Do you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God. You are not your own. You were bought for a price. Therefore, honor God with your body. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

Cleanse

In the fall of 2008, I went to a silent retreat. It was in the Colorado Rockies and was a time to really seek out and hear what God had to say to me. During that time, I believe I heard several things...

(1) No Sugar, No Caffeine
(2) No "coping" alcohol - meaning a glass of wine with dinner is fine, but 4 margaritas is not!
(3) Go to the trainer
(4) Go to the naturopath
(5) Do Couch Potato to 5K

It's just out there. That's all. Just documented.

    I've heard of people going to a silent retreat. That would be SO hard.

    Good luck with your new plan...

    OK when I was reading your other blog (Nehemiah), I thought it was interesting that part of the discussion was about fasting. I even thought about posting a comment, but didn't. You know I support you, I'm just not sure what the "cleanse" means. I want you to be safe and healthy. How will you sustain your energy?

    Melissa - thanks.

    Tina - It's, definitely, NOT a fast. For the first 11 days, I will eat fruits, vegetables, lentils, and rice. I will, also, have protein shakes. The last 10 days, I will add fish, chicken, or lean beef. They do recommend walking during the cleanse, but no running or highly aerobic exercises. I, totally, trust my naturopath. She recommends it twice a year to detox your system.

    My believing that God wants me to fast 3 meals per week is, totally, separate from the cleanse. I don't plan on fasting during the cleanse unless I feel REALLY convicted to do so.

    Thanks for your concern. I want the feedback even if it's questioning. I know you are looking out for my best interest! Lova ya!
