Day 1 - I made it!

Well, I made it through day one and it was really not that bad. I used to much pepper. I like cayenne pepper so I decided to add a pinch more... boy, I paid the price. It is hard to explain the lemon drink. It is some what sweet but the pepper gives it such a bite. Not like hot like eating hot wings but just a bit --- well like when pepper spray hits the skin ... but not to that extreme. I guess you will have to just try it yourself. I started out day one at 264.2 lbs.
The first morning after the tea and salt water flush. I had no sign of any detoxing affects. I was a little concerned. So I read up on it and gain a little in sight that may even be helpful on my spiritual fast.
The website suggested not to worry if nothing "extreme" happens the first day, but keep working the process - tea at night, flush in the morning and 6-12 glasses of the lemon drink a day. Plus water as needed. By the 2nd or 3rd day, just be ready. It seems that people who east a "see food" diet. You know, eat everything they see like myself. There is a build up of waste and junk in your system. And it actually could take 2-3 days to break through. Then the detox process will be carried out.
That being the natural - the in sight for the spiritual is how different is it? I am mean surely we have build up of toxins, sin, brokenness, and other stuff we are carrying around. we want mention the spiritual attacks on us. How many of us have devoted just one day to prayer or maybe two and walked off thinking - "no answer" - prayer does not work? We have to be willing to stay the course until we break through our stuff. Holding on to the knowledge that we are not alone and the hope that He is reaching for us....

Well I ended day one exhausted and drained. see ya tomorrow or the next day.

Peace -

LETS GO CAPS
