August 28th, 2009 louisj No comments

My 3 Day Fruit Fast.

The objective of this 3 day fruit fast was to cleanse my body, build it up with regular physical exercise as I build up and cleanse my spirit with prayer and devotion. Today was a good day because I continue the fruit fast on this the third day, though my exercise routine was a little off. But, the best part of the day was my devotion.

Healthy Weight Loss Program.

Eating a healthy diet is an essential part of my healthy weight loss program. Regular exercise, fasting and prayer are also. As I focus on God my mind is set at peace and any focus on the anxieties of life is removed and I am therefore free of stress to pursue the things God has called me to pursue. During these three days I have set my self to exercise everyday, both cardio and resistance, and I have committed time to devotion. This is my healthy weight loss program.
