Day 3

Day three was SUCH a great day!! I got up at 3:30am for my work day, and I was out of bed, energetic, and ready to go right away! I made my breakfast juice, and off to work I went. I was feeling REALLY great.

I decided to try something: juice at home for breakfast, drink water all day long at work, and do my lunch juice when I got home around 2:00pm. I made it until about 12:45-ish before I started getting hungry, so I did pretty good. But I will take a lunch juice with me from now on, that will just make it easier.

So, once at work, I was a working machine! My concentration was drastically improved, and I had energy to spare. My legs were constantly going underneath my desk, keeping time to whatever song I was listening to, to help get out some pent up energy. I drank probably 8 glasses of water (at least) and definitely got my work out going to and from the bathroom all day. It was kinda funny, haha.

Headed home, drank my lunch juice with Andrew, and chilled for a couple of hours. Then I had home group...there was a table full of sweets!!! Pound cake, chocolate chocolate-chip cookies, strawberries and homemade whipped cream, and about four other plates of goodies! I was able to resist pretty darn well, though! I told them how it would've been REALLY tough if there had been pizza, haha (that pizza and cheeseburger craving is actually lessening, but it's still there).

They couldn't have been more supportive and encouraging! One of the girls who has been a huge mentor to me already was saying they had a juicer, too, and wanted to have us over for a juice dinner sometime! I was like, "No one else is ever going to offer to do that, that is so sweet!" The other girls were like, "Yeah, that would be fun, we should do that!!" We are just SO BLESSED, I just CANNOT say it enough, that the Lord brought us to this group of people. I had over 2 hours of raw, emotional sharing with the ladies...and I just always come away praising the Lord for answering that prayer of finding fellowship in our church the way He did. They show me new things about myself and my faith, and I've even been able to help some of them out in small ways: but all the credit goes to the Lord, He brought together a group of women that can help each other in times of need. So thankful!!!!

Then I came home, Andrew and I did a dinner juice and talked and played with Dewey and watched a standup comedy special before bedtime. I am anxious to get home today and see what this energy does for me on the treadmill!!

I did get a bit of a headache driving home from work and from home group yesterday, but felt better pretty quickly after drinking my juice meals. Andrew seemed to feel a bit better in the headache department, but his stomach was pretty upset for most of the day. He worked out, though, and had plenty of energy to do so.

All in all...we're so happy we're doing this. The support from our home group, our coworkers, and our family and friends has been overwhelming! Today has brought about some AWESOME changes (that I will share on the next blog, so stay tuned!!), so we are just so thankful that the Lord put us on this path, it's been exactly what we needed to get our LIVES back. =)
