening. <BR/><BR/>So I've decided that when the fast is over, I'm going to continue with my own version of the Slim Fast diet—two liquid meals, plus one sensible meal per day…low carbs, low fat. I’ll do that for several months. I’m also going to hit the home gym more often (a.k.a., a workout DVD in my living…I refuse to pay another dime to another gym until I can get this thing right at home first—for free!) This time, the purpose will be to clean out my system and lose some weight. I know that with God’s help (and lots of prayer and encouragement), I can do it! <BR/><BR/>Thanks, again, for reading my post and for sharing your thoughts. May the Lord bless you and may His will be done in and through us all. God bless you!<BR/><BR/>Genikwa<BR/>www.GenikwaWilliams.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027179631891898735.post-55082411792225510672009-01-31T11:32:00.000-06:002009-01-31T11:32:00.000-06:00It sounds as if you defiantely have an awesome gam...It sounds as if you defiantely have an awesome game plan!!Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13682296763369964666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027179631891898735.post-88175654598193801142009-01-31T11:09:00.000-06:002009-01-31T11:09:00.000-06:00I will be praying for you.I will be praying for you.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09275456448997619944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027179631891898735.post-72810655920533378832009-01-31T09:19:00.000-06:002009-01-31T09:19:00.000-06:00So well said.
